Geekscape Tech Review: Whoosh 3D Tempered 3D Lens and Whoosh Cardboard
I will have to say that this is some technology that I am surprised has not really taken off. It is about the Whoosh 3D, a screen protector for the iPhone, and it soon will be available for other products as well. From what I can tell, Whoosh is pretty young, as one of the products that I will be reviewing, the Whoosh VR Cardboard, doesn’t even have a website devoted to it yet. I’ve never even seen that before.
You heard me right, I said 3D. Remember 7 years ago when Avatar was really popular, and audiences were so impressed by its 3D nature? I will have to admit, the film might only be mediocre and the story is unoriginal, but at least the 3D sucked people in. After that, every film had to have a 3D option, and it was thought that this would affect the smartphone and tablet business. Heck, the tablet business didn’t even really exist in 2010.
HTC tried to capitalize on the 3D fad back in 2011 when they released the HTC EVO 3D, and it was able to show things in 3D. Why did this not take off? Why doesn’t every Apple, Android, or Windows phone have this capability?
This is where Whoosh3D comes in. This Whoosh3D is a tempered 3D lens that has high optical transparency and can make a smartphone into a 3D viewer. I had my first chance to see this technology at CES last January, and the reason why I am hesitant to report on it is because it is difficult to describe. It takes
The Whoosh 3D is able to have some serious depth control so you can watch a lot of videos with a 3D option. You can go 2D if you really want to, but who can refuse creating your own 2D videos and turn them into 3D that is glasses-free.
I am told that you can get the Whoosh 3D for smartphones for about $29.99-$34.99, and I am told it can be purchased for tablets for $59.99. The 3D app is free, and you can get more information about it here.
Now, I am going to do a report on a VR viewer from Whoosh 3D. Just to let you know, most of the time when I write about a product, even one that I am reviewing, I usually take what I see from the main site and put it in my own words. This time, I didn’t really have anything from the Whoosh main site, which is odd, to say the least.
I had a chance to try this out, and it is a VR viewer that has double clickers. In all honesty, I am not certain why anyone would need duel clickers, because of the VR programs that I tried, I couldn’t find one that practically used both of these.
Still, everyone needs to have one of these VR viewers, don’t they? You might as well have one with two clickers, because this could easily be a standard. There are even some apps that Whoosh has created for it.
I was able to find it on Argomall, and the price is ₱999.00, and I have no idea what that translates.
I believe that 2017 is when this company is going to take off, and it should be great as it does.
Also, do you want to hear more about the latest in technology? In early January, there is a big event in Las Vegas known as CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I want to go and report on it, but I need some help. I have a new GoFundMe site that will “Send Mark (me) to CES 2017”. Please click here and make a donation.
