# Designer 3D Shades Fashionable 3D Glasses are the Stylish Way to Watch 3D Films By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-09-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-3d-glasses References: [cdfreaks](http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/20172-designer-3d-glasses-in-the-works.html) & [geeksugar](http://www.geeksugar.com/5096248) Did you ever think 3D movies would be so popular as to warrant designer 3D glasses? At the recent 3D Entertainment Summit, an announcement was made that designer and [prescription glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prescription-on-demand) with lenses compatible with Real D 3D were in the works. As unnecessary as designer 3D glasses ([Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-visions) designs will be one of them) may seem, more aesthetically and physically appealing 3D spectacles make sense. The typical 3D glasses are awkwardly big, sometimes painfully uncomfortable, and awfully unattractive—three strikes that would change anyone’s decision on whether or not to see a 3D movie. I mean, no one wants to look like a goggled-up lab technician on a hot date. Toddler-sized glasses are in the making as well. Apparently, it has been one of the issues Real D has had with glasses, “sizing wise” (no, really?). No word, however, on whether toddlers get the same chic designer 3D glasses as their parents. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Designer 3D Glasses:** Companies can capitalize on creating designer and prescription glasses for 3D movies that are more attractive and comfortable than standard glasses. - **Improved Comfort:** Opportunities exist to create glasses that provide better sizing and comfort to users, making 3D movies a more enjoyable experience. - **Trendy Toddler Glasses:** Creating smaller, stylish designer 3D glasses for children can provide an opportunity to tap into the children's market for 3D movies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Eyewear:** Companies in the eyewear industry have the opportunity to create designer and prescription 3D glasses that maximize aesthetic appeal and comfort. - **Movie Theater:** The movie theater industry can capitalize on offering designer 3D glasses to its patrons, enhancing the viewing experience and potentially increasing ticket sales. - **Children's Products:** Companies in the children's products industry can capitalize on creating stylish 3D glasses sized for toddlers that cater to a new market of 3D moviegoers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning 3D-Printed Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-sunglasses1.md) - [3D-Printed Honeycomb-Style Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-glasses-frames.md) - [Haute Hinge-Free Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangled-eyewear.md) - [3D Designer Headset Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-eye-ar-glasses.md) - [Anime-Inspired Glasses Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animeinspired-glasses.md) - [Versatile Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery.md) - [Futuristic Eyewear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futuristic-eyewear1.md) - [Custom 3D-Printed Glasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-3dprinted-glasses-frames.md) - [Adaptive Reading Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32n-sunglasses-by-deep-optics.md)
