[Confirmed] screen does 3d in portrait - HTC EVO 3D

Someone who has the device, please verify. I have not seen a conclusive answer to if it can show 3d in portrait or not. Most say no, some say yes. Someone with the phone can test this quickly.
If it doesn't show 3d in portrait, what does it do when trying to view a 3d photo in portrait?
Thanks.
EDIT: several users confirm below that the screen does indeed show 3d in the portrait orientation, albeit with mixed results.

Do bot have the device but I can assure that you cannot. Parralax barrier can only do one orientation.

Taking a portrait picture would be pointless for 3D since the cameras would be on top of eachother and the file itself wouldn't work in portrait.

huh?
i have the phone and you can see 3D in portrait
not that well, but it does it
rotate it to landscape and simply looks better

I'm not asking about taking a picture, only viewing it. And I only ask about a photo cause it's easy and direct yes or no. What I really want to know is if the screen can show 3d in portrait. I've assumed that it cannot. But xHausx thought it could as well as GSM Arena said it could.
I know the theories. Just want someone with the phone to do this one test to prove it.

actually its not that bad in portrait,for some reason it takes a bit longer for my eyes to register the 3D lol
but after a minute it'll look fine in portrait,but of course the pic is smaller
when u landscape it, it goes full screen and then its easier to see
But if defiinately shows in portrait. I havent taken any pics yets, im using the 15 standard 3d pics that came with the phone

I have the device, and while it does show a 3d picture in portrait mode, it is not in 3d, its eschewed and weird. when you turn it to landscape the photo becomes 3d.

That's likely because your brain is going through the motions of imagining that both of your eyes are stacked on top of eachother...seriously. It is physically impossible to have an actual 3D viewing experience in portrait...perhaps your brain is interpreting it and getting some depth information out of it...kinda...but it is not intended to be viewed that way.
...though I do think think an orientation agnostic parallax barrier technology could be developed and made relatively inexpensive eventually. I know nothing about the parallax barrier technology, though as a high end specialty screen printer in a former life I'm very familiar with lenticular printing and I imagine it's the same idea...I also imagine that the barrier is a black-n-white LCD type technology oriented at angles....and I don't see why they couldn't have multiple angles...though that would probably add thickness....but once the resolution of the screen gets high enough it would probably not be too noticeable....
...or I'm way the fnck off...

I like saywhat's take on the matter!
Others please confirm. I'm getting geeked for 3d ui possibilities now

We should just rename this entire General forum to "Confirmation Bias Central" until everyone gets the damned phone in their hands...christ.

I too thought that paralax barriers only worked in one orientation, but the portrait orientation definitely looks 3d. 3d UI sounds sweet, I would suggest a default UI orientation of landscape - I know I almost always have my phone in landscape anyway
ps - I am on my EVO 3d right now.

Sorry daneurysm, but yes, I am using the forum to ask a question to those who have a device already. I'm just not sure Jesus cares enough about this for you to drag Him into it.
I think that's 2 who say definitely parallax 3d works in portrait. One or two more confirm and I'll change the op title maybe. HTC is stupid for not explaining this clearly.

Its taking my eyes forever to adjust to the 3D effects.... lmao

Amen to that, lol.
HTC was not clear at all and I have heard conflicting theories from all across the board...though I am suspicious that HTC not commenting directly on it would suggest that they don't want to say it can't be in 3D for 90% of the things you use your phone for.
I don't see it being impossible, in fact quite the opposite as I explained above...though I figure we would have heard about this specifically if it was "3D however you hold it" technology.
I hope it is 3D all the way around, but, logic is pointing in the opposite direction....don't underestimate your brain's ability to overestimate it's input stimuli, it's fascinatingly good at 'filling in the details', especially visually.

For now.

Maybe it does 3d in portrait with 2 parallax barriers and switches between them. And perhaps they didn't advertise it because portrait 3d is even more eye straining? Idk, but it's cool if it can do it.

I don't see how or why that would be impossible to do...and like I said before (and I should google it...maybe later...not now) I know nothing of this technology, but I imagine it's like old black-n-white LCD technology with each strip at an angle...or two, one on each side for alternating lines....but perhaps they could do a matrix and trigger it like a dot-matrix LCD, one for horizontal and one for vertical depending on orientation....though that also changes the angles...I wonder if the supposedly limited viewing angle has something to do with this in any way.
...don't concern me, I look at my phone dead-on...like everybody...and I don't treat it like a home theater either...

The 2D -> 3D button is only for the camera, right? Is it going to be possible to completely turn off the 3D effect? I'm sure the novelty will wear off and I'd rather the battery life.

