So how does it work?

Normally 3D has been done one of either two ways, the good old red and blue glasses that you used to wear at the movies. What the red and blue glasses do is filter out some of the color  so as to make both of your eyes focus on different layers of the film, and this creates the illusion of 3D. The more modern glasses that are used now are polarized, and instead of filtering out the colors the glasses filter for example, the left glass will filter out everything but vertical light waves, and the right everything but the horizontal light waves making you focus on the two layers of the film.

However, what the 3D vision glasses use is not a brand new technology, but it is definitely better than the previous two ways. The glasses utilize rapid shutter lenses that shut off each eye rapidly there is a thin LCD coating of the lenses that either turn black or clear, and rapidly change every millisecond and syncs to the monitor being used. What this does is makes both of your eyes  focus at different times which creates a depth of field.

The technology can only be used on specific games some better than others a full list of the games can be found here

I personally can not wait to get my hands on a pair of these glasses, just imagine play Nazi Zombies in Call of Duty: World at War in 3D.
