3D for people with glases.

[admin_exported]

As i am planing to buy a new television set and would like to know how one with bad eyesight,who wears glasses, watches 3D television if it requires you having to wear special eye ware.

The 3D glasses just pop over your normal ones. Works, even if you do look a bit daft! (I should know, I wear glasses).

3D glasses are designed to go over spectacle wearers, so you shouldn't have a problem with 3D glasses.

...And Samsung is already offering prescription 3D glasses to consumers back home in Korea.

slewis:3D glasses are designed to go over spectacle wearers...

Wow, they must be huuuge!

Thanks you guys, it does sound a bit cumbersome though.

OK, we confess: the TV companies have begged us to keep this on the QT, but now we have to come clean about the real size of 3D glasses

Next thing laser corrective treatment with 3D vision built in!

Oakley are making prescription 3D glasses too. They may not be to every bodies taste, but they do make some of the best optics in the business.

Provided you have the use of both eyes, you already have 3D vision built in.

You could get them to slip some polarised sheets in whilst they've got the cornea flap pulled up though, it'd work in the cinema and with LG's passive TVs.

As long as they don't put the wrong polarity in each eye. And you didn't want to drive in the dark...

 

[Andrew Everard]

And on a serious note, if you have severe eyesight problems, I'd advise a long trial of 3D before spending the money, as some users find their eyesight means they just don't 'get' 3D.

For example my wife, who is unfeasibly shortsighted (and I'll point out that's the only reason she married me before anyone else does!) finds that even with her glasses on she struggles to get the 3D image to work.

Being a spectacle wearer and having sat through several 3D movies on the big screen over the past few years, i think its dam uncomfortable to wear these 3D specs over normal spectacles.

I certainly have no intention to have to do this at home to watch TV, unless a better alternative is available.

I'vw found on the whole active shutter glasses more comfortable than the cheap cinema polarised ones.
