Frequently Asked Questions my girlfriend friend / husband / mom has a condition. Will 2D Glasses help them? If your friend or loved one can enjoy a regular movie, they can enjoy a 3D movie with 2D glasses. Will your 2D Glasses work with my home 3D television? Maybe. If your television uses "passive 3D" technology then they will work. Basically, if your 3D glasses have batteries and cost lots of money, our 2D glasses won't work for your 3D television. Do 2D Glasses work at IMAX theaters? Alas, no. IMAX uses a different technology than normal movie theaters so 2D-Glasses will not work at an IMAX theater, however over 85% of the 3D movies shown are viewed with RealD technology, which the 2D glasses are perfect for. How do 2D Glasses work? 2D Glasses block the same image with both lenses, so each eye gets the same picture resulting in a 2D image and an elimination of eyeball strain.
