Universal 3D Glasses For Hanover Launch

A new generation of hybrid/universal 3D glasses is about to come blinking into the glare of publicity.
For the first time in Europe, at the CeBIT conference in Hanover, Germany March 1 5, Volfoni will unveil ActivEyes - a new generation of intelligent 3D glasses, revolutionizing the way to view 3D content.
ActivEyes are the first truly universal glasses eliminating the choice between active and passive glasses. Developed by Volfoni, this hybrid active/passive technology allows users to view 3D content on any platform. The glasses work with all brands of active 3D screens (TVs and PCs), as well as with all passive 3D screens (commonly used in movie theatres).
"Over the past two years, we have been working on developing this technology. We didn't want to make any compromises.
"We have listened to the consumer's demand for lightweight, universal glasses with a long battery life," said Thierry Henkinet, President of Volfoni, emphasizing the company's goals.
He said that the ActivEyes system is composed of the glasses and a mini electronic 'box,' which can be attached to clothing.
Aware of the economic challenges of 3D, Volfoni also offers a unique technology, which allows the box to be used with a hub, which can connect to several pairs of glasses at one time.
This is an advantage for family or friends who want to watch 3D content together.
"We are actually testing ActivEyes glasses with professionals. We are listening to each and every critique before launching the glasses to the general public.
"Their quality and lightness have already captivated many 3D post-production studios," noted Bernard Mendiburu, Director of Innovation at Volfoni, who said they are the first glasses in the world to offer both active and passive technology and are one of the most lightweight glasses on the market, weighing in at 1.02 oz (29 g).
They are also compatible with all 3D screens, including TV and PC and are usable as sunglasses (standard class 2 4 optical protection) as they use top-of-the-line liquid crystal technology.
Volfoni is a leading 3D solutions rental and sales business in France.
With offices in Paris, Munich, Valencia, Los Angeles and Hong Kong, as well as a network of local representatives in several other countries, Volfoni has high-flexibility in terms of logistics, and provides the best 3D experience available on the market.
