Looks promising. So you sell these yourself?

[@josh_3D]

@@Naundobyes, limited quantity. I was so impressed that I wanted to at least make it available to viewers of my channel.

[@Naundob]

@@josh_3D Great, makes sense. So I guess you stumbled upon these in a tech shop in Japan? Is this a Japanese product or Chinese? I’m wondering what’s the origin, who manufactures these. I find nothing about this on the web. What’s the app called? The calibration process is particularly interesting and I wonder if Lumepad 2 uses a similar process to calibrate its displays. So many questions 😊

This is some Black Magic level engineering. I don't even see how this could be possible.

Congratulations Josh! I felt that way with the premier of the Lume Pad, now very happy with LP2. I'll be paying close attention to this.

[@JohnChu]

HOLY COW!

[@seein6]

This is a very impressive and exciting development that portends a whole new means to 3D viewing. I just sent you an email to get one of these for my iPhone 15Pro.

[@philipjones6183]

A Japanese company, NOVIUS, has 2D to 3D technology that seems to have the same "majic" as the one you have. I was wondering if they have a connection. All very interesting stuff.8

[@J_Shepz]

Wow. I had no idea these were even a thing. Very excited to try it now that I've ordered one for myself. I have a LP2 but that just made me want a 3D phone even more but this product seems to give me us the best of both worlds, 3D & iOS. As some others in the comments have said, this product but for an iPad would be mind blowing, hope it can scale up to that size. The need for & process of the calibration process is super interesting too

[@josh_3D]

Photos taken with the Lume Pad 2 photos look stunning on the iPhone with this so make sure to get a bunch of your favorite SBS photos ready on your iPhone to view! I really hope this tech helps 3D spread much more quickly. From what I’ve experienced so far I think it has a really good chance

[@sergioin3D]

I’ve heard of stuff like this, it’s a parallax screen protector

[@josh_3D]

On another level. No one had anything good to say about ones I heard of before. But this has me pulling out my iPhone 20 times a day just to make sure it still works as well as it seems to. I’m still in disbelief after 2 weeks 😂

[@sergioin3D]

@@josh_3D I never tried the ones I heard because it was a case you had to move from protecting the phone to protecting the screen, I wish you would upload sbs 3D video you have so many cameras

[@cybereality]

No, this is not a parallax barrier. I've made them before. First, parallax barriers only work in one orientation (usually landscape). They also block half the pixels (to each eye) even in 2D, which makes them useless if not viewing 3D content. This is something entirely new.

[@MisterFly24]

Is this available on s24 ultra? And is it possible to have the homescreen in 3d?

[@josh_3D]

It isn’t available on any android smartphones yet, but if there is enough demand it could come to popular android devices too (I’ve got my fingers crossed). The Home Screen isn’t in 3D and I don’t think it can be changed on regular iPhone devices, but any app could be made into 3D if the developer was interested.

[@TomsRCScalers]

Mind thrilling! I knew about it (and ordered it as well😉) but honestly didn't believe it would work so good. Now I'm looking even more forward to apply this film to my iPhone 15 Pro Max soon. Question: the 3D seems only work with the dedicated app, right? And the files must be stored on the camera roll? How about playing full length 3D SBS movies in common formats like x.264 mkv from a USB-C connected SSD on the iPhone 15 Pro? 😜🎥

[@josh_3D]

I think you will love the 3D quality, but you are right for now 3D can only be viewed using the supporting apps and is limited to local SBS files, not other formats yet. But the manufacturer allows anyone to make any type of app compatible with this, so hopefully people can discover this and make some amazing things happen. Oh, and their app also has a web browser that can be used to view SBS content online including KZbin, but it’s kind of broken outside of China for now. I hear they are working on a fix

[@2-da3333]

why can't they make one for computer monitors?

[@josh_3D]

I think they could! Just prioritizing iPhones first

[@jordykroeze]

Thats amazing, when more people can watch 3D more movies and content might come too. Any news on other phone support ?

[@josh_3D]

For now nothing is confirmed, but it could possibly come to android devices too, depending on demand. It will for sure come to all the iPhone 16 models

[@mrapplepie9826]

Would you say that it has the most 3d pop out and depth compared to your other devices. Should do a ranking🙏

[@josh_3D]

I think I’ll do I comparison and make a video!

[@threeninezeroseven]

Looks great . Any word on availability for Samsung Ultra devices

[@josh_3D]

Nothing yet, but I think if things go well with iPhones there is a chance it will come to Android smartphones. It would just need to be specifically manufactured to match those displays

[@ahmetrasid5375]

If all you need is a screen protector to have a 3d device what is the point of paying premium for something like lume pad or spatial labs? If this is as simple as you are showing here, than you can, in theory, turn a Lenovo legion go into a powerful 720p 3ds just by applying a fancy screen protector.

