Put mine in, thanks so much for posting this. It's such a pain to get these without going through some ridiculous process or having to pay a ridiculous price for something that costs 5 cents to make. |

We just got a pair in the mail today. Looks like they are sending them out to everyone as it's tied into the promotion of "My Bloody Valentine" on PPV/VOD. Apparently, watching the trailer through VOD will trigger the system to send out another pair. |

Thanks, but use the digitally signed "https" web site instead: »https://fios3d.verizon.com/ I ordered a 6-pack.
Do the glasses work for this NASA picture? Sarychev Peak Volcano in Stereo It needs red on left eye, blue on right eye. |

| These glasses are magenta/green, which means they probably won't be useful for much else. After you are done with them, you can throw them in a drawer with the yellow/blue glasses from the 3D Chuck episode.
Most 3D glasses are red/blue, but they also come in red/green, red/green-blue, & red/cyan, and then there are the polarized glasses. |

I ordered a 6-pack when I saw this thread, only to see a pair of them that had already come in the mail on the kitchen table the next morning.

said by Earleyp  :3D glasses for viewing your Verizon FiOS 3D Movies » fios3d.verizon.com/You don't have to pay for anything, Not even S&H Why would anyone want to wear those crappy colored glasses during an entire movie. If you want to see a real 3D movie, that uses clear, polarized lenses, then go to a 3D DLP movie theater. It is a night and day difference in what you see. and you don't get a headache from looking through those funky colored lenses. |

| I don't think these are the old red/blue ones you are thinking of. I saw this in the theater and it used the clear polarized lenses. Don't think it would be any different.
What they need to offer is glasses that you put on that make this movie better

What they need to offer is glasses that you put on that make this movie better yes it is different. there are colored lenses for at home. At the movie theater the DLP projector is able to produce two separate frames so each polarized lens sees a specific frame. You can't do this at home.(I guess technically you can with a DLP projector and a PC and the proper software)
At home it will be colored lenses and it looks like crap.
Journey to the Center of the earth is a perfect example. At the theater there were clear polarized lenses. For the DVD and BD it has 3D glasses with colored lenses. A few minutes with those on can become very irritating |

I threw mine in the trash. However, I examined the glasses carefully before I tossed them, and it doesn't appear as if the technology behind these so-called "3D glasses" has changed at all since the 1950s.
If they're anything like their 1950s-1970s counterparts, the only 3D images these glasses will produce will be the headache-induced spots you'll see before your eyes after wearing these things for an hour. I actually can't believe they're still trying to market "3D" anything at this point. After all, who really needs "3D" in the High Def age? |

I was surprised to find out that when 3D originally came out decades ago that they also used clear polarized lenses. But it was too difficult to keep the two projectors in sync back then. But it was very expensive so they came up with a cheaper and more feasible alternative for the times.
Which is when the process that utilized the color lenses was used. |
