January 05, 2011

Patrick Miller loves the idea of three-dimensional images jumping out of his living room TV, wowing his family and friends.

The glasses are nerdy, expensive and uncomfortable, since they use "active shutters" to toggle images between your eyes.

"It's been an epic failure to date," said Kurt Scherf, principal analyst at Parks Associates.