[@josh_3D]

This is a very good question. From what I have seen so far there are no disadvantageous to applying a protection screen like this (maybe just 3D brightness taking a bit of a hit). You could in theory turn any display into a high resolution 3D display. It is genius technology that is close to perfected at this point. There would be something about owning a 3D smartphone that feels different though, and I'm sure whatever Leia releases with its partners is going to be mindblowingly good, including the app ecosystem. Apple is highly unlikely to release a 3D smartphone anytime in the next 5 years, so while Leia releases 3D smart phones for Android, this gives anyone an affordable way to upgrade their iPhones to 3D devices.

[@TomsRCScalers]

@@josh_3D Exactly this. I think the real challenge and strengths of a company like Leia is on the software side. The Lumepad is great because of its big 3D ecosystem. The Acer SpatialLabs is great because of its SpatialLabs Center suite with TrueGame, supporting many official games on the Steam platform (while their movie player is still a joke to be honest). The more 3D capable hardware will pop up (and simple solutions like this), the more those companies are pushed to further develop their software to justify and selling their own hardware, linked to their own ecosystem. All this is good for the future of glasses free 3D, and I'm thrilled to see this happening. I hope those company are seeing your videos 😁

[@MadsterV]

@@josh_3D you should lose resolution per eye, but in different pixels and the consistency probably makes your head merge both. maybe you can see shimmering at the edges of bright objects? Still a very interesting proposition, as I love lenticular displays.

[@mrapplepie9826]

Does it only work on an iPhone?😮

[@josh_3D]

I think the technology would work on pretty much anything as long as it was manufactured to fit the display size. It’s just that the only ones available now in large quantities are newer iPhone models

[@greenith]

Out of the new 3d tech coming out, this really surprised me. Def interested in getting one for my iphone 15 pro max. Do you know if they are looking to bring this type of film to other devices such as an ipad (i owned the lume pad 2 (nubia version), but would be amazing to see it on a very bright ipad).

[@josh_3D]

I actually tested it out on an iPhone with a similar screen size as the 15 Pro Max (I think 14 plus) and it looked amazing, probably even better than it does on my iPhone 15 Pro. The benefit of the 15 Pro Max is that not only do you have the screen size, but if you use an app like Spatialify, you can take spatial photos and videos (including 60fps 3D) and view in 3D on your smartphone directly. I think they are exploring bringing it to more devices like tablets, laptops and possibly Android smartphones, but the priority is to start with iPhones.

[@greenith]

@@josh_3D cheers for replying, looking forward to see what they do. As for the website link, im trying to pay with my Wise Visa debit card, but its getting declined.

@@josh_3D Thanks saw them. They've got a bunch of apps. Interesting that it needs to be model specific! I've got an iPhone 11 so won't risk trying what could happen if one sticks that into a different model (even if it required some manual cutting) :) Although I'd prefer Android which is my main device. On a side note, still not heard anything from Acer about their new spatiallabs laptops... no one replies there!!

would this stil work on a iphone 14 im pretty sure the 14 is the same size and the only difference i know of on the screen is the top ear piece and its at the same spot just a bit different

[@josh_3D]

I was told that this won’t work. The only way to know is to actually try it, but it would be risky and unlikely to go well. I think the specific pixel arrangement combined with the perfect size protection screen and the calibration process is what makes it work

How is it compared to other 3d displays like Lume Pad 2 or Spatiallabs monitor and laptop?

[@josh_3D]

It looks and feels amazing to use, and I would place it at the same level as the Lume Pad 2 in terms of resolution (which is extremely impressive because its cramming that same pixel density into much less surface area), with a dimmer screen in enhanced 3D mode, but much less crosstalk compared to the Lume Pad 2 (about the same level as Spatial Labs). The level of pop-out I think also on the same level as the Lume Pad 2, again with much less crosstalk.

[@TomsRCScalers]

@@josh_3D As far as I have understood, the higher 3D resolution of the SpatialLabs Monitors and Laptops over the LumePad variants - beside their higher native screen resolution - is because the SpatialLabs uses less Pattern (total 2 views, each can use half of the native resolution) while the LumePad 2 is more flexible for different views and semi-holographic things with a trade of in 3D resolution (8 pattern/views in the current Lume Pad 2). This foil may add a 2 views parallax layer which would - thanks to the quite high native resolution of the iPhone still allow a very crisp image in 3D mode. Do you have to hold the phone in a sweet spot all the time during 3D viewing, or does it adapt your head position with head tracking?

[@josh_3D]

@@TomsRCScalers it tracks pretty nicely with head tracking. When you turn head tracking off, there are multiple sweet spots vertically and horizontally

[@TonyDrecaps]

What about android like the galaxy s24 ultra ?

[@josh_3D]

Not available yet, but that might come in the future! It depends on the level of demand, but it would function the same using this protection screen technology. The manufacturer would just need to mass produce protection screens that match the galaxy s24 ultra (which I hope they decide to do).
