	A Display First, you will need a 3D-ready display–whether it is a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession.
	A Source Your display could also be ready for 3D playback, but you’ll still desire a device to read 3D content. It is a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system.
	3D Content 3D content–the true entertainment, in other words–could be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it is a 3D broadcast out of your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D online game.

You would need one pair per viewer, and they’re going to need to be compatible together with your display, whether they’re an analogous brand, or a couple of “universal” glasses designed to work across brands.
