Specifically, the patent protects the invention of curved lenses configured to decode three-dimensional content.
Marchon3D, a division of Marchon Eyewear, one of the world’s largest manufacturers and distributors of quality eyewear, is using the patented M3D technology to roll out several lines of cutting-edge, passive 3D eyewear for use in movie theaters, 3D gaming consoles and passive 3D televisions and computers.
The patent is directed to the curved lenses as well as the assembled frames and also the method of manufacturing the curved lenses.
The lenses are inserted into designer and premium-style frames that offer superior fit, comfort and an unparalleled 3D viewing experience. M3D lenses also provide 100 percent UVA/UVB/UVC protection, allowing wearers to use Marchon3D eyewear as sunglasses. Additionally, Marchon3D eyewear is certified by RealD, the leading global licensor of 3D technologies, ensuring the best 3D viewing experience possible.
“This patent represents another milestone for Marchon3D,” said David Johnson, President of Marchon3D. “The grant of our first patent by the U.S. Patent Office is key not only to our portfolio of intellectual property, but assures main protection for both our existing and future innovations and products. The scope of protection afforded by this patent allows us to further establish ourselves as the industry leader in bringing passive 3D content to consumers.”
...Founded by Louis Viggio, a cycling industry veteran, the sunglasses were initially designed for cyclists. The disgrace bills itself as "the first ever line of enhanced vision sports eyewear for outdoor sports enthusiasts." The lightweight frames feature shatterproof and scratch-resistant plastic lenses and 100 percent UVA, UVB, UVC protection, which experts say is a key quality when buying sunglasses.
"If sunglasses offer—and deliver—100 percent UVA and UVB protection, that's the main thing you want; we ask for 99 to 100 percent UVA/UVB protection, because 100 percent may be too big a promise," says The Skin Cancer Foundation executive editor Mark Teich. "As for UVC protection, that's pretty much just a sales pitch, since UVC is almost entirely blocked out by the ozone layer—it really doesn't trouble us on earth. Wraparound styles with a comfortable, close fit and UV-protective side shields are ideal. Polarized lenses are preferred to eliminate glare, especially when driving. Above all else, fashion and cost do not guarantee control superiors protection; some cheap glasses can offer better protection than fancy-shmancy designer glasses."
