English term or phrase: Goofy Glasses Syndrome
***Goofy Glasses Syndrome ***

Both active-shutter and passive 3D glasses technology have stabilized. Passive 3D was big news last year at CES, and active-shutter the year before that. But it seems as if we'll see mostly incremental updates for the next year or so--lighter glasses, minor image processing features, and so on. We've seen a lot of hoopla over glasses-free 3D displays. That technology, though, is still best suited for small-screen devices such as the Nintendo 3DS and phones such as the HTC Evo 3D.

Chinese translation:傻瓜式眼镜综合症
Explanation:
这里的意思是讲3D眼镜的大、沉的弱点,并且相信今后会推出更轻巧的眼镜。
不建议译成“傻冒”,因为其一,这算是方言,不适合该文体;其二,略带蔑视。而这里的Goofy并不含蔑视,只是表达3D眼镜的大又不好看的特点而已。
建议:傻瓜式眼镜综合症

Explanation:
The medical term "syndrome" is just a metaphor for all kinds of glasses with different technology and function.
3D glasses look goofy and funny.

After understanding its meaning, you may translate the way you feel right and be creative ;).
3D眼镜花絮 is just an example for you.
