Your Own 3-D Glasses
Your Own 3-D Glasses. No germs. Sounds like a great idea, specially as the big movies are going 3-D.
When you saw Avatar, I’m sure you remember the lob-sided, germ-invested 3-D shades you had to wear–you know, the ones with the RealD label that pinched your nose throughout James Cameron’s three-and-a-half hour epic. RealD, the company behind most theaters’ digital projection technology, distributes these free plastic-wrapped shades before each showing. However, eyewear companies such as Look3D and Marchon are moving in on the 3-D glasses market, creating stylish shades for retail. But that’s not a problem for RealD, it just means more profits and advertising.
Marchon’s shades priced between $35 to $100 for each pair, with designer and prescription versions costing even more, it’s perhaps no surprise the 3-D market is booming.
