14 DAY TRIAL // As we've mentioned time and time again up until now, there's really no stopping the 3D trend in the near future, and for this reason, many companies are trying to get as much as possible of this extremely lucrative pie, whether we're talking about the manufacturers of 3D display solutions (LCDs, PDPs, projectors, monitors, etc.) or those involved in the development of various accessories for the previously mentioned category of products. And that's exactly the case with XPAND, who's just announced the fact that they've started shipping their Universal 3D Glasses, the first batch being available for US customers that do their shopping at Sears. While most 3D glasses are only compatible with a single brand of TV and cannot be used with other brands of TVs or computers, XPAND Universal 3D Glasses are compatible with any 3D-ready, infrared-emitting display. Moreover, in order to make them even more attractive for customers, XPAND points out that the glasses can also be used in any of the thousands of XPAND 3D-ready movie theaters around the globe. “With XPAND Universal 3D Glasses available at such a popular national retail outlet chain as Sears, the opportunity for enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite show, movie or video game in 3D is finally here,” said Maria Costeira, CEO of XPAND. “Rather than confusing the consumer with multiple brands of glasses, our Universal 3D Glasses will ease worry amongst those invested in 3D technology with the sole solution to 3D entertainment.” “This opportunity also gives Sears an exciting new product that satisfies a growing customer need, especially as interest in 3D TV will be stronger than ever this holiday season and into 2011,”concluded Mrs. Costeira. Unfortunately, XPAND's Universal 3D Glasses are far from being affordable, users having to cough up around 129.99 US dollars for a pair (nevertheless, given their huge level of versatility, we'd dare to say that this is a pretty good value).
