Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and XpanD will create an active 3D glasses standard

3D TV models currently on the market utilize each one different 3D glasses that works only for their own brand. XpanD tried to break this stigma by offering their Xpand Universal X103 3D glasses, but it wasn’t enough to remedy this situation.
TV makers are being faced by 3D TV’s sluggish sales so they are starting to partnering with each other to find a solution and help the consumer in their choice. For this, they will begin with the 3D glasses.
Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and XpanD announced the Full HD Glasses Initiative that will bring a standard format for 3D glasses using active shutter technology and that communicates to the TV via IR or Bluetooth. They should be backwards compatible with the 3D TVs of 2011, but older models from 2010 are out of luck…
I’ve included the press release after the break. These 3D glasses should start appearing next year.
