Oakley has introduced 3D glasses with official RealD certification. A leader in 3D cinema, RealD is the world’s most commonly used 3D cinema technology. Oakley’s RealD certified glasses are designed to optimize the 3D viewing experience for audiences worldwide.

Oakley CEO Colin Baden says
“RealD certification is another step toward our objective of aligning the entire industry to the best technologies possible for 3D glasses, and Oakley will provide those technologies,” "Oakley has no intention of being just another player in the realm of 3D glasses. We will lead the industry as the hallmark of innovation and our icon will be synonymous with leading edge performance.”

With the recent anouncements by top glasses manufacturers there seem to be few excuses remaining to the holdouts, who dislike wearing "those dorky 3D glasses"

“Oakley is an iconic brand known worldwide for delivering innovative eyewear,” said Joseph Peixoto, President of Worldwide Cinema at RealD. “This certification validates that Oakley eyewear meets RealD’s high standards of quality and are compatible with RealD 3D-equipped theatres around the world, giving moviegoers the option of seeing their next RealD 3D film in style and comfort uniquely Oakley.”

Baden added, “We are honored to be granted certification from the world leader and leading global licensor of stereoscopic technologies. RealD is defining the cutting edge of 3D motion picture entertainment, and Oakley 3D lenses will deliver an unrivaled experience in RealD cinemas. We look forward to expanding our roster of products and partnerships as Oakley sets the standard for optical performance in 3D”.

To engineer its uniquely designed 3D glasses, Oakley combined its proprietary frame innovations and lens technologies to maximize the 3D experience. Oakley plans to offer not just one, but a range of 3D glasses. Premium editions, including the "Oakley 3D Gascan", will take advantage of the company’s new HDO-3D technology, making them the first optically correct 3D glasses ever made.

RealD 3D technology delivers a realistic and fully immersive entertainment experience in motion picture theatres around the world.  The company's extensive portfolio enables a premium 3D viewing experience in the cinema, the home and elsewhere. In addition to 3D cinema and consumer electronics, RealD technologies have also been used for applications such as piloting the Mars Rover.

Unlike shutter-based 3D systems, Oakley's 3D glasses hold no batteries and require no recharging. To allow consumers to use the same glasses for home and cinema 3D entertainment, Oakley is forging partnerships with home 3D system manufacturers that utilize passive polarization.

Premium designs in the Oakley 3D glasses line will maximize visual clarity and fidelity by virtually eliminating refraction, optical astigmatism and distortion caused by prismatic power. These deficiencies undermine the performance of other 3D glasses.

Oakley 3D glasses provide truer alignment of 3D images by virtually eliminating ghosting between the images that reach each eye from one moment to the next. In addition, the company’s 3D glasses are the first ever made with high-wrap curvature. This extends the wearer’s field of vision and virtually eliminates glare and reflections.

Oakley 3D lenses offer an uncompromising degree of color fidelity, allowing the wearer to see what the director had in mind for every shot. The frames are made of durable yet lightweight materials, and they offer the comfort of a proprietary Three-Point Fit. This exclusive Oakley innovation holds the lenses in precise alignment while eliminating pressure points.

In other words individuals prone to discomfort can now wear 3D glasses for extended periods without complaining.
