Erm, VR headsets are 3D glasses.

I don't think it quite works the same way though. 3D glasses give you 3D when looking at a 2D screen while VR gives you 3D because you're IN the world.

3 dimentional vision is entirely about your left and right eyes getting slightly different version of the same picture based on your eyes being a few inches apart from each other.  an object that is far away is barely different and an object that is close to you is quite different.

3D glasses work by filtering out portions of the image so that the left and right eye recieve different images.  in the theater they use polarized light. 

home 3D tvs use alternating shutters.

but whatever.  VR puts the screen right in your face so that there is a screen dedicated to each eye.  so 3D viewing is basically baked into VR,.. you just have to show the correct shifted images to each eye.  no glasses required because the vr headset is the glasses.
