Polaroid’s Eric Boinard, shares 3D technology expertise.
I recently gave a presentation for the General Optical Council to opticians about 3D glasses and technology. Optometrists and Opticians need to gain a certain amount of Continuing Education points as part of their training, so it was great to inspire them.
As part of my presentation I talked about the different methods of 3D technology, including circular polarized 3D technology which Polaroid’s premium 3D glasses use. This technology is designed to work with most cinemas, passive 3D televisions and PCs.
I also discussed the sales and marketing aspects of the 3D business which is so important to opticians, as understanding the technology behind the lens will enable them to provide their customers with the correct 3D glasses.

Quality is core to everything we stand for. That’s why we put our sunglasses through rigorous tests so you have perfect sunglasses every time.
Here’s what it involves:
- Energetic opening – a mechanical bar pushes down on the sunglass bridge to simulate over-energetic opening of the arms
- Lotions and potions – we test our sunglasses using day-to-day sun creams, cosmetics and hair products to ensure the materials don’t react
- Seaside durability – exposing sunglasses to salt water, supplied by OSIL, creates a typical beach environment
- Rigorous use – opening and closing the arms constantly for 7 hours, shows how the sunglasses will perform in a 2 year time span.
