I actually haven’t ever seen the Skyy tablet. Compared with the Lume Pad 1, resolution is much higher. Basically on the same level as Lume Pad 2 with less ghosting but worse head tracking

@@josh_3D The Skyy tablet (IQH3D) is exactly the same with the previous Proma King tablet. Have you seen Proma King ?

Cool. Just a heads up the features are pretty much nonexistent. I’m still trying to see if there is anything I’ve overlooked

@@josh_3D dang, luckily I'm just looking to use it for watching 3D ISO movies

​@@josh_3Dthats okay, I'm only going to use it for watching SBS MKV videos, as long as it can do that im happy.

Things are very strange right now with these devices. They get announced, then never actually sell. The ones that did sell were in very limited quantities and are difficult to track down. I would recommend waiting because I think this will start to change next year

@@josh_3D okay ☺️

Hey thank you for sharing about the screen protector. I bought the screen protector and tried it thinking it was going to suck. The first video on it was my first impression and I was literally blown away. Couldn’t believe it could hold up against things like the Lume Pad 2. Resolution actually isn’t quite at the same level as the best glasses free 3D mobile devices out there, but it doesn’t fall too short and is unquestionably high for mobile glasses free 3D. With solid chunks of color the “pattern “ of the lenticular barrier shows through, but that is not equivalent to 3D resolution. I started making these videos with the original Lume Pad and have tried to access and review as many as possible since then. After 2.5 years of using these things every day las a normal consumer of the products I have a good sense of what good glasses free 3D should and can be. To me it felt like a miracle that such a good visual experience could be brought to iPhones out of nowhere. Without this product the only way people would ever get glasses free 3D on iPhones is when Apple decides make phones with that kind of display.

So zero BS. I genuinely think it’s amazing and enjoy using it every day. Software and apps are a big issue though, and I’m trying to figure out how to get people and developers to support this quickly so that the product has a chance to succeed and go mainstream and also so that the manufacturer can invest in even better future versions for iPhones and other smartphone brands

@@josh_3D Since you are in contact with the manufacturer of the screen protector, are they likely to produce an Android version any time soon (with Android app), and will it be possible to buy a kit with a protector that you trim to fit a variety of Android screen sizes/shapes? Do they plan a tablet size protector for iPads, etc?

​@@josh_3D "Software and apps are a big issue though" -> exactly this!!! Owning as well a few of those glasses free 3D devices (Lume Pad 2, Acer SpatialLabs, ProMa King Tablet, and also the iPhone 3D screen "protector") I can tell that many of them have really nice and solid 3D hardware nowadays, at least enough for a relaxed media enjoyment with more or less ghosting. However, the thing is that many have a very limited software ecosystem, and watching your own 3D movies - if you have some - can only be done by using their proprietary player app (to support the lenticular structured layer and head tracking). So questions like changing language tracks, display subtitles, correct image aspect ratio might be one thing. Another thing is even how to access your media files over USB or even over samba network where you might have stored them. And even worse: modern video (mkv) and audio (ac3) formats often are not supported by those proprietary apps, so you end up in re-encoding your stuff first, just to watch it on the specific device. Most of the Chinese solutions come with free access to some grayish online movie streaming services instead (which sometimes are completely non-accessible outside China anyway), and if you want to access your own local files you have to copy them over into the app. 🤷‍♂

Soon 😁

@@josh_3D Well now, have you heard rumours of a new-and-improved model…?

It is a interesting thought, the eye tracking with these seems completely terrible. I struggle to tell if its working properly or not.

Sorry, forgot to include those. It is used to help reapply the protector if it ever came loose or needed to be loosened to remove debris after applying it

@@josh_3D So does that mean you can removed and reapplied and it will work?

@@fgerv I haven’t actually tried it, but theoretically if it is clean enough it would. I don’t recommend doing that unless there is something wrong and it needs to be removed. There is also the risk that it will crack or break when removing like with other screen protectors

How is it? I’m going to try to release more 3D videos very soon on my other test channel. These videos maybe aren’t totally optimized for CZcams

@@josh_3D A little screen door and ghosting. Used the 3d left right and eye tracking. This is a better example of 3d on CZcams czcams.com/video/ljJJxtfm8fE/video.htmlfeature=shared

The problem is they don’t give any easy way to screen record in 3D or display just the left and right image. I could try recording a session capturing the 3D effect of the laptop screen but that is also very difficult

That’s not a good sign where Acer is taking this technology because nearly every gaming PC and console nowadays comes with a way to record video of your gameplay. If they are being this restrictive about recording, they are probably being very protective of their technology, which will likely prevent wide-adoption.

@@ahmetrasid5375 I completely agree. All the companies doing 3D are doing the same thing to future proof themselves, but by doing that they are making it difficult for that future to ever come in the first place.

@@josh_3D The only reason VR has thrived today is due to Meta's persistent innovation and provision of affordable, competent hardware that's easy to develop for. Unfortunately, the current hardware space for 3D displays and tablets lacks such companies. I don't want 3D displays to end up like e-ink, which has seen decades of stagnation with only one or two companies dominating the sidelines.

I’m disappointed also that the AI real time conversion tech hasn’t been improved further for LeiaTube. Right now it is kind of a mess. The last update made it worse, much less stable.

