34、glyphs. instead of using colored lenses, the lenses are polarized, meaning they only let certain light through.by displaying one image that is polarized “up and down, another image that is polarized “left and right and having each lens only let one of the two types of light through, these glasses ca

36、two slightly different images displayed at the same time and filtering one to each eye, shutter glasses make each lens go dark and then transparent again at the same time with the images displayed on the screen. when the screen displays the image for the left eye, the right lens will go dark so that

37、 only the left eye can see it. then, when the image for the right eye is displayed, the opposite happens. this is why shutter glasses are called an “active 3 d technology.56. the role of 3 d glasses is to .a. ensure the separate images hit each eyeb. form a 3 d image in each eyec. prevent images fro
