For a spectacle wearer, 3-D movies are a no-go zone. Even if the filthy, crappy 3-D glasses provided by the local movie-house were instead clean and awesome, they'd still be impossible to wear over your own specs. LG has come to the rescue with an updated version of that 1970s style staple -- clip-on, flip-up shades.
The passive glasses use even more 1970s tech to do their work. Polarized lenses let differently polarized light into the left and right eyes. This passive 3-D was found in a recent study to be superior to active 3-D, in televisions at least.
The best thing about these glasses, apart from the fact that wearing them will inspire you to grow a mustache, is the price: At $20, you might just want to buy them and use them as actual clip-on sunglasses.
