When 3D TVs first came to the market one of the things that made no sense to us is that every manufacturer had their own 3D glasses (not to mention the aftermarket ones). That problem may soon be alleviated as the top 3D display companies have banded together to create what they believe will be an industry standard.

Panasonic, Samsung,Sony and X6D Limited (XPAND 3D) have announced their plan to collaborate on the development of a new technology standard for consumer 3D active glasses, under the name, “Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative.”

Without getting into to much technical jargon, the companies have agreed to make a standerdized pair of glasses that utilize RF (radio frequencies) that will work with TV’s, PC’s, 3D Theatres and projectors.

The license of today’s newly announced Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative should hit stores next month at which time the development of new standardization-applied active 3D glasses will begin. Universal glasses with the new IR/RF protocols will be made available in 2012, and are targeted to be backward compatible with 2011 3D active TVs.
