Samsung is getting in on the designer 3D glasses lark with the Samsung Silhouette 3D glasses, a tie-up with Austrian design outfit Silhouette. It claims the specs are the lightest 3D glasses so far and has managed to cram all the electronics in the active shutter specs into compartments at the back, allegedly creating an ideal weight balance. Other features in the Samsung Silhouette 3D glasses include the ability to recharge wirelessly and auto-detect when 3D content is being sent to them allowing them to switch on only when needed to keep battery life preserved for viewing. The Samsung Silhouette 3D glasses will be on show at CES 2011 and we’ll be hunting them down as well as the no doubt vast array of 3D TVs that’ll be angling for a spot on our best LCD TV list.

Given that he’s the main behind Avatar, you might think James Cameron would be a huge fan of 3D TV technology – but he’s not, at least not in its current form. The director of Titanic, Aliens and The Terminator claims that 3D won’t find a place in the hearts of mainstream users until the glasses have been ditched. And that means five to ten years from now.
