I have a silly question.

In my country, the glasses they give us to see 3D movies, namely Avatar, don't work with batteries I think. They don't "flash" in my eyes. Just regular futuristic glasses.

Why do those Nvidia glasses work on batteries?

I know one thing is movies, and another is game's with frame rate drops. But still. I don't get it why the 3D cinema glasses "don't work"(?) for 3D computer games.


The 3D glasses you use in theaters and some countries work on lens polarization. Works exactly the same way as shuttering glasses but accomplishes the shutter differently.

3D vision work using built in batteries to close and open 60 times per second. Polarization glasses allow certain type of light per lense which makes each eye blink 60 times per second.

Same shit different package... :)
