With all the hype around the new 3D TVs coming out this year, it’s inevitable that we have to talk about 3D glasses.

Sony has announced a lineup of 3D glasses to compliment their upcoming series of 3D TVs.

Sony’s 3D TVs use a proprietary system of alternating images to create the 3D effect. An emitter and a pair of special glasses are needed to see in 3D.  The glasses’ lenses alternate between the images causing your brain to see in 3D.  Sony’s TDG-BR100 and TDG-BR50 active shutter glasses will cost about $133 this June in Japan.  If you buy one of Sony’s 3D TVs you get the emitter and two sets of glasses free.

While their glasses may be a higher quality than others in the industry other manufacturers claim that their shutter glasses would cost about 1/4 Sony’s current asking price.

Have I said 3D enough yet?  3D Television is sure to be the next jump in home theater enjoyment so you might as well look good while sitting on the couch dodging arrows flying at you.
