WITH the hit movie Avatar creating a buzz around 3-D entertainment, a California company is touting what it believes are the first 3-D glasses which can also double as sunglasses.
\\"We believe we're the first ones and we have a significant patent portfolio in the lens device so we believe we'll have a good bit of protection in the market,\\" MicroVision Optical president David Johnson said.
The San Diego-based company is displaying the glasses here at the annual Consumer Electronics Show, where leading television manufacturers have been pushing 3-D technology as the next big thing in home theatre.
MicroVision Optical said the polarised lenses provide sun protection while also allowing for 3-D viewing of the most widely used 3-D movie theatre systems and the latest generation of flat screen television or computer monitors.
\\"It decodes the content very clearly, very crisply,\\" Johnson said, adding that the 3-D/sunglasses \\"should be a permanent addition to your eyewear collection.\\"
He said the glasses, which come in a variety of styles, will sell for between $US32 ($34.90) and $US40 ($43.63) in optical stores.
\\"We're also working on a prescription program where you can have your own prescription 3-D glasses as well,\\" Johnson said.
