Oakley to Debut 3D Eyewear With Special TRON: Legacy Film Edition

Agreed, for something that I wouldn't use that often I couldn't justify the price either. Plus whether you buy the glasses at the theater or not they're still going to charge you that little bit extra for them. So what's the point in shelling out the extra cash. Sure they don't look as goofy as the hand out ones, but who cares you're in a dark theater.

Though, I guess they might be marketing this more towards the at home 3D TV viewers. Then they won't look as funny wearing the bulky glasses when they're home. Still, doesn't seem worth it.

That's the thing though: the 3D technology they use at theaters is completely different than the technology used in homes with 3D TVs, so these wouldn't even work at home with a 3D TV as far as I understand. Cause as far as I know, theaters (except iMAX, which this isn't talking about) use a technology that requires two projectors, then the glasses are polarized. 3D TVs use something more akin to iMAX's technology in that there's a processor in the glasses that works by alternately sending a different image to one eye at a time in quick succession.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding though and these are intended for the iMAX technology or they work on both or something. But as far as I know, these would only work in theaters, which makes them even more useless.

Its Oakley lol. If you buy sunglasses, like I do (but i dont buy these) you understand what Oakley is. You defiantly dont expect Oakley name to be cheap, but you expect the highest of quality in comfort and use.

And about the 3D, they are bothing going in the same direction now. Theaters are capable of outputting in digital now. So those theaters are capable of doing the 3D on their own, as its usuelly an effect added later through editing software. So this signal is splitting the colors and making it look as if its popping out. Thats why if you take the glasses off, it doesnt look as horrible as old school 3D movies.

I can understand the night vision googles. I have a pair of those myself. But I'm speculating its price to go up on ebay. Whereas those TRON glasses won't do anything. They won't get more expensive. And they're not that good.

lol but thats the thing. You got the goggles because your a fan and wanted them, the price will go up because they are collectibles to the fans.

Same thing here, and it will be ten times better since its Tron. Especially if the movie goes well. Plus if you say Oakley isn't quality, but those goggles are, there is just something wrong with you.

perhaps. But in any case. it's too crazy expensive for a pair of glasses.

Besides, I never said those goggles are anything of quality :P
