2D glasses

If you have four minutes, PLEASE just watch the video, it will make explaining this post much easier.



Okay then. If you can't watch the video because YouTube is being blocked, here's what you need to know:

1.) About 10% of Americans experience some kind of discomfort, whether it's a headache or just feeling ill, while watching 3D movies. That's 30,000,000 people.
2.) Everything is in 3D now. Movies, that is. Well, and reality. But that usually doesn't give people headaches.
3.) Hank Green, whose wife Katherine has trouble with 3D movies that's been keeping her from going to movies even though they usually go and see everything that comes out, had this idea after they saw Tron--why not ask someone who makes 3D glasses to make the lenses the same, rather than different, creating what is essentially 2D glasses, i.e., glasses that make 3D movies look flat but still crisp and clear?
4.) So he did it, and he ordered five thousand, and now you can buy them for eight dollars (eleven with shipping).

There is, of course, a little more science to this. This can be found here. You can buy the glasses here. The full story, if you can't view the video, is here.

The real question, though, is this:
Would you guys like to learn more about this whole thing, and Hank and vlogbrothers, as this would be an excellent opportunity for a blog + interview?
