The Real3d glasses are circularly polarized. Windshields and regular sun glasses...and LCD displays...and sunlight reflections...are linear polarized. So what you propose works with normal sunglasses but won't work with Real3d glasses..and its also why Real3d glasses make horrible sunglasses. What will actually happen if you are wearing Real3d glasses and you look through a polarized windshield..or even sunglasses...or even at an lcd watchface...is exactly what happened when Martin looked at his screen.. The color change is due dispersion effects associated with different frequencies of light in the circular polarization filters the Real3d glasses use. -jef tudza:

The windows should get darker and lighter as you do so. Look out the window at a bunch of parked cars on a sunny day and turn your head. The windows should get darker and lighter as you do so.
