Glimpse into the future Sony’s Personal 3D Viewer is one cool gadget, but the weighty visor is far from perfect By Steve Tilley As any Star Trek: The Next Generation fan can tell you, blind U.S.S. Enterprise officer Geordi La Forge wore a hi-tech visor that allowed him to see all kinds of light and energy spectrums.

Okay, I don't know about all of you guys. But my 3D set-up is not dark or dim at all. And I'm also not losing any richness of color.

Any glasses solution is going to have to be darker surely, since it has to cut out an entire eyes worth of light.
