Apple’s iPhone Spatial Video on Vision Pro Wowed Me: Here’s What to Know

It’s in public beta now, but you need an iPhone 15 Pro to use it. And you won’t get to see it in 3D until you get a Vision Pro… but I got an early look at it. Subscribe to CNET: Never miss a deal again! See CNET’s browser extension 👉 Check out CNET’s Amazon…

    Hmmm… come on Sony, make viewing widely accessible across devices as possible or watch it go the way of the Betamax. 🦬

    I’m still curious if the VisionPro will still use the M2 chip even tho the M3 is out!🤔

    Is this thing going to have a way to do video in? Everyone is saying how it can replace a tv but is that only going to be with apple’s walled garden apps? (No ps5, apps outside apples App Store etc)

    Are the video files saved in a standard format? In other words, could the stereoscopic video be played elsewhere? Or are they proprietary and limited to Apple’s hardware?

      Standard format, u actually can play them everywhere

    • Soundpulse

      November 10, 2023 at 7:00 pm

      MV-HEVC. Its standard but not many players out there taking advantage of the 3D metadata. You can play it as a regular HEVC on other media players and it will function as a regular 2D video.

    Imagine in the future Apple create a generative environment based on the spatial video in the future, allowing you to relive experiences in the moment.

    For this techie normal the only reason I moved from my now backup Apple iPhone 11 Pro to the Apple iPhone 15 Pro was that some day I will be able to record in “Spatial Video”. Recording family events for posterity one of the things I looked hard at was new “Spatial Video” feature in the Apple iPhone Pro lineup that is coming out latter this fall.

    Have to hopes for “Spatial Video” are that it is out by Christmas, and that I will be able to record directly to an external storage device.

    Will it be used in the future by my descendants? Never know, however, would’ve liked to had stereo optic photographs of my relatives from the past. Nice to know that I will give my descendants that option.

    Now down the road Vision Pro might be in my future. Just like the Apple McIntosh was back in 1984.

    Love it when you young people talk about the high price of Apple products. Steve Jobs ­unveiled the first Mac I ever owned the 1984 Apple Macintosh computer with at $2,500.00 US price tag. Today adjusted for inflation cost of that original 1984 Apple McIntosh would be $7,405.90 US in October 2023.

    I can see a possibility that this may become my daily driver when it comes to content consumption, and my communication with the outside world. Via eMail, IM/Text messaging, and making and receiving phone calls even with FaceTime type conversations.

    I’ll be sure to record some special moments on my phone for this feature over the years. And maybe in a decade or so when the Vision Pro is more affordable it will be really awesome to look back at the videos I took. Maybe make them more special when I can finally view them.

  12. Tobias Brage

    November 10, 2023 at 4:13 pm

    i’m just gonna always record with this enabled so when I in the future is gonna get a Apple Vision Pro headset when it drops in price or a few generations in the future I will have all these videos from vacations and such already with depth.

  13. Greg Ciallella

    November 10, 2023 at 4:24 pm

    Thank you for the video. You mention the amazing screen on the Apple Pro. How does it compare to the Quest 3? Is it that much better in real world situations??

    I’ll admit that I’m disappointed here. “Spatial video” seems to imply MORE than simply your standard stereoscopic side-by-side 3D video (although that IS a great feature). The Pro model also has a Lidar scanner, so I was hoping this was an included PART of the Spatial video recording. I’m hoping maybe there is still more to it than what was said in this video.

    Secondly, it would NOT be difficult to implement some interesting ways to use this depth data for playback on an iPhone. For example, while watching the video, if you were to twist the iPhone back and forth, it could be used to snap between different angles of the video, showing off some of that depth information. Hopefully this is a possibility moving forward.

    I will record in this new format exclusively once it’s out. I can always up-res or up-rate the quality past 1080p30 via AI interpolation afterwards. If it can be edited in FCPX then it should be viewable in on a Mac via Final Cut (as standard stereoscopic and “VR” video can already be in FCPX via stereoviewers and anaglyph).

    Clever software design down the line could increase the resolution and/or framerate – but first they need to get the first iteration out the door.

