Your discomfort is probably inherent to any stereoscopic projection that's really on a flat surface; this Slate article from April discusses the the issues:
"The Problem With 3-D: It hurts your eyes. Always has, always will."
If "designer" 3D glasses catch on, I'll eat a shoe.
"Ms. Costeira of XpanD thinks personalized designs that can be used with 3-D HDTVs and video games could turn into something big. “Stylish, thin and light, 3-D glasses will become your new iPod,” she said." was particularly laugh-worthy.
I think it's possible. Instead of thinking that Ms. Costeira makes the new iPod, let's assume Apple makes the new iPod. It just looks like normal sunglasses, except that it's a full video iPod and by default the back of the lenses are glowing Apple logos. Using it to view 3D TV is not the main use, watching 3D internet on the lenses is the main use. I give it 5 years.
All of them absolutely suck IMHO. You end up with kids who get bored tired and irritated, removing the glasses and squinting at the screen to try and make out what's going on.
The move toward 3D is a great shame. I seriously don't think it actually adds anything. I've seen a few movies in 3D, and after the initial "haha cool" moment, you forgot it was in 3D (Apart from being a dimmer, more irritating headache inducing picture).
Conspiracy theory: It's to combat people camcordering movies in cinemas?

I think you meant nauseated.
nauseous -> nauseated
poisonous -> poisoned
