I rescued a 3d capable TV a few weeks back. Then, yesterday, stumbled on a pair of glasses that *likely* work with said TV (I've not verified this, yet).
The glasses seem rather low-tech. I suspect a pair of LCD shutters controlled by a wireless signal? Which, potentially, could just be a carrier at phase-locked to the TV's frame rate.
Or, is there more magic to it?
I don't think so.
I have a Panasonic 3D TV with active glasses of the sort you describe. Requires a 3D TV signal. Wimbledon is transmitted in 3D and is amusing for a short while but tiring to wear them for any length of time.
Particularly annoying in bright lighting conditions when the flicker from the half speed frame display rate seems to be more prominent.
Wimbledon live is mid summer afternoons so not a good fit.
In the 3D mode it is unwatchable without the active glasses. Some DVDs have 3D content if you scour the tat shops or eBay.
It is better than the red/cyan glasses 3D but the novelty soon wears off and the content is often gratuitously 3D "effects" boulders and spears coming out of the screen - that sort of thing.
