I hope they make a video on their site so we can get an idea of how this would look.
That would make too much sense!
There is one other video so far on youtube, but it is in German. Verdammt!
If you search in the market, they have a video in English. I watched it from my phone & it's not in 3D, which sucks.
I believe the Evo 3D's parallax barriers only work/are aligned when the phone is in the horizontal position. Does that change anything?I have SPB Shell 3D. I love it.
However, the 3D doesn't work. Not sure what the heck they're talking about claiming it's stereoscopic 3D, but it is not. It's listed in the experimental section, which claims it is for features that aren't yet ready for prime time, so hopefully they fix it someday.
I can't see any stereoscopic 3D at all, and when I slide to a different panel, I then see the top layer slide first and the bottom layer gets dragged behind it, one red and one blue or green or something. That probably makes no sense but if you ever see it you'll know what I mean.
I turned off the stereoscopic 3D feature because it sucks. But the launcher itself is way better than Sense, and I run it and would recommend it to anyone. $15 is high, I agree, but the product is top notch.

The red and cyan layering suggests that their 3d is anaglyph, requiring colored glasses to work.
And to clarify, anaglyph certainly qualifies as stereoscopic. Any 3D format that utilizes a stereo pair of images is considered stereoscopic. Anaglyph is simply a method of displaying the stereoscopic images.
1) viewing in 3D uses roughly the same power as viewing in 2D. There would be no signficant tax on battery life when the parallax barrier is engaged. The exception is when live view is on, for example, in the camera app, barcode scanning app, etc. That takes a lot of processing power and is a known battery hog not only for phones, but for dedicated cameras and videocams.

What I'd like to know is why HTC didn't come out with this from the get go. The rotating carousel and other home screens are nice, but I would have preferred them be in sterioscopic 3D, to accentuate the 3D experience they're promoting for our 3DVO.
As for the price, it comes with the territory of having expensive hardware.
