If they want it for 3D marketing, why not put a 60 frame lenticular lens on it? It's not perfect, but in two directions it will look 3D without glasses.

Actually, I wonder if this could be something sunglasses manufacturers could capitalise on?
Polarised glasses are pretty much the norm now, why not flip one side 90°? Not sure if this would cause any other safety concerns though.

@Krammit: Good idea, but for those so obsessed with image they feel the compelled to wear sunglasses at night (yes these douche bags actually exist), it could pose a driving hazard. The ultra-bright headlights in cars shine through polarized lenses at a 30° angle to keep most of the light on the pavement and the periphery of the vehicle. Through vertical polarization, you see double and it hinders depth perception. Try it with a pair of cheap sunglasses turned on side. It takes a minute to see the effect, and after a while you'll get a headache.

The same idea was bounced around a few years ago that would put a polarized film on the lower part of the windshield, and use two laser projection systems to display a 3D HUD. The idea tanked, in part because of the costs, but also with concerns for driver safety.

I think most people could use them safely, but with the number of idiots on the road, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

@vlatro: A psych consultant to a clinic I worked for gave a presentation that included a discussion about people wearing sunglasses at inappropriate times and locations. In addition to the style-obsessed, the other class of individual wearing sunglasses in such circumstances are those manifesting a degree of clinical insanity--apparently a lot of nutjobs believe the eyes really are the window to the soul and that you will be able to read their minds if you can see their eyes.

Makes playing "avante garde fashionista" or "batshit insane street person" much more fun.