Here's the link! 3dfix.company.site/

Unfortunately there isn’t a way. This is the biggest problem I have with all 3D devices right now. Lack of 3D blu ray support. The only device I own that works with 3D blu ray players is the glasses free 3D TV. Nothing else does which is super disappointing

@@josh_3D it really is. Great channel by the way. It’s a real problem that is sure hampering this product. Need a Blu-ray drive that you can access like a NAS drive. Could you plug a Blu-ray drive into a NAS drive. Not sure on that. Or somehow a wireless HDMI sender to the tablet? Surely some tech guru could come up with something. There was a time when you could always find a chinese gadget to do the job you need, but these days you can’t.

It definitely doesn’t increase resolution. But the resolution holds up in 3D, even against some of the really good glasses free 3D displays (which also obviously drop in resolution in 3D mode). Brightness takes a pretty big hit, which is the biggest complaint I have with the screen protector.

For now only for iPhone, but it’s technically possible to make them for other smartphones

Unfortunately it won’t work from what I’m told

Should be on the way! Definitely let us know what you think once you get yours and experience a bunch of good 3D images and videos on it!

Funnily enough, it arrived this morning. Quite impressive although I do feel like I’m getting a bit of eye strain when using the phone normally and when looking at text on screen you can definitely see the film on top but it’s hardly noticeable. Looking forward to seeing how this affects my phone usage over the next week. Thanks so much for making these available!

I think you are right, it was because of the HDR being on. Yours should be arriving soon! It would be great to hear what you think after you have spent some time using it

Me too. I think it will come to some android flagships, but not all. And a 3D protection screen for foldables right now is unfortunately technically impossible.

I just checked and I think you are right about HDR! I wasn't happy with Spatial Camera either, so I've been using Spatialify which got a lot of updates and to me is good enough for what the iPhone stereo camera can do.

Does it still work for 3D and where is it cracked? After your post I ordered a wallet type case to protect everything. Another $30. Update: Put in new flip case which has a stand function, lanyard and flip cover. Much better protection and now it makes it easier to hold while filming.

Sorry that yours cracked, that is too bad. If you still had it do you think you would be using it often? How did you like it before that happened?

@@josh_3D Well - this answer is more for the YT algorithm - but since I have a bunch of - let's call it "bigger size alternatives" 😉, I would only use the screen protector for showcasing anyway. Nevertheless I regret not being able to further spread the glasses less 3D virus with my iPhone to others anymore😂🤜

Hey, the first thing that must be done is remove any existing screen protector you already have on. It can't be used in combination with other screen protectors. It is also necessary to take off the case, like the one I have on my phon when you apply the protector.

I get the impression that everything is designed for only two specific phones.

@fgerv Yeah. That probably true. Likely determined by its PPI.

If you do a direct comparison, the Lume Pad 2 is brighter and more crisp, but this is actually very close in terms of 3D resolution and sharpness. The screen protector actually has much less crosstalk/ghosting than the Lume Pad 2 when comparing images prone to cross talk.

It can work for multiple viewers at the same time with head tracking turned off if everyone is in the correct position. I don't think the company offers uncut sheets and I don't know if the material needs to be customized beyond just size to work. It may come to iPads in the future though

I am trying to compare the LP2 and its apples and oranges due to the different environments and screen sizes. At this point I like both and would not sell my LP2. It just adds more functionality to my iPhone that I have with me all the time. It makes it more convent to view 3d photos I take and that adds value to me. I would tend to watch a 3d movie on the LP2 or with Viture glasses.

I still think it feels awesome but I see what you are saying. I also can’t wait for technology that supports extreme pop out like that comfortably without glasses

Yes there is a lot in the app. They just mean you don’t need special glasses to see the 3D effect. They call it a film, but it’s just like a regular screen protector. The medical stuff is not 100% proven and accepted as a medical method to improve eyesight, but there was an article published in a reputable scientific journal showing promising results for children with developmental eyesight disorders. It could theoretically work to exercise the focus and eye health of adults too. The one thing this screen protector can’t ever replace is the good camera on the LP2.

@@josh_3D I film bands with both the LP2 and my iPhone 15 pro max. I prefer the form factor of the iPhone for 3d and always have it on me. I have a gimbal so that is the one I move around with. When I get my iPhone set up I will have another way to share 3d.

Thanks for watching and ordering the screen protector! Any photos you take with the Lume Pad 2 just need to be “shared” one at a time from Leia Player as SBS output. You can share to Google drive, then download to your iPhone photo album. Then all you need to do is open the photos in the app 3Dfan and you can view in 3D. If you get the TV definitely let me know how you like it!

I think its a combination of both. There are multiple zones that allow you to see the 3D image within that specific range, and for each of those zones there are 54 views.

@@josh_3D 54 wow that’s a lot! so does it appear to move when you move, like looking around an object?

Exactly, I filmed it up close to show this difference intentionally otherwise you can’t even tell it apart from a regular 2D TV when filmed from the correct distance 3.5-4 meters back. Up close you end up getting some overlap of the left and right views. As you suggested I’m going to experiment with capturing it in 3D

@@josh_3D Great! :) Perhaps you have some time to create stereoscopic videos of all 3D devices in action to see the quality of the 3D optics.

Some of us missed out on 3d TV's so yeah the choice is obvious

Its an experimental channel where I post 3D videos. Many of them are me just practicing editing or testing 3D conversion quality of existing videos. It would be great to have feedback though like on the newest one. No one has commented, and its the first video I've filmed and fully edited in 3D taken on the iPhone 15 Pro. czcams.com/video/bh3UwzmnpJY/video.html

I'm assuming that any signal that can be sent trough an hdmi source can be upscaled to 3D.

It's not passing through another device, so DRM wouldn't even come into play. It can do that to whatever is on screen.
