3D GLASSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZED VIEWING OF 3D VIDEO CONTENT
First Claim
1. A system adapted to assist a user with optimal viewing of 3D video content, the system comprising:
- a video content device; and
3D glasses adapted for stereoscopic viewing of 3D content on a two-dimensional display;
at least one of said video content device and said 3D glasses being adapted to determine an orientation of the 3D glasses; and
at least one of said video content device and said 3D glasses being adapted to notify the user of excessive tilt of the 3D glasses or adjust image disparity to compensate for tilt.

Abstract
3D glasses, 3D glasses systems, and related methods are disclosed for determining an orientation of the 3D glasses, and at least one of: indicating such to a user or adjusting disparity of the 3D content for optimizing a 3D video content viewing experience. The orientation of 3D glasses is determined by a tilt sensor or an infrared camera. A notification according to the orientation of the 3D glasses is provided to a user in the form of a visual indicator on a display, a vibration of the 3D glasses, or an audible sound. A video content device may be programmed to switch from a 3D presentation mode to a 2D presentation mode according to an orientation of the 3D glasses. Additionally, the system may be adapted to adjust image disparity to compensate for tilt.
