  • Publication number: 20220291520
    Abstract: Three dimensional (3D) glasses suited for wearers with varying facial geometries are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes a frame adapted to position spectrally filtering lenses at a particular distance from the eyes of the wearer. In a more particular embodiment, the 3D glasses include a means for adjusting the distance between the lenses and the eyes of the wearer. In another particular embodiment, the lenses include positive runout.

  • Publication number: 20190258070
    Abstract: Shaped glasses have curved surface lenses and spectrally complementary filters disposed on the curved surface lenses configured to compensate for wavelength shifts occurring due to viewing angles and other sources. The spectrally complementary filters include guard bands to prevent crosstalk between spectrally complementary portions of a 3D image viewed through the shaped glasses. In one embodiment, the spectrally complementary filters are disposed on the curved lenses with increasing layer thickness towards edges of the lenses. The projected complementary images may also be pre-shifted to compensate for subsequent wavelength shifts occurring while viewing the images.
