Wear 3D Gaming Glasses instead of Awkward cardboard red and blue ones

3D, the technology of the 90’s with those god-awful glasses, and terrible colors that gave you headaches and that nostalgic feeling of playing the Virtual Boy (fun right?) is the new hip technology of now. With some quasi-popular movies and the OH SO popular Avatar, it only makes sense that the tech would come to the next biggest entertainment medium around, gaming.

Well at CES, GUNNAR Optiks, the maker of “gaming glasses” has announced that they will be making a line of non other than 3D gaming glasses. Cool?

GUNNAR says that their glasses will be distortion-free, will be high quality, and are eyewear.

“While typical 3D eyewear is stamped from a flat sheet of plastic, GUNNAR lenses are shaped, formed and cut to provide distortion free optics,” said Joe Croft, co-founder of GUNNAR and EVP of Research Design & Development. “For the amount of technology and effort that goes into the creation and delivery of the content, it is a shame that the weakest link in any 3D system today is the eyewear used to view the final product. We are proud to announce our success in creating lenses of the highest optical quality to give a premium visual experience.”

What do you guys think? Casual 3D glasses to plop on when you’re gaming? 3D isn’t super huge yet, but the glasses cost $89 to $149 a pair, I don’t know if it’s really worth the investment.
