The TriOviz InfiColor Fit Over 3D Glasses allow you to experience 3D quality on ordinary 2D TVs. A technological breakthrough these glasses use some aspects of the passive 3D anaglyph technology of yesterday but with innovative filters. Wearers perceive natural colors with great viewing comfort.

Great build quality
Bought for a project I was working on. Great quality and fit well. I can not say how long they will last because I found that I could not use them for long because they would give me a headache but that is not the glasses fault.

Nice 3D for any TV (with a movie or game that supports it)
This is pretty stellar way to get some nice 3D out a normal HDTV. I used these glasses to play through the latter half of Batman: Arkham City, because I noticed the support for InfiniColor 3D in the options. Being a bit of a 3D fan( I love seeing the subtle effect in many movies, as well as the the no-glasses-required 3D on my 3DS) and seeing how cheap it was at this point I had to give it a shot.It really does make a difference! I don't know if it's due to the tech itself or clever programming on Rocksteady's part, but you get a nice sense of depth between you and the thugs that you beat down. With Bats being so close to the screen at all times, the way he pops forward is always apparent(though not distracting) and doing aerial dive bombs while gliding gives a cool sense of vertigo that you wouldn't have otherwise. Yes, it is a Purple/Green set and you will have to wait a few seconds to get used to it, but you'd be surprised how quickly you do (the weirder part is when you take them off after a long session and need maybe a minute to shake that feeling of seeing purple and green away!). If all the games that support it look this neat, I will gladly play them the whole way through like this.It is a bit disheartening that only a small number of games have support for these glasses. It seems that this tech was adopted for few games/movies back in 2011/2012 when the post-Avatar-fueled 3D scene was hot, and then promptly forgotten. At the asking price of 30 bucks for what seemed like just a gussied up Red/Blue set, I can't really blame folks for ignoring it. But for less than 10? Totally great novelty to have around. I did try to extend my value and make some other games work with 3D PC programs like TriDef3D, but even when in Purple/Green mode I could only get it to KIND OF work, so unfortunately it seems like these glasses will not be working with games that didn't throw the support in there to start with. But for the games that do(based on my playing of Arkham City and the few videos I found demonstrating Enslaved: Journey to the West and Assassin's Creed 3) it's great fun.So yeah, I really enjoyed my time with these. They are a great step above the old Red/Blue sets and scratch that passive 3D itch for those that don't want to go and buy a whole new TV for the experience. You can't expect any future games to support this, but there's a few well-received games that do. And for the $7 it's listed for here on Amazon, it's worth it for a casual 3D fan. Snap it up and enjoy the eye candy.

Good, but not must buy
Bought the glasses for Batman: Arkham City for my LCD HDTV. The construction of these glasses feel solid and are of a higher quality than what I was expecting. I wear glasses, and these 3D glasses fit comfortably over my glasses. The 3D is adequate. The main limitation is how much the game uses the 3D effects as its more visible/noticeable in some areas than others. People that use the 3D settings will need to increase the brightest of the screen to compensate for the tinting of the 3D lenses.If you're interested in 3D for Unreal Engine video games, the glasses are a must buy (because they're the only ones available). However, don't expect a dramatic change in the games visuals. Games are made for 2D televisions and while games can be ported to 3D displays, the games were not made with 3D in mind.

Complete Waste of Money
These glasses do not work at all. All they do is distort the color and give you a head ache. I am not one of those people who bash on 3d. I enjoy it in the movie theater. These just don't work. The positive reviews on here had me fooled. They must be people who work for this company. Not only do they not work, you can't send them back. They have a 7 day return policy. The free shipping they offer is so slow that buy the time you get the glasses they will not take them back. I also had a few other people try them out to see if it was just me. They do not work for anyone who has tried them. Same your money. You are better of with the old paper 3d glasses.

High-Quality Glasses, Work Well
I was surprise by the quality of these glasses. I was expecting them to be quite flimsy at this price, but these are comparable to any plastic sunglasses I've bought in the $30-50 range. The lenses are crystal clear with no noticeable optical distortion. The glasses come in a drawstring pouch to protect them from scratches. These are quite excellent for the price.There is some disagreement as to whether anaglyph 3D glasses actually work. It works quite well for me, but I think it depends on the individual, the image quality and settings of the television, the distance from the television, the surrounding light, and the content being viewed.Everyone's eyes are not created equal, and everyone does not process visual information the same way. It's similar to the stereograms that were popular a couple of decades ago. Some people can see them and some people can't. Some people have one eye that is significantly dominant, so they may have a more difficult time seeing the effect. I find that the 3D doesn't work as well for me in the evenings when my eyes are tired.The color adjustments must be set correctly on the television. These glasses are designed to filter out certain ranges of color. If the television is not set up correctly, then it is not producing the correct image so the effect will not be optimal. TV manufacturers are notorious for creating default settings that make the colors really "pop" out. This makes them look really good in the store under fluorescent lights so that people will buy them. Some televisions actually have a "Store" or "Demo" mode that is enabled by default. These settings will not produce the best 3D effect. You may get better performance if you use Digital Video Essentials or some other calibration DVD or Blu-ray to set up your TV.You also don't want to sit too close to the TV. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, all 3D images are produced from two separate images and with two-color 3D processes it is always possible to see some doubling. The further away you are from the image, the closer together the distinct images will appear and the less noticeable the doubling. Imagine two toothpicks side by side. Up close you can see both toothpicks, but from across the room it might be harder to tell that there is more than one. The second reason not to sit too close to the television is that the double images may be sufficiently far apart that the stereoscopic depth is too great. This can produce an unnatural effect or can ruin it entirely. You've probably seen this at the movies when a 3D flick is really gimmicky and objects jump out so far that you go cross-eyed.The surrounding light and the content will also determine how well the 3D effects are perceived. Remember that these glasses are filters, so they will reduce the amount of light that reaches the eyes. This implies that you would want to increase the light coming from the TV and reduce the light in the room. However, because there will be colors in both the left and right image that are not entirely filtered out, there will be some visible ghosting. Too much light will make the ghosting worse. The intent, then, should be to adjust the ambient light (the light in the room) to produce the best 3D effect for the content. The colors in the image will also play an important role in the quality of the effect. White backgrounds cause more ghosting while browns and earth tones work very well. And some movie and game makers just do a better job than others.It's not going to be perfect, so don't expect the same effect as a modern 3D theatrical movie. But it works much better than the old red-blue glasses from a few decades ago, and it doesn't cause as much eyestrain as shutter glasses.
