@Surf Monkey The only way they could lock it down would be if Apple applied DRM to all videos that people shot on their phone. Can you imagine the fallout if Apple started DRM-locking people's own content that they created themselves? That would be insane.
Got a tip for us?

That’s weird for them to do that especially since they mentioned letting you edit spatial videos in the future
Have you used any vr yourself , we only got two eyes you know, you guys act like it’s unique lots of things apple says is new is not really new and have been done for quite a long time
Well said. If spatial videos can be exported for editing, you be able to put them into a folder/app and view them on any VR/AR headset.
This will be good for customers who want to consume 3D videos but have zero interest in spatial computing for $3,500. If Disney and other movie studios are currently converting some of their films to 3D, then I expect them to reap the capital investment back by also making that format available on other headsets.
Apple might pay for a time limited exclusivity but I expect that 3D content and video will not be exclusive to Apple Products. Samsungs next flagship phone will likely record spatial videos too.
The micro-OLED screens in the Vision Pro are made by Sony, who will supply them to other consumer electronics brands. VR/AR will be a booming category and there will be Samsung/Android based versions that might not offer the same magic as Apple but will enable you to consume YouTube, Netflix and play AR/VR games for much less than the Vision Pro.
Thank you for sharing our fun little experiment. For anyone want to try it, we also make a short tutorial on YouTube here:
You think the spactialify app will be able to figure out how to merge both including the wide lens atm both camera videos are being merged under the aspect ratio of the main lens and not the wide lens
? The extra image data from the wide angle lens has to be thrown away. You can't "merge" two mismatching images
For the 1000th time...NO THEY ARE NOT. You cannot "look around" these videos, not even on an Apple Vision Pro headset. That's not how it works. There have been plenty of people who have tried it and written about it. You're just misunderstanding it entirely.
All it is is like a floating movie theater screen in front of your face that's playing a 3D video (just like you see in the movie theater). Sure, you can "walk around" the movie theater screen just as you can walk around a movie theater screen in real life, but you're not seeing anything different in the 3D image. You're not seeing any extra viewpoints in the actual 3D image. It's not volumetric video like a hologram.
Clearly Apple’s marketing hype is working if everyone thinks they’ve invented the SBS 3D/VR180 format.