Is it just me or is the 3d easier to se ethan reviewed

OK, maybe i have bad eyes, and according to the optometrist i do Anyway, point being, i seem to have absolutely no trouble seeing the 3d effect and i can see it from, not a wide angle range, but i dont have to be in the "magical" spot. Even all the photos and videos i took look great. Far better than the ones that came on the phone as samples. Lastly, the 3d content on youtube was awesome and very easily viewed to me. I am one to get motion sick easily and for some reason, i have no issues with this device. Like i said, maybe iim the exception, but i'm 110% satisfied with the device and the "gimmic" 3d
Yeah I think the 3d mode is pretty good. All though at extreme angles it will mess with your eyes.
I agree, 3d is very easy to see for me. It looks amazing too
I thought the same thing.
I played with a ds3d and hated it. Knowing that this phone had similar tech made me question its quality and ease on my eyes.
Well i can say now that the 3d is very good! Just got done watching green Hornet 3d and my eyes feel fine. I did fine myself loosing the 3d at times but I think that's cause I was looking at it for so long.
Pictures are a little harder to tune in and are harsher on the eyes, but the 3d affect is amazing! This phone is definitely a win in my book.

Agreed, Worst Seth Rogan film ever. Hurts my eyes too.
Now the 3D effect, is bad ass! Yes you have to have it at the correct angle but with a Kickstand case, no problemo.
Last time I got my eyes checked, about 3 years ago, I had 20/15 vision so I would say that my sight is pretty good. The 3D effect is good but I find, at least for me, that the window is extremely narrow. It really has to be in the prefect position, otherwise it's nauseating.
I find it amazing. U just have to hold it still

I must admit the 3D is much better than I expected, especially after reading the early reviews. I'm fortunate in that I haven't had the eye fatigue or headaches reported by some. But as far as the 3D effect it is very good, even the pictures I've taken; and practice makes perfect. As mentioned above, holding the phone still in important.
The YouTube videos are awesome. I upgraded from the 4G to the 3D for the new processor and Sense 3.0; 3D was really not much of interest yet that is all I've been playing with since I got the phone yesterday.
At a price of $199 after rebates, why would anyone in there right mind complain about a feature you do not have to use anyway. It is amazing that this thing has 3d along with all of it's other top specs of any device and still came in at the price point it did.
The only thing they might have done different if they did not add the 3d in would have been to up the camera to 8mp but even then, it would probably be the same camera we have now but just shoot larger pictures so who cares.
I also bet all the people who screamed gimmick are starring at there phone right now trying to find anything in 3d to view.......
Although right now, I am starring at my phone fighting with myself if I should push the button to upgrade my software or wait to see if they root the non-updated software!
Anyway, 3d is a win on this device! Don't know how much better they could have made it and cannot understand how any reviewer can complain about the way it was implemented.....

[Q] Buggy 3D perfomance

The 3d images and videos on my phone doesnt really work all the time. The two images dont really line up properly. It seems like the phone is having convergence issues or something. The images look somewhat 3D but there is a lot of double images and ghosting. Nothing like when I got it out of the box. The 3d effect was perfect. Sometimes a hard reset will tame it, even tried a factory reset but the problem keeps coming back. Does anyone else have this issue?
i too have this issue.
My hypothesis, is that it cant or didnt auto focus correctly
EDIT:
Also i have the "out of box" software. these OTAs might have fixed some 3D rendering software

i went to a baseball game yesterday and took some pics... i seriously have to cross my eyes to see a solid picture. it seems the 3D camera works well for pics between 3 to 50ft away, anything farther seems to strain your eyes when trying to focus. The players were doubled (with lots of space between them) and focusing before taking the pic isn't that accurate(even in 2D), the samsung galaxy s has much MUCH better focus abilities. Took a pic of the city skyline and it wasn't as crisp as i thought it would be
i hope software updates in the future improve this (ie the camera from the new mytouch)

I have all the OTA updates. It's a real problem and I think more people have it than realize. But as long as its a software issue I can hold off on trading it in. My handset is perfect as far as build, so if its not fixed in a few weeks I'll just exchange it as defective.

Another symptom is that 3D pictures in the gallery don't work in portrait. It just shows the two pictures interlaced together with no 3D effect at all.

You can adjust the image after you take it. Use the magic wand and align 3d image. Pretty simple.

I've seen a video on youtube that looked like you describe, but it seemed to be a fluke, most of the other things looked as I'd expect.
Our cameras are fixed and can't adjust for different distances like our eyes can so the 3d effect will be lost of trying to capture somethin far away....
As far as 3d in portrait it works but it wasn't meant to be seen that way
Bussin Caps n 3D
I've notice this also but I call it a bad take on a picture. Just like it was stated above the camera might not have focused correctly. Usually another take does it. And I've noticed that looking at 3D content doesn't strain my eyes like before because I trained my eyes for this this type of media. Now I could see a 3D pic in an instant.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
Nah its not a bad take and pictures are being taken properly. I know this because after a hard reset everything shows up fine for a minute or two before reverting back. (3d effect in landscape but not spaced properly so lots of ghosting and double images, no 3d effect AT ALL in portrait just shows two interlaced photos.) I know the 3d isn't optimal in portrait but its not working for me, period.

