RealD: The New 3D

The glasses them selves are Disposable polarized 3D glasses made to work with the new 3D system manufactured by RealD and Masterimage.

3d movies as most people know them use Anaglyph 3d were two layered colored images are show and viewed though two different colourd lenses. The new version i only just understand so im giving you the WIKI version of the expenation:

"Polarization filters
In stereoscopy, two forms of polarization filters are used: linearly polarized glasses and circularly polarized glasses.
With linear polarization, in order to present a stereoscopic motion picture, two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen through orthogonal (at 90 degree angles of each other) polarizing filters. A silver screen surface is required to preserve the polarization and compensate for light loss (since one eye views one frame while the other eye sees nothing). The projectors can receive their outputs from a computer with a dual-head graphics card. The viewer wears low-cost eyeglasses which also contain a pair of orthogonal polarizing filters. As each filter only passes light which is similarly polarized and blocks the orthogonally polarized light, each eye only sees one of the images, and the effect is achieved. Linearly polarized glasses require the viewer to keep his head level, as tilting of the viewing filters will cause the images of the left and right channels to bleed over to the opposite channel. This is generally not a problem as viewers learn very quickly not to tilt their heads. In addition, since no head tracking is involved, several people can view the stereoscopic images at the same time.
In using circular polarization, two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen through circular polarizing filters of opposite handedness."

Reald's statement:

"RealD is the global leader in 3D technology, leveraging 30 years of expertise to create the most stunningly realistic and enjoyable digital 3D experience in theaters worldwide, cutting-edge visualization tools for professionals, and technology for tomorrow's 3D TVs and other display screens today.

Wherever visual media is delivered, RealD has a solution to make the experience more lifelike, immersive and engaging.

The impact of digital 3D on today's moviemaking has been compared to the introduction of color film when there was only black and white. To make this a reality, RealD pioneered the first wide commercial deployment of stereoscopic projection systems for digital cinema and works with partners worldwide to create the most powerful 3D experience audiences have ever seen."

I am off to see Monsters vs aliens in the new 3D this afternoon to judge for myself how good it is. i will blog about the 3D and the film later.
