CEA looks to develop standard for active shutter 3D glasses

CEA kicks off process to standardize active 3D glasses [EngadgetHD]

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is requesting that manufacturers adopt a standard interface for active 3D glasses, allowing glasses from one manufacturer to work on the televisions made by a different company. In order to develop concensus, CEA has issued a RFP for proposals on a standard IR sync interface and is requesting that member companies join the 3D Technologies Working Group that will work through the issues surrounding glasses interoperability.

Active shutter glasses have been one of larger barriers to widespread adoption of 3DTV due to their expense and the fact that they are manufacturer-specific.

The CEA is looking for responses to its RFP by the end of this month, indicating that they plan to develop a set of standards quickly.
