    Hmm. Maybe D-Box owners can turn them upside down and use them with X-Sim :rofl:

    On the serious side though, the lack of overall standards is quite a problem!

    My 3D glasses have a sync button to jump one frame, to prevent the need to turn them upside down :)
    However, shutter glasses are a dead end anyway.

    Imho the RealD (polarized light) technology (e.g Avatar) is the state of the art so far, and fortunately the company is going for the consumer market soon :thbup:

    Btw, RealD sells hardware filters (polarizers) for projectors already.

    But you neeed a silver coated screen to use this technology, and they did not mention a price, so I guess it wont be cheap :)

    You guys are quiet right with the standards. Most of the companies want to have it their way, with a product line that is not compatible with anything which eventually kills the their market.

    This sort of marketing works great on paper: People will buy only from that product line (and not others' products) -> Company makes lot of money.
    In practice: People spending anything over ~$300 (especially over $1000) will do a thorough research on ALL available products they can buy and make a decision based on: performance, price, quality and most importantly COMPATIBILITY.

    Who wants to buy a DVD player that only works with ONE brand of TV/Projector? I sure don't...

    I agree, shutter type glasses are dead already. Once RealD takes off at an affordable pricepoint, the rest will be history.
