Wireless glasses are nice, but some people might prefer the wired kind for 3D. NVIDIA's giving you guys that option with a set of wired glasses priced at $99.

It connects to your PC via USB a cable that's 10 feet long. You won't be worried about batteries and it looks like you won't need an IR emitter as well since everything can be synced via the USB cable. Now for those that sit in front of the computer, this might be a nice alternative as long as you don't mind the wire.

Another potential set of users are those who want to view 3D movies on flights or take the setup to LAN parties. It's certainly easier to just bring along a pair of these glasses than the glasses and the emitter for those that don't have the emitter built into the monitor.

You can look for the glasses in late June of this year should you want a pair.

NVIDIA Introduces New 3D Vision Wired Glasses for Only $99

New Wired Model Delivers Same Award-Wining 3D Vision Quality and Features with Sleek New Design, Making Full HD (1080p) 3D PC Gaming More Affordable

TAIPEI—May 30, 2011— COMPUTEX 2011—NVIDIA today announced a new addition to the NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ product family: NVIDIA 3D Vision wired glasses. The new glasses make the world’s best 3D PC experience more affordable at $99 (U.S. MSRP), and offer the same award-winning 3D quality and features of 3D Vision wireless glasses.

NVIDIA 3D Vision wired glasses, which feature NVIDIA’s advanced active-shutter technology, allow gamers and 3D enthusiasts to access the broadest selection of high-quality 3D content available today, including more than 525 full-HD 3D games, Blu-ray 3D movies, and streaming 3D video from YouTube and 3DVisionLive.com.

NVIDIA 3D Vision wired glasses include a 10-foot USB 2.0 cable for direct, easy connection to a 3D Vision PC or notebook. This makes it ideal for LAN gaming events and iCafe gaming centers, as it does not require batteries and the cable can easily be secured to a PC with an optional computer lock to minimize theft.

“3D Vision provides gamers and enthusiasts with the world’s largest ecosystem of 3D products and features,” said Phil Eisler, general manager of 3D Vision at NVIDIA. “3D fans have been waiting for more affordable glasses, and we’re expecting our new 3D Vision wired glasses to hit the sweet spot for them.”
