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)

a couple videos of the 3d, I've seen more but all do the same thing, to view the 3d turn it on the side, not one mention of portrait 3d or pic showing the pentile matrix "optical alignment 2d tear" if you will, which leads me to believe it is landscape only, if you can post information "outside of the optimus comparison which is full of inaccurate information" to prove 3d in portrait mode you will have my thanks because I would LOVE it more, but I can't find that information

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.

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.
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.
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.
Lol i dont own the phone but know the answer anyways.
The 3d switch...switches between 3d and 2d...and only works in landscape mode.
Htc sense only got one 3d effect in weather i think...other stuff only 3d videos and photos and games.

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.

I am basically writing this article to help all those who have spent time and time to buy the best 3d phone and are probably reading STEREOTYPE reviews repeating same things again and again and leaving you in a more complex state that you were before reading them.
I own an HTC Evo 3d and I also own a Optimus 3d and i also own an Acer 4738DG 3d laptop. I spent hours trying to find which of the two phones is best but i ended up buying both. Now this review to help those wanting to buy and trying to choose.
I will NOT go into details available at every other review website. I will only point out features that really matter and are not available anywhere for review.
PHONE SIZE AND FEEL
O3D is definitely not easy to hold. Its light but difficult to operate. The standby button and unlock button is at the top which makes it difficult to use, since this is the button you are likely to use a lot. The phone is lighter than EVO 3d which is an advantage.
Evo 3D is very bulky. and HEAVY. However due to shorter width than O3D it is easier to hold and grip and the unlock plus startup button is more accessible than O3D. My personal choise is Evo 3D for this round. Simply because it is easier to grip, although it is heavy.
3D Capabilities
Evo 3d is NOT a 3d phone. Surprised? Well thats the truth unfortunately. Evo 3d is a 3D camera which lets you take pictures and view them in 3d. NOT a 3d phone. I dont see any intention of HTC to make it a 3d phone as such. The only thing they have developed is a 3d camera ad a viewing screen. There is no 3d conversion as in you would have to manually covert2d pics and videos on your PC before you can view them on EVo which is useless.
O3d is a 3D phone. its a 3d camera, plus 3d interface icluding 3d channel youtube, plus 3d gallery, plus 3d menus, plus 3d application plus 3d games. Hell, it can even convert ON THE GO 2D movies and snapshots in 3D without any external software.
Go for O3d if you want a full 3d phone.
3D Camera Quality
Evo 3D captures stil photographs in 3d format at max 2MP. Video is at 720p. The camera is pretty basic with regular Htc options and only one option of 3d width adjustment. The camera in 3d mode has flash. Horizontal viewing is best. Vertical although supported is hardly noticeable in 3D. 3d Depth is not as cool as O3d but the pictures come up nice and bright.
O3D captures stil photographs in 3d format at max 3MP. and video at 720p. There is no flash for 3D stills or movie which is a HUUUGEEE drawback. The 3d camera is very smart and allows many 3d options like side by side, vertical cuts and other depth adjustments. The depth of 3d pics is better than Evo3d. but the picture quality itself is not that great.
If you operate in a bright environment go for O3d. If not go for HTC cuz flash is a huge advantage. The low resolution of HTC is compensated by the fact that it has flash.
Pre Bundled 3D software
HTC Evo3D = None
O3D = 4 games in 3d, Separate 3d gallery, 3d stuff accessible from LG 3d store which has movie clips and other apps plus games.
UPDATES
O3D is promised by LG to be updated to Gingerbread in October alongwith more 3d applications and 3d interface. LG has a 3d STORE from where you can download 3d videos and clips, free plus paid. Means you dont have to dowload, crop, resize and then somehow make them work on HTC evo3d.
HTC Evo3D from what i have learnt is not getting 3d updates from HTC. It is left to the developers for that.
ROOTING
Both can be rooted.
Volume Rocker
Volume rocker key in both devices is a pain to use. Its so much embedded kind of inside the phone.
Battery
O3D battery lasts for atleast 4 hours more than Evo 3d.
The other stuff is pretty basic. So if anyone is looking for a 3d phone this review may help him.
I have been an HTC fan throughout. But honestly LG has come a long way. I have the LG app files so if anyone interested in porting them to HTC evo 3d that would really be great.
If this helps, just say thanks.

So... Did the LG win the "Updates" part based on promises on adding an update that's been out for months? Frankly it should have shipped with GB. Kindof ridiculous that it didn't...
Also, converting videos and pics on the go doesn't seem all that convenient if the camera can just take 3D videos and pics. Why take a 2D anything and convert? The conversion won't be even half as good as the real deal.

