Little mind wondering. Someone designs 3D glasses and does not have a name for it yet, marketing dude tries them on for the first time, game starts and shouts .. eeey 3D ! I believe that's the way this product obtained it's name. Okay, okay .. yes it's more likely it's you see 3D with your eyes and that whas the basis for this products name, but I definitely like my version better ;)

Today we'll be looking at a set of Stereo 3D glasses from Eye3D with  a gamers point of view. 3-Qubed send us in the premium version, and that means a set of wireless infrared, and a set of wired, LCD shutter glasses. Glasses compatible with Glide, OpenGL and Direct3D. As noted, wireless. It's the thing of 2002, everything gets unplugged. It's a trend that will develop rapidly and hey .. why not. Who needs wires everywhere when you can do without them right ? 3-Qubed is one of the companies distributing this product while the product itself is produced by iArt3D.

Shortly 3-Qubed will become one of the rare companies that actually manufacture 3D LCD Shutter Glasses in the USA, specifically McAllen, TX. They are negotiating with iart3d now to buy the rights and tooling equipment. This will make bring new advantages to the user since the price of the glasses can eventually come down, also the availability of truly unique and powerful glasses will make the Stereoscopic 3d gaming even more enjoyable. The Eye3D Premium is unique in many ways.

Before we start, We strongly recommend you to read our generic stereo article first as this will make you understand the technology that we are reviewing a tad better. Also, if you decide to buy these glasses and try 'em on then send the girlfriend away, she will either burst in to laughter or likely leave you. With the glasses on you will look like a complete idiot ;)
