The best effect will be had from 3D-rendered objects. While impossible to show on video, what I can talk about is the subjective quality of the 3D effect and the screen in general.įirstly, the degree of depth effect varies significantly by app and the type of content you're viewing. I was skeptical of glasses-less display technology coming into this review, but it can be quite stunning in the right conditions. The effect wasn't nearly as pronounced nor was it as accurate as I was hoping there were certainly some glitches here and there, with fuzzy edges around objects where it could tell what the depth should be. I tried it with one of my own reviews, and to be honest, it wasn't so great. You can also share a video from the standard YouTube app directly to here and it'll automatically convert it for viewing in 3D. Open it up and you’ll see a selection of content, though even the native SBS 3D formatted content has to be run through the AI conversion algorithm. You can tilt, rotate, zoom, etc., as well as control the depth of the 3D effect. This is probably the single most compelling use-case for the Lume Pad 2, with 3D models obviously being a great match for the glasses-less display technology. LeiaViewer is a 3D model viewer with a handful of included models, and integration with Sketchfab if you want more or to view your own creations (though only a default Sketchfab email login is supported, not if you signed up via a social provider). I think a VR headset that's half the price would do a far better job.
Even if it did have sound though, I wouldn't have bothered.
LeiaPlayer certainly isn't on the same level as VLC when it comes to random codecs so that was a bit of a fail. I tried watching an SBS formatted video and to be honest the depth was very weak and there was no sound. Leia Player can play back VR180 and side-by-side (SBS) formatted videos, though you often need to specify. I tried with a family photo of sitting in some go-karts, and the depth was all wrong. It mostly works, but only on scenes were the depth is obvious. In addition, tap over to the Leia Link tab and you'll be able to access content you've uploaded from a regular smartphone with the Leia Link app, which their software can then magically transform into 3D. LeiaPlayer is an all-in-one media viewer, for your own 3D camera roll, and a nice collection of sample images.
Beyond the magical glasses-free 3D screen, the real value of the Lume Pad 2 comes from the built-in custom software.
