so I've got here a tablet that has really surprised me exceeded my expectations I'm
someone that was before until I tested this that thought that 3D was kind of on the way
out the 3D TVs the Nintendo 3DS poor kind of quality screens and nothing that would
really be that interesting right but this truly is the the next step in Innovation I
think after testing this out now it's from a company called layer Incorporated and this
is their lume pad 2 and it has an amazing screen so it's 2560 by 1600 resolution 12.4
inches and using this stereoscopic front-facing camera with real-time AI face tracking it
delivers a super immersive and pretty much amazing 3D image to you that you just wouldn't
expect I know I was completely blown away by the quality of it now it is the world's
first AI powered tablet too they've got a lot of apps on here that I'll be running through
in this video that take a advantage of the AI and we do have a 3D camera setup so stereoscopic
camera that you can take 3D photos we've even got 3D chat you can generate your own AI generated
images too as well you just feed it in the information you want for example here I said
a person walking in a mystic forest and it generated this amazing looking 3D image for
me now this tablet does have some very good specs to it so Power by Snapdragon Triple
Eight it's got eight gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage the battery that
is inside this unique body housing here made of metal feels very good so it is 9270 milliamp
hours that battery which will go for around about seven eight hours depending on the use
your screen brightness of course and it does support 35 watt charging now you see here
we do have a camera now it's not a typical setup because of the 3D it needs to have two
cameras in there so it's stereoscopic there and we're looking at the rear cameras here
16 megapixel units right there with a wide 77 degree field of view both of them F 1.85
there is a microphone here so this part is metal two as well we do have the layer logo
here for the Lumi pad 2. the thickness is approximately about nine millimeters and we're
looking at a tablet that weighs about 780 grams it feels very solid really well made
and put together so here we do have our tray there for the micro SD card great to see this
is on board so you can expand upon the storage with it just slot that back in we've got two
microphones volume up and down and this is our capacitive always on fingerprint reader
all you need to do is just tap it with the finger you have scanned like right now and
then it unlocks it took about uh two seconds there to do that there's also face unlocking
with the front stereoscopic cameras too now the front cameras both of these units here
are eight megapixels and they do have a slightly wider field of view than the rear cameras
it's 105 degrees with these two Pogo Port pin connector here down the bottom and this
is for a stand that you can get for it which is optional and there's also an optional case
left and right you will find dual speakers so we have four in total and they are very
loud I'll give you a sample of just what they sound like later on in this video now what
we have here is anything but a normal tablet screen I mean when I just read out the specs
to you so we've got 12.4 inch size screen it is fully laminated optically bonded there's
no ugly gap resolutions 2560 by 1600 so it's sharp it's bright and I'll just show you a
crank this brightness right up very powerful screen and the sharpness going to be perfect
of course for the 3D and this is where it just ends as being a normal tablet display
because it is anything but that we have of course 3D now they're using a special layer
on top of this which is their own proprietary layers so they're using nanotechnology and
they call it their DBL layer so what it is doing is refracting the image and it's converting
it to make it on the fly into 3D now they've got something here which is called layer player
here just open that up and here's a 3D image because it just didn't detect my face I'll
put it into 2D now at the moment so with the camera it's going to detect my face there
in real time using AI because it's got AI built into this particular tablet as well
it will then convert this from 2D to 3D so I'll just put into 3D now when I lift it up
and it detects my face which is now it's then gone over into 3D and it looks absolutely
amazing now when I first saw this I was blown away by the clarity the quality and just how
much of a 3D image this really looks like because this is popping out like it literally
almost I can grab these astronauts now it's hard for me to portray this and to get this
across when of course this is shot in 2D you have to be in person you have to look at it
but let me tell you that this is no joke here this 3D technology from them is amazing finding
some proper Innovation coming through with tablets and I've shown this to my kids with
a lot of different images and they've seen this and they've gone um they've gone to go
and grab the actual images that stands out that much they've been like me just blown
away with and everyone when they first see this in the first moment you almost need to
capture their faces with a camera and record it and I really wish I did with my daughters
because they went wow they were absolutely just like everyone completely surprised by
how good it looks forget about the 3D TVs wearing glasses through 3D cinema Nintendo
3DS it's nothing think like that so these images look some of them you're looking at
right now are also generated by AI their ohm application which I'll get into shortly which
is layer dream so this is using AI to generate these images and they're 3d2 as well so there's
a lot of different uses this is not just a tablet for viewing basic made 3D images no
it's far more in depth than that and they've got so many different applications which I'll
be going through so let me Pad 2 does have all your standard Android options here for
the display which is great I'm a bit of a display geek you could say I love to tweak
