With the advent of 3D TV, the whole viewing concept has taken a different direction. All thanks to the polarized 3D glasses, that has revolutionized the viewing experience. It is 3D glasses that make the 3D illusion since, it confines the light which reaches human eye. You would have been hearing about 3D for ages but the content has picked up recently.
It would not be an overestimation to say that 3D technologies are impeccable as, Avatar is an apt example to judge. However, there are some drawbacks of 3D glasses that a watcher must have noticed it, such as dimness of the image and difficulty in viewing with a tilted head causing color change and ghosting as well. 3D watchers also suffer from headaches, eye pain and nausea.
Fortunately, there is an array of 3D glasses available today, depending on the technology. The first one is Shutter Glass technology used by Samsung 3D TV. This technology’s 3D glasses are troublesome to watch for long duration since, it requires batteries to operate, making the glasses heavy. Another technology is FPR (Film Patterned Retarder), which has wide-angle view ability (even in a laid-back position). Moreover, as FPR do not need batteries hence, its 3D glasses are lightweight, making the viewing experience comfortable than ever.
