Will passive 3D glasses work with an 'active' system

elmicko · 2010-12-11 18:27:43

I'm looking at getting the Optoma 3D-XL box to sit alongside my Optoma HD66 projector bought in the US (it's the HD67 in UK). The 'active' 3D glasses that come with this are very expensive so I was wondering if anyone knows if standard passive glasses that you get in the cinema will work with such a system or does it have…

Yeah, active and passive glasses can't be interchanged.

Thanks for the answer. I think that rules out getting the box as there will be five of us using it and the glasses are too expensive.
