3D Glasses Head to Market

I'd never thought about 3D glasses needing to be standardized, but apparently that's what the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is working on. For now, every TV manufacturer is making its own sets of glasses.

XpanD, the company that's been providing 3D glasses to movie theaters, sees this as a chance to get into the home market.

I hadn't heard of XpanD until yesterday, when David Chechelashvili, head of gaming and retail, spoke on a panel at the Connections conference, put on by analyst firm Parks Associates . The topic was 3DTV, of course.
