Hasta La Gadget!

While we wait for manufacturers of 3D TVs to get together and agree on a standard so we don’t need different glasses for every different set, Samsung is at least making things easier for four-eyed dorks like me. You will be able to order prescription 3D specs to watch Samsung 3DTVs, without having to pile up pairs of spectacles in a nightmare of layered lenses.

The specs will be made to order, are available in different styles and, as you can see in the picture, they’re actually pretty stylish. Samsung says that the glasses will take around a week to make. Finally, a pair of 3D-spex that I can wear down to my local bar to watch Barcelona playing in 3D on the big-screen. Well, as long as my local has a Samsung screen, I guess.

I imagine the future of these glasses. They have polarized, LCD shutters in them, right? What’s to stop the electronics inside automatically adjusting the amount of light they let through when I’m not watching TV? That way, I would need just one pair, for seeing, sunbathing and 3D-movie-watching.
