Recently, iOS has been updated to the latest iOS version 17.2. This version brings spatial video recording functionality to iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users. Users can capture precious moments in life through this new feature and relive these scenes on the upcoming Apple Vision Pro.
"The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are equipped with the most powerful camera system we have developed so far, presenting top-notch video quality on the iPhone." Apple's Senior Vice President of Global Marketing, Greg Joswiak, pointed out, "Now we have defined a whole new possible field."
Users only need to open the space video in the settings to shoot in 3D through iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The shooting specifications for space videos are 1080p, 30 frames per second, and standard dynamic range is used. With advanced computing video shooting technology and HEVC compression, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can present unique spatial memories in smaller file sizes.
During shooting, users can open the camera app, select video mode, turn their iPhone horizontally, tap the Space Video icon, and then tap the Record button. The iPhone will start recording videos through both the main camera and the ultra wide angle camera simultaneously, and the field of view captured through the ultra wide angle camera will automatically be adjusted to match the size of the main camera, and then both will be saved as one video file.
On iPhones and other devices, space videos will be presented in the form of regular 2D videos, which can also be watched and shared through various apps like other videos. Users can find all the space videos they have taken in the new "Space" album in the Photo App, and all space videos can be synchronized on other devices with the same account through iCloud.
On Apple Vision Pro, spatial videos can be played back through the window. Some analysts believe that Apple's launch of the shooting space video feature on the iPhone at this time may mean that Apple's new product form, the Apple Vision Pro, will soon be officially launched.
At the WWDC23 held in June this year, Apple brought this brand new MR device. Apple CEO Cook's evaluation of this product is that it will lead us into the era of spatial computing. This product focuses on the 3D interactive experience, and users can immerse themselves in the fun of 3D space through their eyes, gestures, or language conversations.
