3D - 2

How do people with glasses watch 3D movies?

I wear glasses and went to see a 3D movie at the cinema, only to find the little cardboard 3D glasses they were handing out, were far too small to fit over my glasses. I know of a number of people also put off seeing 3D movies because of this problem. With so many movies now coming out in 3D only, how are people who wear glasses supposed to view them, or are we not catered for? It seems unusual that the entertainment industry is providing a medium that excludes so many people.

1. put the 3d glasses on under your other glasses... the idea of the colors or lights slowing or being staggered left or right doesn't matter if you correct your vision before or after the effect...
2. if your glasses are not essential, like many people you can remove them. But most new 3d films have much better plastic 3d glasses which fit over existing glasses much better. The real D 3D glasses used by many cinemas are great.
3. Generally the special glasses issued to see 3D cinemas can be used along with the regular glasses.
4. We have the ability to judge depth just the same as you do, it just works differently for each person, now the glasses fit better over or under our normal glasses and the image is corrected for the 3D, two cameras for the film, corrected by the glasses. In the past it was a pain but the technology is better now.
5. I don't agree, the 3D glasses I got were extremely big, and could fit over any type of glasses...?
6. I have been to many 3d movies now at theaters in Kansas City, St Louis, and Springfield Missouri, and Fort Myers Florida. Each time I have been given 3d glasses with plastic frames that were big enough to fit over my prescription glasses. Each time I had no problem what so ever and forget the 3d glasses were even there. It was the theater you went to that is the problem.