Does this happen when you show the 3d to someone?

Every single time I show the 3d to someone they keep turning it to the left and right thinking it's like those 80's baseball cards. I tell them just to hold it still but then they start the repetitive tilting for no reason. Anyone else always get this?
I'm not mad but think it's hilarious. Just look at the screen. How hard is that?
Every. Single. Time.
Well every person has different peripheral vision so they have to angle it left and right until the two images become one. I actually tell people to do that. Otherwise some just see two images. Also aligning the 3D image for yourself will screw it up for others. Not everyone sees the same.

You are quite correct. People have different peripheral vision and different dominant eye. However, most people angle the device +/- 30 degrees while the actual angle needed for optimal 3D effect is closer to 5 degrees. What I've noticed is that the distance of the device to the eyes is a much bigger factor in the 3D effect.
You have to admit, flipping it back and forth is a cool effect too! Eventually I'll actually be able to see the 3d effect. Right now, the flippy stuff is all I see, semi-superimposed images.
Yes, you eyes have a ton to do with whether you can see the 3d or not. 2 months ago I had major eye surgery to repair a torn retina, therefore my eyes do NOT focus together. (I'll be getting a contact to correct this soon) Then I'll be able to see if the 3d is "worth" it.

Oh ya I mean it needs angled just a tiny bit left and right.
i have had people do the same thing.. so now i tell every person i hand it to, just to look at it straight on and relax their eyes, like they are looking at one of those old school 3d pictures.. i havent had a single person do it since i started telling them that..and i agree the distance place a factor in the image..
Zone had it right. It's what you did when you first got the phone. Don't lie, you had to adjust it to find your sweet spot. The only thing I hate is when people look at it for less than 5 seconds and just give up on it and say that they cant handle it. Now I do understand that too, and I probably have some of the worst eyes on this forum, but it just bugs me, not really that bad though because I like the 3D.

Yes I understand aligning the image. And I do explain that. I'm talking about them trying to view the image like it's on a see saw(that's why I brought up the 1980's baseball cards).
I even had one person say to me "Wow I bet with 3D glasses these photos would be crazy!" (while continuously tilting the phone...).

That would be cool. And the idea has been through around a few times. But yeah, battery would be pretty bad. Also, the parallax barrier isn't arrange to do portrait properly I don't think. Im pretty sure its aligned to only do landscape. If you notice when you view a 3d pic in portrait your viewing angle is like 2degrees and it still doesn't look quite right.

Right. It would technically work, but it would look like crap. I don't think its worth the effort. Maybe a launcher that turns into 3D when viewed in landscape mode? Or a toggle to turn the display from 2D to 3D. Hopefully all this will be possible if the devs here can unlock the bootloader.
I would love to have it 3D, like in the commercials. I feel like I got short changed when I turn on my phone and the home screen isn't jumping out at me. Now that would shut up the iphone geeks.

Hey, now there is a thought. a mod that would use the 2D-3D switch on the phone that is dedicated to just the camera, hack that so it turns 3D on once the phone goes into landscape mode. You know, like what everyone thought the 3D switch was for in the first place! hack it up and name it "the ORIGINAL 3D switch" or something.
Also, something I have been thinking about (which isn't possible I don't think but, it SHOULD have been something incorporated.)
the phones have a tilt sensor. why wasn't the parallax barrier linked to that in some way, so whenever the phone is tilted from it's centered calibration, the PB would adjust in real time to the new position. voila!, good bye narrow 3D viewing angle.
Sounds interesting but the barrier is a physical thing more than it is software or am I wrong

most definitely is a physical thing, which is why it wouldn't really be possible now that the phone is released. cool idea none the less.
I had this happen to me and everything in the launcher had 3d-ish effect to it even the app drawer. It was pretty neat but eventually it went away.
Looking at the screen while in the sun you can actually see the parallax barrier..... What I saw was a uniform grid
So technically the only reason 3d couldn't function properly in portrait would be because of the lack of real estate to trick your eyes..

