It’s the Fourth of July, so let’s start out by wishing a very happy Independence Day to all the Americans in the audience, both at home and abroad. It is during this weekend that you may head out to watch some Hollywood blockbusters, but what if you’re not into the whole 3D thing.

This product could be just the ticket. What you see here is a set of 2D glasses. Yes, two dimensions. This isn’t just a gimmick either, because it really does have a functional purpose. If you don’t like 3D but the local multiplex is only showing the movie you want to see in 3D, you can bring these along.

Compatible with current movies being shown with RealD 3D technology, the 2D glasses effectively filter out the image that is supposed to be destined to your left eye. Instead, both eyes get the image that was intended for your right eye. The result is no 3D effect; you get the regular old flat 2D image instead.

Go against the grain without sticking out from the crowd. Check out these un-3D-ifying 2D glasses at Thinkgeek for a very reasonable $8.99 each.
