Apple Unveils Spatial Video Recording on iPhone 15 Pro Models
Apple rolled out iOS 17.2, bringing a fresh feature to iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users: the ability to record 'spatial video' Described as a groundbreaking capability, spatial video allows users to capture significant moments and later revisit those memories on Apple Vision Pro. This innovative feature is set to be accessible in the early months of the upcoming year.
"We’re setting a new bar for what’s possible, enabling users to record special moments just as they happened. Spatial videos are magical, and we can’t wait for users to experience them on Apple Vision Pro early next year", Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, said in a statement.
Utilizing the sophisticated camera systems of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, users can now employ spatial video recording to immortalize their cherished moments in three dimensions. These videos are recorded in 1080p at 30 frames per second, adhering to the standard dynamic range. The process of capturing spatial videos on an iPhone is just as straightforward as recording regular videos on the device.
"With the Camera app open in Video mode, rotate the iPhone to landscape orientation, tap the spatial video icon, and then tap record. iPhone starts recording video from both the advanced Main and Ultra Wide cameras, and scales the field of view from the Ultra Wide camera to match that of the Main camera, which is then saved into a single video file", the company explained.
Additionally, users can conveniently locate all their spatial videos in a newly created Spatial album within the Photos app. Furthermore, the synchronization of these spatial videos across devices is seamlessly facilitated through iCloud. When viewed on Apple Vision Pro, these videos can be played back in a window or expanded into an immersive view, providing a transportive experience that allows users to revisit significant moments, such as festive occasions with friends or memorable family gatherings.
