The way I understand how those screens work, I don't see how it would be possible for the screen to have a 3D effect in portrait AND landscape. And if it doesn't, that could be a deal breaker. Like you'd want the interface 3D effects, but you'd also want to be able to watch 3D videos in landscape.
Anyone know? I can't find any info on it or any video or anything.
While I don't think anyone can provide official answers at this point in time, I would assume they would not make it so that you had to watch YouTube 3D in portrait mode, as everyone knows how ridiculous that is.
Also, see:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSuD45mRl_o&feature=channel_video_title
It shows a video by HTC of the HTC EVO 3D, and it shows a movie being played in landscape, while the whole premise of the video is to showcase 3D abilities of the device, saying, specifically, before the portion of a movie clip in landscape, "3D movies in a stunning qHD display."
Thank god a new thread was started for this extremely specific question. I doubt it could have been asked in the 47 other EVO 3D threads.

Maybe anything that has the 3D effect will be forced to landscape (hypothesis)
If it's like any of the other glass-less 3D screens (LG Optimus 2X, Nintendo 3DS, 3D photo frames, etc...) it'll only work in 1 orientation. In order to work in 2 orientations, it'll need 2 parallax layers (instead of 1), or some other technology, and I don't think it's cost effective yet to do so.
If it will work horizontally what is stopping them from making it work vertically?

I posted this idea in the suggestion sub-forum and no one has replied to it yet.
What I was wondering about is. Well, ok, the phone takes 3D still pictures and video. I take it that you can view these 3D stills on your phone and maybe a 3D TV?? What about the video? Again viewable on a 3DTV?? What about on your pc monitor? I guess printing hard copies is out huh? So, its kinda like a novelty and maybe gamer thing??? The only thing I would probably like is if the GUI itself is 3D. Thats what I'm looking at the most anyway.

As far as I understand it, these screens work like printed holograms. Your left and right eye are actually seeing different sets of pixels. So the screen is divided into two vertically-interlaced screens (which explains the poor viewing angle). If you turned such a screen on its side, the pixel rows would no longer be vertically interlaced but horizontally interlaced and your eyes would not be seeing the different screens and you would have no 3D effect.
From videos of the device it seems clear that it DOES work in both portrait and landscape, so I'm pretty interested in learning how they're pulling it off.

Hi guys! I have a couple questions for anyone who can answer them.
First, is it known whether 3D is only shown when the phone is in landscape, or does it also display in portrait?
Secondly, if it is always displaying in 3D, can we expect there to be an API to convert apps and/or view current 2D apps in 3D?
EDIT:I have found several blog articles stating that it does display in both landscape AND portrait.
Code:
http://blog.gsmarena.com/htc-evo-3d-vs-lg-optimus-3d-taking-the-fight-to-another-dimension/
Which brings up even more questions!
Is the screen using parallax barrier technology to display everything in 3D or is this some new fangled screen.
If this is the case (i.e. parallax barrier) are we only going to see half of the 960x540 resolution (480x270) when in 2D mode? I'm asking you parallax barrier experts!
Also, still no answer to my second question, but I assume we won't know at all until the phone is actually released.
3d landscape only
Probably
The htc evo 3D can do both portrait and landscape in 3D. This feature has been used a a key selling point over the optimus 3D (which can only do 3D in portrait mode)

I don't know who to believe! This is a major question and a huge selling point. For example, if you don't own any other 3D technology what else does this phone do for you than alow you to look at your pictures strictly on your device. If this is a hardware limitation, I can understand, but if they just didn't put in the effort to make the UI 3D then I will be throughly dissapointed.

right now I have an optimus 3D in my possession and when you take 3D pictures it takes them in .jps format, which is essentially just two jpegs which then gets rendered by the software for the 3D. So you still get to transfer the .jps files to you computer (for backup purposes) and then on the phone convert it to 2d which will create a jpg of both frames. =)

That's cool, I figured that would be the case. In fact, I remember on the androidandme interview, the rep told them that when you shot stills in 3D it also saves a 2D copy.
This doesn't help my question though! I'm wondering if the phone can display 3D while in PORTRAIT.
First person to give me a proven answer gets... something.
EDIT: I beat you to it. Updated OP.
reread post 4, that optimus comparison is full of inaccurate information and cannot be used as a source and is the only site stating 3d in portrait
yeah sorry, can't help w/ the issue of portrait vs landscape haha... the optimus and evo 3d screens are diff. Buuttttt just an fyi the optimus is only landscape.
I'm seeing that all the dvd rips for 3D movies are called side by side stereoscopic. Pretty big files from what I'm seeing too (3-4 gigs). Are these the 3D movie files that are gonna be for sale? Or possibly another type?
I haven't heard of any 3d video content for sell other than Blockbusters 3d Video rental app of course. I have no idea what format it will read or make when you use 3d videos :/.
I'm not really surprised that the file size is so huge. If I'm not mistaken, to create the 3D effect, the makers of the 3D movies, when putting together a 3D movie, are just putting another copy of the movie, just slightly moved to the left or right. Which causes the 'in-depth' look of a 3D movie.

