Sega's SMS Shutter Glasses. Wireless possible?

Somewhere within the last maybe 3 or 4 years, I read that you can use those 3d glasses that go with the new 3d TVs (and I guess the TVs are still available, but I haven't seen much promotion of them lately).

 

I'm hazy on whether the glasses are actually ready to plug and play, or if they need some kind of adapter or mod. I never followed up because I found a brand new SMS pair for $10. Even though they don't fit my head and a modern replacement would be, I'm sure, more comfortable, they were good enough for what I needed once I took the arms off and used an elastic band to hold them on.

I imagine you'd add another level of synching problems. Maybe you could add a pot to adjust its reaction time and get it back together though.

 

Don't modern 3d shutters work at 120-240 hz though? I assume the Sega ones ran at 60 to let each eye see the image 30 x a second, but maybe their adjustable natively. I'm sure you could build a controller for them, and since the Sega would need a wireless interface anyways, it may not even be needed to mod either device.
