Dynamic Head Tracking + AR

[PeterRollback]

So Im aware that head tracking makes it so that sound is coming from the opposite direction of where ever your head is facing.
However, I noticed a weird bug that I thought was pretty interesting.

If you visit https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-series-7/ and view the new watch in Object mode (within AR), while listening to a song on AirPods Pro - then the music will actually rotate as you’re rotating the watch in AR mode/ view. Try it and let me know if it works for you on iOS 15.

I can view the watch in AR, but the music stops. Re-enabling the music essentially breaks the AR.

I swear I was able to get dynamic head tracking working with AirPods Pro on the YouTube app (iPad Pro 2021), but I can't seem to replicate today.

Interesting… Are you on the AR or Object tab? I failed to mention that it is specifically on the Object tab.

I tried both. I assumed you were referring to the Object tab, so that’s where I tried it the most.

Wow I wish I wasn’t the only one. Must be some weird bug but it’s happening on both my iPad and iPhone (both on 15.0.1).

Do you have Spatialize Audio/Stero enabled when trying this as well? I assume you do but just in case.
