1. An apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit of a first active 3D eyewear device for receiving a synchronization signal from an external device, wherein the synchronization signal controls left eye and right eye view operations of active 3D eyewear devices;
the first active 3D eyewear device for alternatively performing a left eye view operation and a right eye view operation in response to the synchronization signal; and
a transmitting unit of the first active 3D eyewear device electrically connected to the receiving unit of the first active eyewear device for transmitting the synchronization signal received by the receiving unit of the first active 3D eyewear device to a second active 3D eyewear device, wherein the second active 3D eyewear device cannot receive the synchronization signal from the external device.

Abstract
The invention provides an eyewear device for transmitting a signal and a communication method thereof. The eyewear device comprises a receiving unit, a shutter and a transmitting unit. For example, the receiving unit is capable of receiving a synchronization signal, and the shutter performs an operation in response to the synchronization signal. Meanwhile, the transmitting unit transmits the synchronization signal to another eyewear device. By this way, each eyewear device is capable of receiving the synchronization signal, and re-transmits the synchronization signal to another eyewear device.
