If you agree with Michael Bay (and Me) that 3-D is nothing more than a gimmick, or if you think it’s the next great evolution in film –  either way, 3D technology has permeated virtually every theater and more and more movies are being filmed in, or converted to 3-D.

That being said, the next dig into your wallet at the box office will be brought to you courtesy of Real D, in the form of 3 Dimensional designer eyewear.

At the 3D Entertainment Summit came an announcement of designer and prescription glasses with lenses compatible with Real D 3D.

While Real D hasn’t made a formal announcement, Real D topper Michael Lewis tipped the story after Fox Sports chairman David Hill said he thought great-looking glasses would change the picture for 3D.

“I have two teenaged girls, and they don’t want to go on dates looking like they’re going to do some spot welding,” Hill said.

Lewis responded that designer Real D glasses, including Gucci designs, will be available “in certain outlets” before “Avatar” opens in December. Prescription glasses are on the way some time later and there are also plans for toddler-sized glasses.

“That’s been one of the issues we’ve had with glasses, sizing wise, so we’ll be offering that as well.”
