January 7, 2010 12:15 AM
CARLSBAD, Calif.—Gunnar Optiks, a supplier of “digital performance eyewear,” is entering the hot new category of 3D eyewear. The company, based here, is launching a collection of 3D glasses enabled with components of its i-AMP lens technology.
“This is an exciting time for the field of 3D technology,” said Rob Aarnes, Gunnar's president. “There have been amazing advances in the delivery of the media, but we see a massive need for someone to address the optics of the eyewear. Currently, most eyewear used in 3D systems is either disposable or of low quality construction. With our expertise in optics and our commitment to the digital world, we see the opportunity as a natural fit."
Gunnar eyewear with i-AMP 3D will initially be available in Q2 of 2010 in configurations that are compatible with iZ3D gaming systems and RealD video. Prescription eyewear in both configurations will be available in Q3.
