The 3D boom just gets weirder and weirder: First it was 3D sunglasses; now, even 3D contact lenses are set to enter production. Televisions.com writer Ulrich von Loehneysen is on the case.

February 5, 2010 — Soon, 3D glasses that double up as trendy sunglasses will hit the market, courtesy of manufacturer RealD. But until now, contact lenses that allowed 3D viewing had been something of a joke. Lo and behold, plans to that effect are now under way: Oliver Pasch, Sony’s Head of Digital Cinema Europe, mentioned this during a discussion with Patrick Schappert from German web portal Grobi.tv. When asked for further information, Pasch said he could only confirm that such products are in the pipeline.