He's got the right idea. Two cameras are used to capture the same object from 2 different perspectives to allow the perception of depth, just like your eyes.

After reading many of the recent reviews, I have noticed that the Evo records video in SBS (side by side) 3D. So I have a pretty good hope that my collection of 3D mkvs can be converted and will be watchable in 3d.
So will RealD movies be able to be watched in 3D on the phone? I see that RealD is based on SBS, but it's meant to be seen with glasses. Also, does anyone know if the IMAX 3D videos would be playable?
I'm not even going to attempt to make an assumption about this, because I have no idea about whether it will work or not.
The stereoscopic RealD Format is a patented version of a side-by-side 3D formatting technology.

Real D is meant to be seen with glasses because of the screen you're viewing it on. There is a reason we only have glasses free 3d on small devices. So far for glasses free you have a limited viewing angle and range. For the time being you can't pull this off at the scale of a theater let alone an IMAX. Intel had showcased a glasses free 3d tv that was around 37" at a CES a few years back. While it worked the viewing angles were poor for a television http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/.
Anyway 3D isn't shot in too many different ways. The biggest issue is what format your TV has to output the 3D to match the glasses. In the PS3 you don't have to make sure your 3D is recorded a certain way, you just have to make sure you choose an output format on your PS3 that matches what your TV uses. It should be the same here on the Evo 3D, except the Evo has one screen so it knows how to display the images for that screen. The basic principle behind 3D is you're showing two different images at the same time, one for your right eye and one for your left to trick you into seeing depth.
Uhh, thanks?
My question wasn't about how RealD or IMAX 3D work... but rather if we would be able to view those types on our devices with glasses-less.
I'm not worried about viewing them on my TV, because I have a 3D TV already, so I'm just asking about the videos on our phones.
If not, then we will be EXTREMELY limited it what we can view in 3D (other than our own recordings), as far as movies go.
So, does anyone know if we can use either of those two formats on our phones, or is this something that we'll just have to wait for the phones so we can actually test it?

Seeing as the 3D content is fully supported by the hardware and display I don't see why a stereoscopic player can't be coded. That's to say that this device will not support these formats natively. The most common are .m2ts & .mkv, they do weigh in pretty hefty with a 1080p movie averaging about 10gb (Avatar is like 16) It seems to me that the standard 3D format for the phone would be SBS since it has the SBS camera. With that being the case we can naturally assume that it will process these videos much in the same way your current 3D tv does (merging two images)

This is a perfect example of how the 3D in question is achieved. STEREOSCOPE means dual vision, meaning a different image is sent to each eye. Meaning two images spaced appart like your own eyes. The director of "House of Wax" 1953 (Vincent Price) had trouble when shooting the film because he only had one good eye and could not see the effects properly.

I think we will have to wait. But I should have an answer for you by the end of the day on Friday, cuz I will have a 3d converted MKV all ready to go.
Outcome
It is simple, MKV is not supported on the Evo3D. You need to convert it to mp4 format to be played.
When the movie starts it is being seen as Side By Side (2 images). Then simply hit Menue button (the one that looks like 3 lines) and then select view in 3D and it works great.
Now the question is when converting what is the correct format to convert it to (resolution for 3D). Over the next few weeks I am going to try the settings and see what is best, so far I used the regular conversion from one to one, just the format and it plays fine.
Will the 3d screen only be used for movies and pictures or can it also be used in the launcher? A real 3d HTC sense launcher I mean. Or will the launcher just look like normal phones?
currently launcher is set to be 2D. only 3D right now are movies, Pictures, and upcoming games, and apps I believe. outside of that in 2D you have one kick arse phone.
That's a pity then.
I was hoping once developers start making ROM's they can develop 3D launchers or 3D keyboards, but now thanks to HTC that will never be possible.

I don't see why 3D output would be that much more costly battery wise than 2D output. The content is still static. LCD pixels are either on or off. The parallax barrier pixels will be on, which is where all of the excess drain would come from. But it's hard to theorize how much extra drain that would cause. But it's not like you're playing a video or something the whole time.
And someone earlier asked if the 3D qHD screen would be the same as a 2D qHD screen. My understanding is that the qHD LCD layer of the screen would be identical; it just has the parallax barrier layer as well. But when that's off, it should be just a typical qHD LCD screen for all intents and purposes.

