I won't be buying any Raybans and I don't attend 3d films. The film watching experience works well in 2d. Thanks. Well I hate to be a buzzkill but personally I detest 3D films.

Some other blogs I've read just don't get what great news this is for the future of 3-D! I'm glad to see the glasses behemoth Luxotica is optomistic about 3-D. If 3-D tech takes off the way many companies are hoping, then I think Luxotica will have a head start to a new cash cow. I don't think the demand is high enough right now for a killing to be made on these glasses, but that's not the reason they made the anouncement. Ray-Ban is now the FIRST company to offer 3-D designers, that's the reason for the anouncement. Cinephiles will be sure to buy a pair but until more movies and mainstream 3-D media come out it will be a slim market. But I am truly hoping that movies continue improve on 3-D tech and just think if video games and tv take off, holy crap what a great time to be a tech-freak! I know a little bit about glasses and polarized lenses. To be the most effective at blocking everyday glare from the sun, polarized lenses have a horizontal polarization. But in movies, one lens has to be offset by 90 degrees for it to block the unwanted image meant for the other eye. So wearing them outside like sunglasses will still work, but not as well. Anyway, yes they do dim the image a bit on the screen, but in the last movie I saw, Beowulf, it was not noticeable. This is great news!

WOO HOO! NOT! Seriously, who's going to spend this kind of money for glasses that will account for less than 10% of the movies you're going to watch (guessing at that figure, but I doubt it's more)? Personally, I think that these glasses will not perform well in either facility they're geared towards (protection from the sun, and enhancing the 3-D experience). Oh yay! $200 – 300 3-D glasses… WOO HOO!

Prescription 3-D glasses sound fucking awesome. I'll stare at the sun for no less than 3 hours every day to get the 2-D affliction that requires a 3-D prescription. Oh, were you talking about a 'regular' prescription with the 3-D tint? Because I'd buy those too “what about prescription?”
