Oakley Looks to Release Tron 3D Glasses

Tweet

It’s coming up a lot sooner than anyone might have expected–the remake of one of only a handful of science fiction titles Disney ever released, Tron, (dubbed Tron: Legacy) will be on its way to theaters in short order. But if you wanted to get your hands on a little something special beforehand, Oakley’s looking to offer a set of Tron-themed sunglasses with a difference–3D lenses.

This is not the first we’ve heard about Oakley’s 3D ambitions–we knew as far back as September that they were looking to offer 3D-capable sunglasses–but this might be the first time they’ve actually got a set ready for release. And they’ve got a special edge, too, as they look to appeal to those folks with smaller heads.

Basically, what Oakley did was take their Gascan frames, which they’ve had on hand for a long time running now, and put their new 3D lens technology in them. And after they did that, they then took advantage of the upcoming Tron remake’s–Tron: Legacy–release to throw in some blue Tron-style graphics, giving you a pair of Tron glasses that you can, specifically, wear to Tron and see in 3D. The Gascan frames, meanwhile, are sort of a wraparound style, so for those of you with smaller heads you may well want to know that they’ll likely fit better than you’d expect.

These are, not surprisingly, limited edition, with an included soft carrying bag that you can use to polish the glasses too. If you want a set of these, you can get them for $150 a pair, and they’re available right now. If the thought of a set of movie-themed sunglasses that also serve as 3D glasses appeals to you, and you’d like to wear a pair out to catch Tron: Legacy in theaters, then you’d better get to ordering a set.
