We believe that Sony showed off their final version of the wraparound style Active Shutter 3D glasses at CES 2010 in black, pink and teal colors – they should be available for consumers to purchase in mid-2010. I believe that the this is the final version of the glasses because they will be offering the 3D capable BRAVIA LX900 series TV’s to consumers in about 3-5 months and it would be pretty absurd to do a total redesign at this point. Plus the LX900’s I saw on the show floor had these exact glasses. I asked high level Sony representatives to offer any pricing information and other details on how much seperate Active Shutter 3D glasses and emitters would cost but they were not able to comment. I honestly believe that it will cost quite a bit of money – it wouldn’t be totally unreasonable to assume that the glasses alone could cost $200-$400 each – or more. Before you balk at the price, you must understand that is very low pricing for this technology and adoption will only drive the price down further.
