The eight 3D images are already available on ABC's website. Ironically,
they are standard red-on-the-left, even though the shows (and therefore
presumably the glasses) are red-on-the-right. Dan Symmes, who was
responsible for the shows, adamantly insists that there is absolutely no
standard configuration and that his (red/right) is preferred by the vast
majority of viewers, but nonetheless he seems alone in a red/left universe.
I still suspect there is some legal protection motive lurking somewhere in
the background.
