When you watch 3D movies in the theater, the glasses are heavy and uncomfortable. Dolby has a new solution and has just announced this newer and lighter pair of 3D glasses. They will also come with anti-theft measures and an RFID tag for inventory control purposes.

Theater owners will also be happy to know that the thinner lenses can be washed and reused hundreds of times. They are $12 each and are cheaper when purchased in bulk. Though they won’t improve the quality of a movie script or lower ticket prices.

Panasonic has unveiled its new Wireless Home Theater System, the SC-ZT1, which is specially designed to do away with the trouble of speaker cables. The system sends uncompressed audio data over a wireless 2.4-GHz frequency band to ensure high-quality sound.

The SC-ZT1 will give you a lifelike virtual Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD 7.1 channel surround sound from its four ultra slim antenna looking speakers, which come with an integrated subwoofer for generating sounds from the low-frequency range. You can purchase the Panasonic SC-ZT1 when it is released in Spring 2009.

The G35 Headset features 7.1 surround sound with built in Dolby technology that is designed to output amazingly detailed gaming sounds. It also feature 6 built in voice changing options, so you can have some fun pretending that you’re Darth Vader while gaming.

Some of the specs: 7.1 surround sound powered by Dolby technology delivers a detailed soundfield.

On-ear audio controls deliver quick access for volume, mic mute and surround sound adjustments. Adjustable, noise-canceling microphone focuses on your voice and not background noise. Full-speed, all-digital USB connection for clean, clear audio. Three swappable headband pads let you choose the one that best fits your head: thin, thick and contoured designs.