things in white balance and all that's there scaling is there too now by default the refresh
rate isn't 120 hertz it's on auto so we'll automatically scale there just to save on
a better battery but I've forced it for to 120 or you could put it on to 60 if you really
needed to save on your battery there now other options there they're all pretty standard
of course dark mode and everything now the gestures just damn trading game they work
really well and we do have what is basically a stock launcher here and I like this I don't
like to see bloated third-party launchers that slow things down no the performance the
animations and just the response to touch is excellent with this tablet and I like this
move I think it was very wise of them just to keep it stock and basic here and not complicate
things now I like what I'm seeing from Leia here that they simply haven't put out this
fantastic Hardware screen and then decided oh yeah you know application support um don't
worry about that they don't really back it up which a lot of companies make that error
that they just put out this fantastic hardware and then that's it no not with Leia because
they have their own specific apps to take advantage of all these cool features with
this particular tablet so the AI the 3D this is their App Store here which is called layer
App Store and I'll just show you that when you swipe down here for toggles that there
are automatic updates which is good it devises me here that I've got some new versions of
their apps that I have downloaded so they've got their own player so this is specific to
of course converting things into 3D so from 2D to 3D I showed you some of that before
actually with that and I'll get on to that too later in the video what we can do converting
using the AI 2D to 3D so your full like Content Library of movies YouTube things like that
can all be converted and it's pretty clever so I'll get on to some of that soon their
chat app here so you can have 3D chat conversations you're using the stereoscopic cameras of course
and there is a frame so that is basically like a slide so slideshow here that you can
start now I've got a few photos that have already taken and again just describe what
these look like that when you do have the 3D enabled like here it looks like a flat
image right you're thinking that's not that impressive but you can see my cat here very
when you're looking at in the 3D she just comes out at you the strands of grass are
sticking out it's amazing the quality of the camera again this is something else too the
cameras the stereoscopic camera especially that rear one the 16 megapixels high-res photos
it just looks amazing the clarity how clear everything is and the three-dimensional aspect
which of course you can't see being 2D here at the moment but again trust me it's it just
will blow you away with how good it is so another one I wanted to show you here too
as well is very cool now this is we've been having a lot of fun with this which is layer
dream so this is using their own AI generator okay so this is specific to the tablet this
is something that is unique and there's a big thing right 2023 is all about Ai and this
you can just give it a suggestion here so there's one already there so I think I I wanted
to test out something or just talk to it Tech YouTuber
okay it said take that's my New Zealand accent I'll just type that bit in manually let's
get it to dream so it's going to generate that using the AI and it's come up with some
very cool images it does take a little while oh there we go okay so that's the ai's idea
of a tech YouTuber which yeah I kind of agree with that look at the guy like he's he's using
VR and he's got so many camera rigs set up here on gimbals although this one looks weird
it's kind of hovering but that's interesting now of course the more specific you are the
cooler kind of images you do get now I did test that one before and this is one of them
that I've saved or kept here in history and I like this one looks pretty amazing so again
that's like a tech YouTuber what it thinks we are where we like and I thought it was
pretty funny now of course you turn this into 3D and again it it looks really good like
this guy's hand is coming right out the camera is coming out at the screen when you do have
it and of course I've got this toggle right here so it hasn't gone over into 3D mode because
it hasn't detected their uh my face which is normal because I'm recording all of this
now my daughter said a what was it a unicorn cat uh and it came out and generated this
which is a bit weird we've got five legs to it but hey it got the Unicorn it got the colors
and everything else and there's an air up there but again if you're more specific you
can have a lot of fun trust me a lot of fun with this what was one of the other ones I
said a distant solar system I think it was something like that and that came up with
a pretty cool looking image as well so you can spend hours on this and it's all in 3D
too again and this was a monkey's big monkeys riding a bike or something I think my daughter
said um and it came out with this a bike with two monkeys or three monkeys it depends on
how you look at it so lots of fun to be had with with this app now this is a layer tube
which is a another course one of the applications so these are some videos here that have already
been all converted so they're in 3D and when you enable that again there's they're fantastic
and it's super immersive when you look at that so there's a really cool thing that I'll
get on to that I absolutely love so all existing content for example YouTube I'll go into where
is my YouTube right here bring this up my own video okay of a scooter review that I've
just recently done now if I share this I can then go here to more and add that I want to
share this to layer tube now you'll see how fast this is what it's doing is it's using
the AI Veron AI to convert this from 2D into 3D now I've tested this out before
e-bike and they do also well those speakers are loud um okay I need the face tracking
but then when you look at this I'll just bring it up and get it to detect my face is really