Thanks for your response. I had the same question about the E3D screen being the same as the sensation because I was concerned that the addition of the p. barrier on the 3D would compromise the optimal quality or clarity of the QHD screen. This is paramount to me since I could care less about 3D but am really excited about the QHD and the prospect of near Iphone4-like sharpness and clarity. I tend to used my phone for videos, ebooks, and web surfing and have been wishing for higher/better resolutin for years.
Is the screen 3D constantly? Or do you have the option of turning it on and off.
When viewing 3D on the screen, is it 3D in both landscape and portrait?
When it is in 3D, is everything 3D? ie. all aspects of the user interface, menus, etc.
Thanks.

3D works only while viewing pictures, watching videos and playing games. No 3D in menus, homescreen, etc. The switch flips the camera from 2D to 3D in order to take 3D pictures and videos. It works best in landscape.

This was also debated in threads even before we had a release date... My first 3d every time I would use the 3d camera and press the home button rather than the back button my launcher and icons looked holographic
Could be a possible to utilize the 3d effect in portrait mode... But wouldn't be very usefull to the people that get "sick". Or a headache from long exposure to the 3d effect

Is there a 3D launcher available? I really like LG Optimus 3D's interface (from what I hear).

No...else i would have found it. Ive looked everywhere but well 3d is new so maybe in the future....
It would be awesome though if it could be ripped from the optimus and copied onto the 3vo.

Im sure a lot of the 3d features will be shared back and forth

Wow i just read the knowmymobile review of the evo3d...
They say when you make 3d photos it doesnt even make it quality 3d...
So i ask you owners...does it has good 3d effects? Effects of both depth, and a "jump out of the screen"? When making close photos and when making distance photos?

I will stand behind it... I was a person that assumed it was a "gimmick". But I've see some pretty amazing. Videos and pics both with depth and the POP out effect... Id say try to get your hands on one and watch a few YouTube 3d videos.... It's beyond a gimmick now

I know the 3d sdk is not out yet but I was curious if anyone farmilar with chainfire knows if it'd be possible to make a plugin for the EVO 3d to force everything to use the 3d display.

And then? Play a game thats not made for a 3d screen? That will look like crap.
If you have no input why post?
@OP I'd imagine it is possible actually, similar to graphics cards forcing anti aliasing and 3d in pc games.
That's something I'm definitely interested in seeing, but I wouldn't know how much work it would take to get it working

I had a great imput. Not a imput like your brilliant reply. Thinking AA is desame easyness as enabling 3d everywhere.
If a 3d application does not support 3d on its own, you will get crapess on its best.

Thanks. Im glad for you that you write perfect english without error.
I'd like to say, in theory, with a game that is rendered in three dimensions, you could program it to just use two different camera angles... but um, it'd have to be programmed into each one i'd guess... so yeah, no, prolly never gonna work.

Correct. Now the trolls can go away
In theory the display driver could be coded to display any opengl app in 3d, without changing apps. The driver has the complete 3d model, and two perspectives could be rendered. This would produce an accurate 3d projection for any ogl/el game.
The only thing that would appear odd is if the dev wasn't careful with the z plane on some objects ( 2d overlays, etc). It would appear fine in 2d, but 3d they may be way close or far out.
The 3d games aren't even POP OUT 3D so I don't know what the other guys are talking about. If you even play the included 3d game you can easily tell it just adds depth....I see why there would be a difference in other games, there will just be aded depth.
I thought NVIDIA's 3d stuff was a similar hack which is why they had varying degrees of compatibility among various games

I doubt spiderman was completely rewritten in 3d format. I would imagine it was just converted. I know instant 2d to 3d on a capable television doesnt look bad at all. Even some 2d to 3d clips are pretty good if done right, so I dont see what all the negative fuss is about. I was disappointed before launch, when I realized this phone didnt do 2d to 3d.
Oh yeah, games like call of duty that switches to 3d, doesnt have a completely seperate game on the disc, and it looks good.
3D isn't 3D as it was 5 years ago.
even in the movie theaters 3D isn't like OMG **** IS COMING AT ME kind of deal.
it adds "depth" and somewhat "clarity"
i remember Terminator 3D , now that was 3D .
the EVO 3D has limitations , makes stuff minor 3D. requires a lot of resources for full 3D . nothing a phone can handle atm, not even computers can handle it. full popping out , i think that hand is gonna grab my face 3D .
would you sacrifice half your battery life permanently with no fixes for full 3D on all the time? how would your eyes feel? looking at it everyday all day? i'll super glue 3D glasses onto your head . everything will be 3D .
the 3D effect is simply an angle, and depth as people say. that is all. makes you see more than just a flat angle. you can see the sides of the flatness, making it 3D

I'm not sure what you are trying to say? What is limited with this phone?
