Active shutter glasses....prescription lenses

Post by purifier »

Has anyone ever tried to have them custom made? Is that even possible?

Hmm.. not sure that would really work. Feel too dorky wearing double glasses?

Yup, in theaters I get nose ache after only 2 hours, so I can't imagine a 6 hours game session at home :(
The only good thing is that I've been told the Samsung glasses are lighter than the XpanD

Well for some passive TVs/monitors they make "clip-ons" that attach to prescription glasses and these are very light and comfortable.

If I remember correctly Oakley sells premium (because they cost a lot) RealD glasses with the prescription lenses already polarized, but for active shutter I couldn't find anything :(

Quick useless update, it seems Samsung wanted to sell the 3700 active glasses with a prescription clip on RX mount, unfortunately that feature has been
officially removed from the final product and they don't know when they'll sell something similar (just been told by Samsung in a 15 minutes call to their help desk)
