RealD introduces kid-sized 3D glasses ready for summer at the movies

RealD introduces kid-sized 3D glasses ready in time for Toy Story 3.

Just in time for summer movie season, RealD Inc. announced today that kid-sized RealD 3D glasses will be available nationwide in the USA and Canada beginning June 18th at theatres showing Disney PIXAR's "Toy Story 3." Sealed in individual packaging to ensure they are sanitary and quality assured, kid-sized RealD 3D glasses are smaller versions of standard RealD 3D cinema glasses and designed to fit children 8 years of age and under. Kid-sized RealD 3D glasses are already available in select international markets.

"Kid-sized RealD 3D glasses are made to the same high-quality standards as adult size RealD glasses with each individually packaged in sealed bags ensuring they are clean and fresh for every moviegoer."

"The little ones will be able to comfortably enjoy the great summer movies coming out in RealD 3D wearing glasses designed just for them," said Joseph Peixoto, President of Worldwide Cinema at RealD. "Kid-sized RealD 3D glasses are made to the same high-quality standards as adult size RealD glasses with each individually packaged in sealed bags ensuring they are clean and fresh for every moviegoer."

The one-size-fits-all idea really didn't work that well. In fact, I have a pretty big head when it comes to hats and glasses, but I find the regular RealD glasses to be rather big. On kids they look like goofy novelty glasses.

Now if only RealD would come out with a design that works for those who already wear glasses ...
