Question about 3D Vision 2 Wireless Glasses
I am concerned about wireless being harmful in a device that is in contact with the body. I wanted to know why is wireless used for this device, i do not know much about 3d glasses just that some are passive and other active but no clue why wireless is needed. I wanted to know if it needs to have wireless enabled to play games and watch movies with it

Yes, if you use Nvidia's 3D "active" glasses, they require an RF signal for communication between the emitter and glasses. They also have a small battery and electronics in the earpieces and lenses. I wouldn't worry about it, Nvidia will kill you with stress from their drivers long before their glasses do. What you should be more concerned with are free radicals, they are killing you! pew pew pew EDIT: Nvidia's FAQ has a few warnings on this page, pretty scary https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2555/kw/emitter

But that's only for the Pro glasses. So anybody doing professional 3D will be exposed to RF and the stress of their job. The 3D Vision 2 glasses use infra-red. Still radiation though, like the sun. Wireless is not a requirement, it's just more convenient to not be tethered. NVidia used to make wired glasses as well, not sure if they are still available.

Thanks for correcting that bo3b. He's right, the consumer glasses do use an IR signal. Which I knew, sorry for the mistake. As far as Nvidia's warning, no one here has ever posted any weird happenings with their glasses, other than battery failure after 3-5 years, provided they were charged now and then. I can say that no portion of my glasses have ever felt warm to the touch, either while charging or using them. They have functioned flawlessly for years. But keep in mind that Nvidia's 3D Vision glasses only work with certified displays and DO NOT work with 3D HDTVs. you can see a pic of the battey at http://3dvision-blog.com/tag/3d-vision-battery-replacement/ List of certified displays, missing newer monitors from the last 2 years. http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-displays.html
