I paid an extra £1.50 (about US$2 give or take a few cents) to see avatar 3D and got the 3D specs. If that is too expensive you need to ask your parents for more pocket money. |
That's the difference between the the passive system found in theaters and the shutter glasses found in the current home solution. Google the home 3D glasses and you have to purchase a $100+ set that includes one (1) shutter glasses and an emitter. That means at best you'd have to spend $50 or so for each person who wants to watch a 3D movie in your house if they no longer need the special software and the emitter is built into the TV.
The theater version has cheap plastic lenses, not battery powered wireless shutter glasses. Big difference and why I made my point above about the current flawed system.
