RealD Unveils Kid-Sized 3D Glasses so Your Offspring can Look Dorky Too

It's bad enough having to don a pair of goofy looking spectacles just to enjoy 3D visuals, and if they don't fit right, it just rubs salt in the wound. Enter RealD, which today announced kid-sized 3D glasses so your children can look every bit as dorky as you do when watching Toy Story 3 or any number of other 3D movies in the theatrical pipeline.
"The little ones will be able to comfortably enjoy the great summer movies coming out in RealD 3D wearing glasses designed just for them," said Joseph Peixoto, President of Worldwide Cinema at RealD. "Kid-sized RealD 3D glasses are made to the same high-quality standards as adult size RealD glasses with each individually packaged in sealed bags ensuring they are clean and fresh for every moviegoer."
You can find Real3D 3D-equipped theaters by visiting www.RealD.com/theatrelocator, and then take a bit of solace knowing that this is all temporary. At some point -- and hopefully not all that far off in the future -- we'll look back at wearing special glasses for 3D visuals and laugh, much like we do already.

So, when are they going to make bigger glasses for people who have to wear prescription glasses to see?

Could someone, theoretically, make 3D Rx glasses? Lasik is not an option for me so, I have to wear glasses, even though I hate bike riding and such in the rain (thats Seattle for you..lol). At least then you could have stylish 3D glasses. I would think that as 3D TVs get more popular and mainstream, this idea will become more readily feasible.

And my lenses were quarter-inch thick in places! Granted it wasn't ideal, but I was surprised how well it worked. Normally I wore contact lenses, but apparently in low light actual glasses worked better for me. Six months ago I had LASIK and the only RealD I've seen was Toy Story 1 & 2 at a ghetto theatre (plus IMAX Avatar). Until they make a Coraline 2, I'm not going to be really impressed with 3D for awhile.