coming out at me and like what I'm talking here in front okay just there in front of
the port with the castle in the background like I stand right out of the screen so this
is super useful that all the existing contents so just we're talking about thousands of videos
and things you can then use to convert with the AI here convert that all into 3D so it's
not like we're left high and dry and we just start with 2D content no all the 2D stuff
you can convert that over so that's really handy and useful another interesting app to
use is the layer flicks right here so as the name suggests that's for your movies Blockbusters
and all that sort of stuff and this one too so viewer just go into this I've got a pre-loaded
image and the camera now is detecting my face I've got 3D on so you can scale back the 3D
if you find that that's actually coming at you a little bit too much you're finding a
bit overpowering then simply just scale that up or down which is good and just to describe
that when I move this about like this sneaker is coming basically it's coming out of the
screen at me this shoelace as well looks fantastic the detail of this model sharpness is good
and then you can go over to 2D now the great thing about this is their viewer right here
is incorporated with sketchfab okay so you can access half a million free models animations
from them and you can view them you can upload your own as well and of course they're using
that AI Tech to convert those over and you get all the lighting on it everything it just
looks fantastic very handy app and the camera app here which is called layer cams this is
AI powered 3D stereoscopic photos and what I love about the camera application here is
look at that okay in the upper left hand corner that's a 3D preview there we get of it so
just take a photo of Jared Gerald now and when I look at that later on of course that's
mapped out now in 3D using the AI powered camera and 5K pixels per view too so it looks
really sharp when you preview the photos later taken with the layer camera then in terms
of performance with the Snapdragon Triple Eight you can see the antutu score is almost
800 000 points so it's fast and it can play all the latest titles out there we've got
the eight gigabytes of RAM the internal storage ufs 3.1 just very quickly just to show you
there so these speeds are great they are they're not going to hold up bottleneck this tablet
here at all so the Lumi Pad 2 has decent performance and battery life test here I just wanted to
gauge this compared to other tablets I'm reviewing so this was with the brightness set at I think
it was about uh 300 Nets that I had it at and I ran it at 120 hertz but you are looking
at around with normal kind of light use probably about seven eight hours or so so decent good
battery life out of the Lumi pad too and what about the loudspeakers then as I showed you
when we looked at the design of this tablet that there are two of them either side very
Punchy speakers they put out quite a decent volume a little bit of bass some mids in there
so here's a sample of them at a hundred percent volume they don't distort events just to give
you an idea that they are good speakers that they've used
[Music] [Applause] [Music] and of course no 3D tablet would be complete without some 3D
games and this one here which is called dungeon I tested out really good so the surrounding
walls the character and your enemies all pop out at you so it's like the 3DS from Nintendo
but on the next level and this other game I quite like too as well retro feel to it
which is called cyber cop and just running around here blasting the enemies the robots
all quite immersive because of the 3D effects so great little games just to test out the
3D and enjoy a bit of 3D gaming so of course this is really something that you do need
to experience in person and if you do get the chance if you ever go to like a tech fair
and you can get your hands on one of these Lumi pad twos just to test out just to trial
and experience for yourself that 3D trust me you are going to be pleasantly surprised
so just forget what you thought about 3D up until now because when you test this pad out
it really is coming out of the screen and everyone I've shown it to has been pleasantly
surprised and it's got that wow factor when you see this you just go whoa and it's just
amazing that they've been able to do this with tablets so I really want to see so much
more of this Tech now their application is quite useful and I do love the fact that Leia
Incorporated here just haven't pushed out the hardware and kind of just forgotten about
the software side of things and not really bothered with it because they certainly have
we've got the applications as they showed you like the viewer you can convert 2D to
3D and your videos as well so even this video that I'm watching right now it can be converted
this video that I'm making sorry into 3D and you're able to watch it in 3D and it just
adds to that level of immersion now I love the Leia dream I've been playing around with
this a lot and with my kids too it's so great you can just feed into this AI um suggestions
you just say whatever like I I said a person walking in a mystic forest and it came through
with an amazing looking generated AI generated 3D image and and that's just as particular
so it's a lot of fun to be using this and testing it out and it does have various different
uses so you've got a suite of applications they've got their 3D chat that you can use
as well so layer chat the 3D camera too as well which is very handy and it's again another
level of immersion once you try it once you test this out I really want to see a phone
with this technology I think would be great and see it in other applications like maybe
3D TVs will come back if it has this and then the of course real-time AI face tracking so
thanks so much for watching my video here on the layer Incorporated Lumi pad too it
certainly has just completely blown me away with the 3D quality and just changed my whole
perspective on 3D in general
