3D from a television works differently. Thats why you have to have a TV that has at least a 120Mhz refresh rate. The glasses are actually LCD and they shutter the provide the 3D effect. They shutter so fast that your eyes cant see it, but you get the 3D effect. Thats why they need batteries.

3D in movie theaters is provided by polarized light, which televisions cant produce. Thats why you get polarized 3D glasses that look like sunglasses. No batteries required.
