3D television screens require 3D computer glasses with active or passive lenses and special color filters. Polarized glasses are designed for modern 3D movies, while red and blue filter glasses were used in early 3D movies. Active glasses use battery power and passive glasses filter out specific colors. Most video game systems use active polarized glasses, while older versions of passive glasses are great for classic 3D movies. Modern 3D computer glasses have a futuristic style and can be wireless or wired.

Three-dimensional (3D) television screens are becoming popular in home entertainment. These screens require 3D computer glasses to view the advanced special effects the screens provide. 3D glasses come in many sizes and are usually available with disposable or durable plastic frames. 3D glasses are available with active or passive lenses and use special color filters to create a three-dimensional view.

Three-dimensional glasses can be divided into two categories: the standard red and blue filter glasses and the more modern polarized glasses. Both glasses require special projection screens for viewing, but each is designed for a specific type of movie screen. Red and blue filter glasses were used in early 3D movies, while polarized glasses are designed for modern 3D movies.

Polarized 3D computer glasses have an active or passive shutter lens filter. This is how the glasses make the eyes see the moving colors or shapes on the movie screen. Active 3D glasses use battery power because the lens shutter is synchronized with the video game or movie to open and close with the action. Passive glasses simply filter out specific colors and are typically less expensive than active versions.

Most video game systems use the active polarized form of 3D computer glasses. These gaming accessories work on 3D video games and modern 3D TV or movie screens. Video game glasses are usually made with plastic frames and are powered by small batteries. Most video game glasses include flashy patterns or designs that match the video game console.

Older versions of passive red and blue 3D computer glasses are usually made of light red and blue foil and cardboard. These glasses are not intended for long term use, but are great for classic 3D movies. Modern 3D TVs and movie theaters use polarized glasses, which produce better picture quality than older 3D movies.

Several modern 3D computer glasses have a futuristic style and look. These goggles are more expensive than standard goggles, but give the player a custom look similar to motorcycle sunglasses. The glasses use small three-volt watch batteries, which can be purchased at most watch stores or retail stores.
The active polarized 3D glasses are available in wireless or wired versions. This cable receives signals from your TV, which changes the color filter on the lens as the action changes in the movie. Wireless glasses are more convenient and less bulky than wired versions.