    Who REALLY should consider purchasing one? Is there a possibility that this might replace a laptop for productivity?

    I dream, as a digital nomad, of having full functionality and benefits of a M’X’ processor inside one of these and being able to use it anywhere… to do anything

    November 10, 2023 at 8:33 pm

    introducing iPhone 16 pro where all videos are auto cinematic and 3D video where you can edit in post…just like photos that are auto portrait with adjustable depth or focus in post. No need to think or switch between presets

      Not without a hack.

    What’s the difference between spatial video and regular 3D video? Does spatial video show parallax effects (a change in perspective if you move side to side)?

    • YSDC

      November 10, 2023 at 10:59 pm

      As it stands, Mic, just a name (people see “3D!” and yawn/think “poor/painful gimmick effect”). It’s currently a straightforward stereoscopic video rather than 6-DOF.

    • Alan Moore

      November 10, 2023 at 11:15 pm

      It is 3D video not volumetric or light field capture.

      They need the monied pioneers first to kick the tyres, and there’s plenty of those. The First Gen will always be a collector’s piece (as is a boxed First Gen iPhone today).

    What file format is it and it should be possible to play on third party VR setup even with some software right?

    • Javier Yunes

      November 10, 2023 at 9:42 pm

      No chance, but hopefully yes… 😅

    • YSDC

      November 10, 2023 at 10:20 pm

      MV- HEVC stereo, and yes, it just needs to be hacked / retro engineered (I doubt anything official).

    Other phones 2 years ago: 3D videos
    iPhone today: we have invented a new feature called spatial video.

    • LYTE Yearz

      November 11, 2023 at 11:48 am

      True lol but it’s a “new” feature if it hasn’t been offered on a platform you’ve invested in. Amazon Prime offering {X} sounds good but doesn’t mean much to a Netflix subscriber.

    The Design of this glasses it’s BAD

  27. Max Rossi

    November 11, 2023 at 2:12 am

    I would guess that they are using the outer edges of each sensor (since it’s a 1080p crop) in order to increase the “distance” between the cameras. I think a lot of people were curious how they would be able to get a 3d effect when the cameras are millimeters apart, which shouldn’t be enough to actually replicate the 2 eyes POV.

    I think this is how they got around it, by taking the leftmost part from one camera and the rightmost part of the other one, but the tradeoff is, that as its a crop, they couldn’t do it in 4k. Just my theory.

  28. Bernardo Guerrero Valenzuela

    November 11, 2023 at 3:32 am

    I mean, those glasses are halfway to the vision pro size. Nothing but love, my friend.

    Right now I can’t see myself using these googles. I won’t wear a watch, why would I wear a set of googles on my face. In addition I wear glasses for close items. I don’t have to wear them for TV. IN other words, googles aren’t the future. A projector is.

    So the blurriness of spacial video, is it to allow for multiple viewing angles, what makes it particularly spacial then just plain stereoscopic 3-D, is there AI processing that gives you multiple viewing angles than just looking straight on?

  32. Michael Ghinelli

    November 11, 2023 at 9:05 am

    Great Video as always. Being in the industry have you heard any leaks about the “estimated” official release date of the Vision Pro

    Exciting stuff. We are living in the technology

    YES Apple please use spatial video to kill off vertical video once and for all.

    I wish you described more what 1080p at 30fps looked like, as well as the QUALITY of the 3D/stereoscopic. Was it like the first few iterations of Portrait mode photos where it actually wasn’t that great, and it’ll take hardware and software improvements over the next few years for it to be really good (with 4k and higher fps definitely, but just in general is it very first-gen). Or, like the Facebook 3D photos that just blur areas, which also are not that great (which presumably is why I don’t see them used that much anymore). In other articles it seemed like more limitations such as no color corrections like Apple log, and in screenshots of the UI it reads “Photos app on Apple Vision Pro” meaning they can only be viewed in the VisionOS Photos app (which hopefully an API will enable other apps to use someday)?

    They already show 3d like videos on Facebook (etc…) using the phone accelerometer. Not 3d but you would be able to see the effect. That would help boost the number of these kinds of videos.
