I think that whole line of "missing out on the event" because of wearing the headset is bs. Whenever I use my iPhone to record my kids' events, I am constantly looking at the screen on my iPhone to make sure I'm capturing the whole scene correctly. How is that any different?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Vision Pro Captures 3D Spatial Videos and Photos

Too many people complaining about the size of Vision Pro for taking 3D photos and videos... guess they never experienced this tech fever also present in most birthdays around the world:
This feature would be valued by those who may miss their departed/deceased loved ones - a moment that can be relived and in a practical sense it can be a memory preserved without spin or rewriting the narrative.
Wear it at a live game, see the events in front of you, and have the stats up for the at bat players, pitcher, etc.
Its not. People want to justify what they are doing while denigrating everyone else.
Reminds me of Tom Cruise in Minority Report but without the Dork Goggles Pro.
Apple's new Vision Pro headset is equipped with an array of cameras for everything from eye scanning to gesture tracking, but it also has an external camera for capturing photos and videos.
The 3D camera on the Vision Pro takes 3D photos and records 3D videos that can be viewed back on the headset. Apple says that the feature is designed to allow users to relive their memories like never before. Standard photos from an iPhone or another device can also be viewed on the headset, but the 3D images will be much more immersive.
Spatial videos and photos are designed to have "incredible depth" according to Apple, which lets the user "see into a moment." They can be expanded and zoomed in just like a regular photo.
There is a button at the top of the headset that is designed to let users capture spatial videos or photos, and while recording is ongoing, the headset's external display flashes with an animation that lets the people around you know that video is being recorded.
With the recording indicator, no one will be able to use Vision Pro record video or take images in secret, which is a problem that prior headsets have faced. Google Glass, Google's now-defunct AR smart glasses, allowed for surreptitious photo and video recording in public spaces. Google came under fire for its capabilities, and some businesses even began banning the use of Google Glass.
It is not clear if Apple will face some of the same issues with Vision Pro, but it at least makes it clear when a video is being recorded thanks to the unique external display. It's also not as lightweight and wearable as Google Glass, so it is unlikely many people will be wearing the Vision Pro out in public.

I would like to get this when they are down to the size of lenses I can put in my normal glasses frames. I don't need to wait for contact lens size.
It is able to scan your face for your avatar, so it should be able to take a selfie although that function may be disabled.
What about those who film their kids with their iPhones or other video cameras? Are they also destroying their kids' lives? I love the MR philosophers.
Yeah, sunglasses with 16ms lag, no transparency, a 2 hour battery life, and you can’t take them off in direct sunlight or you’ll burn the screens out. Just like sunglasses.
Please don’t try to drive in these…
Yeah, but knowing
& their love of dongles/adapters, it's not like they could bring out an attachment that makes all previous iPhones capable, like this for example?
How about hiring a professional ("Pro") to take a bunch of Spatial Photos and Videos of a wedding?
I would guess that iPhones in a few years will be able to take Spatial Photos™ and Videos™... they already have like 3+ cameras on them right? And lidar
