Prescription 3D Glasses On Their Way Soon, For Samsung 3DTVs [3dTv]

3D glasses could be made sufficiently big to fit over prescription glasses , nonetheless it’s still not a pleasing experience. Having to constantly push up one pair of glasses is nerdy enough, but two?

Unfortunately it’s simply so far Samsung of the enormous players who’ve commiserated with us four-eyed lot’s plight, though Oakley mentioned last month they plan on releasing them before the top of the year. They’re just polarized lenses though, so can only be used in cinemas and 3DTV-equipped pubs within the UK with Sky.

While Samsung’s glasses will only be compatible with their own sets presumably (among the peskiest things about 3D), I am hoping it’ll spur on other manufacturers to give an identical options. With over 120 million Americans (reportedly) wearing glasses, that’s a rather large chunk of the population that’s having to fight with slipping double-frames. [ Akihabara News ]
