Forums - Gaming - CEA starts work to have 3D glasses standardized

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/10/cea-kicks-off-process-to-standardize-active-3d-glasses/

This one's still in the earliest stages, but it looks like the Consumer Electronics Association (a.k.a. theCEA) is doing its part to add a bit of order to the wild world of active 3D glasses. To that end, it's just put out a request for proposals on a standard IR sync interface for active 3D glasses, and it's encouraging companies that wish to participate to join the 3D Technologies Working Group -- they'll have to work fairly fast, though, as proposals are due in by March 31st. The ultimate goal, of course, is to ensure that 3D glasses sold by one manufacturer are compatible with 3D TVs made by another manufacturer, although there's no word on any companies that have actually signed on to the plan just yet.

Finally! I was wondering when this was going to come around, let's hope everyone join in so we can get rid of the confusing overpriced mess we have now. Until we can have glassesless 3D, we might as well get the best glasses we can.

Everyone would, but until then, this should help make shopping for glasses a more pleasant experience.

Not really, 3DTVs are still huge investment, as a consumer I don't even want to look at extra costs of a device.

What ssj12 said pretty much. If you standardize glasses so every pair of glasses can be used with every TV, there is competition rather than everyone just selling their own glasses at overprice because no one else is making glasses compatible with their TVs.
