Now the latest advancement in technology has brought the world’s first 3D monitors (from iz3d.com) that will allow you to see the 3D objects come out of your monitor, cheaply with a pair of glasses. Though there are some noted limitations with this technology, the cheap passive polarized glasses work well with these special monitors from the iZ3D.
