Sony is about to make 3d tvs with the same technology. But they will require their own versions of the glasses. Note that there is one irritating thing about the 3d. At movies, Carol likes to sit way back from the screen. Having the whole screen and then some in the field of vision meant that some of the 3d effects would disappear into the angular corners. That proved distracting at the time and brought one slightly out of the story. The 3d version of the movie was 3 dollars more than the conventional one. The specs therefor, even if subsidized, could not have cost much more than 3 dollars. They reportedly work by "circular" polarization, whatever that is.