Auto 2d to 3D conversion. Well this feature is kinda handy. With a 3D phone in your hand, you have the new camera to take 3d pics but what about your old collection. Do you want to boast off the 3d and enjoy the same pic with 3d content? Well then LG is your choice cuz (because) the phone can do that.
The result is not that bad actually. I remember when i first laid hands on my Acer 5738dg 3d laptop i converted a lot of 2d content. Never liked it. But this new screen concept of without the glasses does a pretty decent job.
I can say this cuz i HAVE TESTED it on O3D. I would suggest someone else to test and say if its that bad or ok.
The games that come with HTC EVO 3d are standalone games available in sprint version. I am talking about sim free versions of both phones. PLUS O3D has a 3d interface from which you can actually use and launch the game.
Lastly, LG promised an update in august and they delivered. I think the gingerbread update is coming in October, but what I am more interested in is the promised development that LG stated that this update will enable 2D games to be viewed in 3D as well. That is what i meant with when i said its a true 3d phone.
I will probably keep both phones till either HTC gets a port of LG 3d interface or LG gets an update for camera 3d flash. After that I will sell one of these.
Meanwhile, if anyone wants a hands on comparison of any feature please post here and i shall help to the best of my knowledge.
BTW someone mentioned youtube? Well when i meant youtube built in O3D i mean a real 3D youtube app. Maybe i need to post a video to let you guys have a look. Youtube in 3d is accessible by adding ",yt3d" to any search. But thats not what i meant.
Any questions are welcome.

my evo 3d came with the green hornet 3d and spiderman 3d. It also came with that 3d games, but i wouldn't really call that one software though.

exactly what i meant.
I have all apks from LG plus the .dm video files.
Someone will need to work to port.
This article blows....
My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
Worst review ever.
Lets wait until O3D get ripped, and all that software, app, and other goodies will be in my rooted HTC (better than LG, and prettier than O3D) Evo 3D as well

You said the evo3D has no bundled 3D content. He was stating "yes, it did" your on the UK evo3D. You must be.. I read that didn't get 3D content.

Converting arbitrary 2d images into 3d w/o the actual physical 3d data is stupid.

You dont call 2 3d videos and 1 game 3d interface or software.
What i agreed with the author of that post was that its not 3d software.
The 3d videos are bundled by sprint not HTC.
In O3D, LG has worked to make it a 3d phone.

Kind of right, but what about for example
Cyberlink powerd dvd 3d conversion, dvd FAB, stereoscopic viewer and tridef.
These are all 3d converters and players and pretty decent ones and trust me they are making a lot of money for these features cuz large public wants it.
Anyways, the 3d conversion on O3D is not bad actually, its good. Not excellent and not at all like actual. but good.

YUP. thats what we all want.
HTC rocks as far as this forum is concerned. Best support and best people ever.
I can post a dropbox link of all apps and vidos in .dm if any one wants to try.

Oh.. OK, didn't get that is what you where talking about.
Sorry if I'm asking a Dumb question, but after explaining to a friend about Rooting and Flashing Roms, he hit me with the question... If he wanted me to Root his phone why Couldn't I turn his phone into a 3D phone! Honestly I Don't think its possible, but also he got me thinking is it Hardware related, or is 3D something that could be also Ported like Almost everything else?
Just Curious? Thanx...
How-to by HTC
The EVO 3D has a technology called a parallax screen (I think that is what it is called). It is the same technology in the Nintendo 3DS. Basically there are two screens that display a left and right image each and gives the 3D effect. It is the specific hardware that makes this possible and therefor cannot be ported to a phone without the hardware.

It is called Parallax Barrier i think.

All previous 3 posts are correct but mostly mentioning hardware. The answer is really two fold, both hardware and software provide the EVO 3D with the 3D support.
The hardware consists of the dual display/filter on the screens in order to render images properly for 3D. Another hardware feature not mentioned would be the two cameras on the back which allow for 3D photos and movies to be taken and then displayed through the 3D screen.
The other side of the equation is the software. HTC custom coded at least the gallery and camera application to properly render 3D image files and output from the camera in 3D.
Porting 3D to another device ... would require at least the hardware support via the proper screen setup and the software support for reading 3D files and displaying them on the 3D screen.
If you wanted to also port over the ability to produce 3D photos and videos, would require hardware with two cameras, or something mechanism to take two pictures with one camera at the right spacing/timing (probably unlikely) and the software to properly render the camera output in 3D on the screen.
I've only mentioned the minimum. At least for software, I'm sure there are libraries, drivers and other software requirements I've skimmed over which are required for 3D support.
Hope that helps you somewhat answer your friend!
Thanx for All your Answers, you guys are the Best!
