When the Irvine Spectrum IMAX first opened, they gave you LCD shutter glasses that would alternately close over the left, then right eye, and were wirelessly, in-sync to the movie. These glasses also had built-in speakers, but they went unused with the 12,000 Watt JBL sound system. (I know that 12,000 watts seems small in an IMAX, but that is what they say in the initial orientation.)
Anyway, those lasted for one movie that I saw (an underseas documentary) never to be seen again in favor of the cheap, plastic, polarized glasses. Those LCD shutters provided a more spectacular 3-D interpretation, but were obviously heavier.
BTW, some of the new TOTL television sets (Mitsubishi for one), now makes their sets 3-D compatible, meaning that you only need the right player, software, and glasses to go with the set.
