Here'due south a corking app for your Windows Phone. HoloPhone 3D combines games and interactive displays to bring a decent 3D experience to the Windows Phone.

A recent update to HoloPhone 3D also adds an interactive winter snow globe into the mix just in fourth dimension for the Holidays.

When yous first launch HoloPhone 3D yous'll need to go through a series of calibrations and tutorial screens. In one case consummate, you're taken to a primary menu with options to access interactive 3D scenes, 3D turntable models, a gallery of withal images, and two mini-games.

HoloPhone 3D Menu

The interactive and turntable options presents y'all with a series of 3D scenes that can be manipulated by impact. For example you lot take a 3D pair of dice that y'all can toss around or a 3D model of the World and moon that you lot tin spin around.

The gallery is a collection of four 3D pictures that y'all can view from various angles past tilting your telephone. The 2 mini-games includes Marble Maze where you tilt your phone to navigate a marble from 1 bespeak to another and Asteroid Attack where y'all swipe at incoming asteroids to destroy them before they smack into the World.

HoloPhone 3D Screens

All in all, HoloPhone 3D performed well. Graphics are nice and the interaction adequately smooth. I say adequately smooth because at times the app is tedious to load and at times, the screen seems to exist overly sensitive resulting in accidentally pressing dorsum buttons.

The best mode to view HoloPhone 3D is directly overhead to get the total 3D effects. Otherwise the graphics tend to migrate toward the top of the screen. The mini-games were decent with Marble Maze being the best of the ii. I liked the concept of Asteroid Assail but the asteroids were ofttimes indestructible regardless of how many times you lot swiped at them.

HoloPhone 3D definitely illustrates the potential of your Windows Phone graphics. While information technology is a neat app with a decent level of coolness, some that neatness seems to wear off afterward a while. Don't go me incorrect, HoloPhone 3D is a squeamish Windows Phone app. The graphics are cool to look at and mess with just yous can only spin a Frankenstein head so much. If the Asteroid Attack game was more responsive or another game was added, the depict to HoloPhone 3D probably would concluding longer. Luckily, there is a trial version bachelor for HoloPhone 3D and then you can give information technology a try earlier paying the $.99 for the total version.

You can find HoloPhone 3D here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.
