Seems Samsung is trying to bring a few more people into the 3D fold by offering prescription 3D Glasses.
Samsung has recognized the fact that the majority of people require corrective lenses, and a great many choose to wear glasses, and therefore have an impeded 3D viewing experience. Their answer is prescription 3D glasses which are custom-made by an optometrist and take about a week to make.
Details are slim (Circularly Polarized or Active?) but as a member of the Glasses-wearing club I have to admit I can’t see this going anywhere. The big JVC Glasses (Circularly Polarized) do a decent job fitting over my glasses, and I particularly like Panasonic’s 3D Glasses (Active Shutter), which cleverly separate the lenses from the legs, making plenty of space for regular glasses underneath.
Nonetheless, I wish a company would start selling more comfortable “over glasses” stereo glasses. Seems that would be far cheaper to product, and far more useful. Who knows, maybe a return to “clip-on” glasses.
Update: Well lookee here. Only $10 even.
