A Apple provided an exclusive preview of the space videos to a select group of journalists, after releasing the feature in the second beta of iOS 17.2. The display included 3D videos recorded on iPhone 15 Prohighlighting the potential of this long-awaited technology.
Participants were able to not only record, but also watch the videos in 3D using the Vision Pro headset, writing about the experience afterwards. One of those present in the tests he was Joanna Sterndo Wall Street Journal.
Stern shared his experience and expressed optimism about the feature’s popularity, suggesting that more people could choose to record 3D videos with their iPhones instead of the headset itself.
During the demo, I filmed a sushi chef holding a piece of sushi. When watching on the Vision Pro, the sushi and chopsticks actually looked 3D. They were clearly in the foreground, hovering closer to me than the rest of the image. Of course, the lighting was perfect during recording — we’ll have to see how it fares in less ideal conditions.
Other participants, including Scott Stein (and CNET)praised the vividness of the footage on the Vision Pro. Stein, although disappointed by the lack of 4K recording, acknowledged the quality and resolution of the headset, anticipating future improvements.
Lance Ulanoffdo TechRadar, identified spatial video as the headset’s main feature, praising the ease of recording. He emphasized Apple’s recommendation to hold the iPhone horizontally for best results.
In fact, filming them in situations where you know you might not be able to keep the phone level, like in an action scene, might be a bad idea. Mostly this concerns the experience of watching the final product on the Vision Pro headset — too much movement in a 3D video just inches from your face can cause discomfort.
Although space videos are currently limited to Full HD (1080p) resolution at 30 frames per second — and an estimated consumption of 130MB of storage for each minute captured —, the TechRadar sees them as a compelling reason to consider Vision Pro.
Despite the limitation of editing videos exclusively on Vision Pro or iPhone, Maçã ensured that compatibility with the Final Cut Pro will be introduced in 2024 — but did not specify when this should arrive.
The mixed reality (AR/VR) headset is scheduled to be launched early next year, and the anticipation surrounding its capabilities has many of the brand’s fans eager to try it out; the device, however, will cost from US$3,500 in the United States.
