Has anyone tried these at the IMAX 3d movies? That's what I was looking at getting them for as the adults don't fit.

These will SORT of work with imax. Well they will but it won't be as sharp due to the difference between passive and active 3d. the older imax it may work, but I'd put a request in writing to the theater asking them to have kid-sized ones!

Yes, they work great! They work the exact same as the polarized 3d glasses you get at the imax 3d. At least at my iMax theater. Some have switched to shutter 3d glasses, which are different. Check first with your iMax theater to see which they use.

If the glasses don't work you can return them for a refund. These glasses are only for Imax movies. If you try them while watching a RealD movie they will not work. I'm sorry it's taken so long to answer this question. I didn't realize until today it had been asked.

Well, I did buy them for our 3 year old also, and she has enjoyed them so very much. They are only 2X so they cant see very far, but it does help some. I would check Discovery toys and see if they have a better version of a childs binocular, or yes a cheap real one.

Yes they actually fit adults better. They are a tad bit big for my younger students.

No, these glasses do not work in Dolby 3D theatres. It's a shame, because the proprietary Dolby glasses used in cinemas are tiny and horrible.

Don't understand the question. I would believe these glasses would fit most adults.They have tilt, and the sides extend.

I honestly can't remember how I got them to work. I think there is an option in the Optoma menus that state what mode of 3D to use. I happened to find DLP Link was one of the options, but this was after about an hour of messing around with it. To be completely honest I sent these glasses back because of the comfort issue. I ended up going with a model from Quantum. Much more comfortable, and I don't feel like I'm looking under them. Once you get the projector set up properly you won't need to mess with it anymore. 2D movies will play normally and it will automatically go back to DLP Link when it detects a 3D signal. After you get the projector into DLP Link mode, keep in mind there is an 'invert mode' some movies you may need to press the power button once or twice to flip between modes, otherwise the picture looks funny. I can't explain it, but you will probably recognize it when you see it. It's like instead of projecting out towards you it's projecting in away from you. Good luck getting it set up. Again it took me awhile to figure it out, but hopefully you will have better luck.

I have sat in them for long periods of time but not long enough to watch a movie. They are super comfy though. Maybe use an ottoman too if watching a movie. Hope that helps.

The responses below are correct -- they are a bit smaller, hard plastic, but suitable for adults. I used them as 'chances' for free concert tickets for a group called Voice Play.

Watched 3D movies on demand from Comcast Cable. Pop out is good depth is reasonable, but to really judge it, I think I would need to watch a movie I had previously seen in the movies in 3D like Avatar. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Sorry if this is only minimally helpful, but I can tell you that the pop out effects were as good as I remember in theaters in general, albeit on a much smaller screen.

based on the weight of the adult i would not recommend these. they are perfect for young children but not for adults.

They work for 3D movies or still pictures, including on the internet, but not on movies not taken in 3D. A regular movie (not 3D) is just a 2D movie and cannot be made 3D by wearing these glasses. I bought mine to view pictures of the surface of Mars taken in 3D. Most of these pictures come out well. Some, for some reason I don't understand, can't be resolved into good 3D. For the most part, they work. So, when they don't, I attribute it to the picture-taking, not the glasses.

Check all sellers. Amazon right now is $1298 (60"), a great price for this set IMO. The non-3D version is cheaper, of course.

No, I'm an adult and they fit so poorly my were useless They are way to wide with a very awkward noise piece.

YES. I am not into them, but they work great. Tested them on Avatar Blu Ray and it was pretty cool.

Hi. I honestly can't say if these would work at the theater with 3D movies because these glasses need to connect to a DLP source such as TV's and/or projectors. I think what the theaters use are "PASSIVE" meaning they don't use batteries (lenses are blue and red) while these glasses are "ACTIVE" (using batteries to control the lenses using refresh rate). So I'm not sure if these would work in the theaters. One thing for sure is that when it's in the "OFF" position, the lenses are clear. When you switch it in the "ON" position, the lenses turn dark. I hope I answered your questions.

Yes, they most definitely will work with the new IMAX movies. I love these glasses! I recently wore them to watch the new avengers movie.