3D Left/Right separation test (pic)

I'd be interested in what other see when you put the attached on your phone and view it. Just drop the mpo file on the sd card under DCIM\100MEDIA and then view it via the gallery. Turn the phone landscape with the capacitive buttons on the right. When you hold the phone as you would to view any 3D image, you should be able to close one eye at a time and see two different images. If the phone has perfect separation, you'd see the word LEFT with only your left eye open and RIGHT with only the right eye open. But inevitably, you'll probably be able to see a faint ghost of the "wrong" word too ("LEFT" in the right eye or "RIGHT" in the left eye).
How much crosstalk do you see? I see a faint ghost of the "wrong" word indicating there is some crosstalk or ghosting but it's really pretty good separation. The ghosting on mine is pretty faint but I can still see the wrong (ghosted) word in each eye. The interesting thing is, on my phone, the amount of ghosting varies. On mine, the "T" in "RIGHT" is the darkest/worst.
I'm just wondering how much variation there is in our screens and if some are better than others. Be sure to close one eye at a time and fine tune the angle of the phone so you can get the best angle with the minimum possible ghosting.
Mike
Worked for me. I don't see the opposite with either eye closed. Pretty cool how that works. No ghosting at all.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Hmm. Ended up being pretty easy to take a picture of what I see through my left eye. Just use a camera and move to the left of center while looking through the viewfinder until the ghosted word is as dim as possible and take a picture. This is what mine looks like.
Mike
I Also don't see the opposite with either eye closed. Is cool indeed but wouldn't it just matter how your holding your phone ? If i slightly tilt it with one eye closed then i start to see the opposite word.

The key is to tilt the phone back and forth while closing one eye at a time so that you get the minimum amount of ghosting at one particular tilt: that's the best you'll be able to do with a real 3D image. Distance from your eyes also does make a difference so you kinda have to play with it.
Mike
Oh Lord. I hope this thread doesn't end up spawning another group of returns/exchanges. I just tested this on my wife's 3vo. Hers has a crooked screen and it doesn't show a trace of ghosting under the exact same conditions and brightness! Mine (with a straight screen) shows the ghosting problem. Not only that, hers keeps good separation through a much wider range of angles! Mine fluctuates a lot and it is VERY picky WRT angle. Completely different than hers.
One reason I tried this is that I've always felt that my first 3vo, one with a crooked screen, had better 3D depth and my new one with the straight screen just didn't have the same depth. Now I know why. I guess with these screens you either get a crooked screen or bad 3D. Wonder if there are any out there that have both a straight screen and good 3D? Both phones are HT16 serial numbers and 0002 hardware so they should have the same screen, right? If so, there seems to be some variation in how well the 3D works on these screens.
Mike
I guess I need to change my name. From this point forward you shall all refer to me as Ima. Ima Weetodd.
I looked through the 3D samples and the one with the river, rocks, and the mountains in the background looked especially bad. You could see ghosts of the rocks on either side and it really ruined the 3D effect. The Garfield 3D trailer from YouTube looked horrible too: hard to even resolve a single image. Visions of me going back to the Sprint store for a second exchange started to enter my mind. Until...
Guess what? I never would have expected this! I cleaned my screen thoroughly and NO ghosting at all now!!! It didn't even look dirty but apparently a thin film of finger grease is all that was needed to cause the ghosting. Apparently there was just enough refraction to cause a decent portion of the wrong side to get through to each eye. I repeated the separation test and looked at the pics/videos again with a clean screen: zero ghosting. Just to be sure I wasn't insane or switching the screen off/on wasn't what caused it, I actually rubbed my hands all over my face and then over the screen until I could see a faint film. I'm not a particularly greasy dude but that's all it tool: ghosts galore came back.
I guess if nothing else, I've learned a dirty screen REALLY affects 3D and if anyone has any question about whether or not their 3D is working properly, the image attached to the OP should serve us well.

I'm returning mine now I see ghosting
J/k . mine has absolutely no ghosting at all, the screen Has a slight tilt and its horribly dirty right now.
Funny I had at 3d with a strait screen that I return , and I always felt the 3d effect was better on it

Something else I noticed. This is proof positive that the phone does support 3D in portrait mode. Bring up the image in portrait and look at it. It is VERY sensitive to angle and there is a little ghosting but at just the right angle, it does work. Holding the phone portrait, only "LEFT" shows to the left eye and "RIGHT" shows to the right eye. If you are off even a fraction of a degree though, you start seeing the words appear in various primary colors as you tilt the phone. At just the right angle (face-on), it does appear to fully support 3D in portrait.

Have you tried using the wand icon to correct the issue? Mine works perfectly although I do feel I need to hold it with the right side of phone slightly closer to my face rather than straight on.

The "Adjust 3D alignment" feature adjusts how far apart the two frames appear via shifting the frames in/out a certain number of pixels. That will have no affect on ghosting: ghosting/crosstalk is an error in the alignment of the two parallax barriers on the screen. That gap/angle is not adjustable.

I've seen ghosting in some pics and was able to fix it buy using that feature. And sometimes in some media I can not get it to go away at all.
