RealD Inc. is a privately held company known for its RealD 3D system, which is used for projecting films in stereoscopic 3D using circularly polarized light. The company was founded in 2003 by Michael V. Lewis and Joshua Greer. The company was taken public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in July 2010, trading under the ticker RLD.
