While active 3D technology is the more commonly used one in home theater systems, you shouldn't have any problem using movie theater passive 3D glasses if you have a passive 3D projector or TV at home. You'd need to have an LCD or LED TV for the RealD 3D glasses to work at home.
Samsung's SSG-5150GB active shutter 3D glasses conform to the Full HD 3D standard and are compatible with a large selection of 3D-capable TVs. Unfortunately not all display manufacturers made the move to the Full HD 3D RF standard for active 3D glasses.
Active 3D uses battery-operated shutter glasses that do as their name describes: they rapidly shutter open and closed. This, in theory, means the information meant for your left eye is blocked from your right eye by a closed (opaque) shutter.
Z. 0-9. A VESA standard interface for synchronizing 3D glasses to a home theater projector via radio frequencies (RF). An emitter plugs into the 3D port and transmits signals that synchronize shutter glasses with the projected stereo frames.
No. Passive 3D glasses do not work with this projector. You will need active 3D glasses but not just any.

If you're on a budget and want to enjoy 3D content, passive polarized glasses are perfectly fine. These goggles are low-tech, affordable, and don't require a power source, making them compatible with most systems. If you have a projector or plasma screen TV, use active shutter glasses.
In short: a 3D Ready projector will accept and display at least one stereoscopic 3D transmission format. By transmission format, we mean the 3D signal format used to transmit from your source--a computer, set-top box, game console, or Blu-ray player--to your projector.
You cannot play 3D movies using a normal projector, because standard projectors do not have the hardware to pick manage 3D signals. This means that they will not be able to interpret 3D image data or project 3D images.
You do not need a special screen in order to view images from a typical 3D projector. While some features may help enhance the image, a special screen is not required when using a 3D projector. If you have a dual 3D projector system, however, you will likely need a polarized screen.
Select 3D Menu. Select 3D Display and set it to On. If a split image appears and the 3D menu options are not active, this may indicate that a 3D signal is no longer being broadcast. Make sure that the TV has been properly set up to view 3D programming and if the problem continues contact the service provider.
Viewing 3D Images
- Connect a 3D-compatible video device to the projector using a compatible HDMI cable.
- Turn on the video device, then turn on the projector.
- Begin playback from the video device.
- Press the 2D/3D button on the remote control to activate 3D mode, if necessary.
No, they will not work with that projector. The BenQ uses DLP-Link glasses, not RF glasses (these ones are RF/Bluetooth).
When you supply power to the 3D glasses, only connect the USB cable (supplied accessory) to a USB terminal on the TV. When you use the USB cable connecting the 3D glasses, careful not to get your feet caught in the USB cable.
1. Connect your BenQ projector to a Blu-Ray Player using a HDMI cable. 2. Press the “MENU” button on the projector, and then make sure 3D mode item is “Auto” (if 3D content can't be projected normally, please select 3D format of content manually).
What's available to watch? You need a 3D TV or video projector, a 3D-enabled Blu-ray Disc player, and some 3D-compatible Blu-ray discs. If you want to watch 3D content via HD cable or satellite, you need a 3D-compatible box and a subscription to 3D channels. You need to wear glasses to watch 3D.
