Gunnar 3D Eyewear Receives RealD Certification

Although 3D has managed to make a strong showing in the last year or so, most of the problems this technology confronts come from the glasses required to add a sense of depth to the scene, so Gunnar developed a series of special 3D eyewear, the company managing to get RealD certifications for a wide series of these models.

In order to meet RealD's specifications, Gunnar had to fine-tune the company's i-AMP3D lens technology that is used inside a wide series of the company's products.

As a result, Gunnar can now promise movie aficionados the same experience as that witnessed by 3D professionals and 3D content creators, the company's 3D lenses featuring optimized light transmission, enhanced true color vision and an improved contrast ratio.

Furthermore, Gunnar guarantees a comfortable fit to all of their users thanks to spring hinges and adjustable nose pads.

The RealD technology is used for projecting films in 3D, its customers including Fortune 500 companies, theme parks and education centers, RealD also entering an exclusive agreement with Sony to provide the technology necessary for displaying 3D movies in Sony's upcoming 4K projector line.

“At Gunnar, we concentrate on being first-to-market," said Joe Croft, Gunnar's co-founder.

"We were the first to offer an optically correct 3D lens, the first to introduce 3D premium eyewear in consumer electronics retail locations, and now we're the first to offer professional grade 3D eyewear to consumers.

It's exciting to see the tools used by professionals who work with 3D content on a daily basis finally making it to the marketplace and put in the hands of visually discerning consumers as well," concluded the company's rep.

According to Gunnar, RealD certified i-AMP3D glasses are available for purchase from a wide range of retailers, including Fry's Electronics and Amazon.com, prices ranging from $99 to $149, depending on the model.
