3D displays, movies and glasses are getting pretty common these days, but apparently, they’re not that fun for people who already rock glasses with corrective lenses. Samsung just came up with a solution: prescription 3D glasses that’ll let you enjoy 3D content without having to slap the 3D pair over corrective glasses or contacts. For that, they’re going to be working with optometrists, and will take about a week to manufacture to fit your needs. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but as usual for unusual things that needs to be custom-built, don’t expect them to come cheap. [Via Akihabara News]
Almost every major home entertainment brand has come out with a 3D-playing HDTV model, each offering their own version of specialized 3D glasses to for viewing. That could cause problems when you rock a Samsung HDTV at home and have to go over your buddy’s house to watch a Shrek 3D marathon on his *gasp* Sony HDTV. Monster Cable offers a solution: pick up their Vision Max 3D glasses.
Looking to upgrade to a gaming rig that’ll literally get you in the game? CyberPower just announced a new line of 3D Vision gaming systems built to support Nvidia’s 3D Vision tech—complete with fast-refresh monitors and 3D glasses—right from out of the box. It’s a pretty big box though; the systems come with 3D-ready 22-inch Samsung 2233RZ LCD displays, 3D Vision stereoscopic glasses, and a high-end spec that’s configured to power smooth, eye-popping 3D gaming performance.
After shelling out at least $3,200 for a 3D-capable HDTV, more serious dough for a 3D-capable Blu-ray player, what else do you need? 3D glasses. How much will the new technology cost? According to a listing at Vann’s, Samsung’s active 3D glasses will cost $150 each.
