I’m not sure what it is but I always seem to love Sony products for the most part. Except for the PlayStation, which I’ve always kept at the bottom of my list for preferred home gaming consoles, I’d pick Sony products first just about every time.
I’d say the biggest factor of why Sony products seem to always catch my eye is because they always seem to be eye-catching. I would say Sony is the one technology brand that comes closest to having the Apple "cool factor" than any other.
The latest thing to catch my eye were these 3D home glasses for use with the Sony BRAVIA HDTV that delivers full 1080p high-quality, 3-D imagery to your living room. The BRAVIA TV works with the active shutter glasses shown to bring the illusion of 3D images to the home user.
Sony’s approach to 3D involves alternately displaying images for the left eye and right eye at a high frame rate. When viewed through the included active shutter glasses, the on-screen image is precisely synchronized and delivered with the full HD image intact, for an optimum 3D viewing experience.
I think with glasses that look more like these and not goggles of some sort, this could take off a little bit more than I had originally expected.
