Soon, Philips will launch more of its 3D television. And these 3D TV’s will be paired with XpanD’s active shutter glasses.
At the held CES last January 2010 in Las Vegas, XpanD launched its lineup of 3D glasses. The company claims to have hold of 90% of Asian cinemas and more than 50% in Europe and 75% in France specifically.

“In many respects, the cinema market represents an endurance test for the glasses. Our glasses are required to perform beautifully multiple times a day, many days a week, and they must also be comfortable, easily cleaned and robust. Having proven our technology in the cinema sphere, we’re addressing the consumer market by adding extra style to designs, making available new colours, entering OEM partnerships with great companies such as Philips, and also pursuing our own retail strategy to support consumers who need additional glasses,” explained Maria Costeira, CEO of XpanD.

Another Avatar related story here for you. According to the Italian ministry of health, the use of 3D technology in the hit movie Avatar presents a health risk to audiences. So far 7,000 sets of 3D glasses have been confiscated from Italian cinemas and even more could be taken by the ministry. The officials claim that the glasses used in cinemas hold potential hygiene risks if they are not cleaned properly in-between screenings. The 7,000 sets of 3D viewing glasses were confiscated because they failed to display any official tags stating that they had been tested and they would not present any risk of short-term vision damage to users. Despite the glasses getting confiscated, Avatar is still the number one grossing film in Italy.

3D viewing glasses aren’t known for making the user look particularly cool, but then again they aren’t meant too. 3D viewing glasses are designed to make the content look good. However, with all the recent groundbreaking news on the 3D technology front, things appear to be changing for the viewing apparatus too. Stereoscopic viewing glasses are now being designed to look a little trendier and a new set of anaglyph glasses have been made available to 3D lovers, the Bless 3D Aviator Glasses.
