This will be incredible for capturing memories, especially of special moments with family/friends. I can’t imagine the emotion of seeing your grandparents or parents in spatial video, as if they’re in your space again. This is something I am very grateful for and will not take for granted.
I can and I have over a decade ago. It is more of an annoyance than something practical. Just like when you view 3D movies it seems cool but after a while, you do not notice the difference.
@@lSeKToRlcope harder. Preordering tomorrow morning at 5Am baby.
In 3d and I have 2 3d camcorders from like 10 years ago. 😂 did you miss all the 3d tvs at Best Buy and Costco a few years ago? Or are you like 5 in which case makes sense
@@MikAnimalyour child like grammar makes you out to be “like 5”😂
I experienced this over the weekend this is next level .....Nexxxxxxt level!
I’ve been a fan of the concept of 3d capture since I had my HTC Evo 3D but the tech just wasn’t there and it was gimmicky at best. The Vision Pro is the first time I’ve been genuinely excited to see how it plays out. The potential uses for memories, mapping, therapy, crime scene capture, mechanical assistance, etc… is just going to be amazing. Many of us can only see this through the lens of experiences had but somewhere there is going to be some kid who gets this and dreams up a use case that will change the course of film making or human interaction and shared experiences. Truly an exciting time to be alive and see the potential birth of a new standard in tech.
3d stereoscopic camera stuff has been around for a long time. They made more than just that phone back then.. they made many cameras as well. Tech was plenty there for capture.
Like then it’s still an issue of audience. This is no better unless all phones go passive 3d for multi viewers and or headsets become the mainstream and they are years behind that if ever.
Im excited about the headset replacing TV/projectors. I have a big home theater setup that cost so much to create over 10 years. The idea that a headset could easily replicate a giant IMAX screen that's also got all the benefits of OLED has me excited
I’m a dad of three. I’m genuinely excited to be an early adopter of this tech to capture moments in a more immersive way.
Bridgett it is good to see that you are keeping up with the current technology - your new iPhone 15.
You can watch these videos on 3-D TVs and 3-D projectors right now. Yep, I have an awesome 3-D compatible Sony XBR65Z9D. I gotta get an iPhone 15 Pro and start making my own 3-D videos!
great report, thank you
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,094 subs and > 900 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
3D boxed in video is one thing, 3D 180 degree video is next level! That’s where it’s at, full scale and depth in your full front vision in a headset. I’ve been shooting this for the last 2+ years and it’s on to a 8K sensor.
Where can ur work be viewed
Bridget, One of my favorite things after shooting regular videos of family events is to "lift" or screen shot still photos from the videos. Is this still possible when shooting in spatial video mode? Thanks and always love your videos.
The pre-rollout of this particular feature was a smart move. Teased at WWDC, but then bringing back in media/influencers to get a lesson on spatial video, and then sending them out into the world, and then more recently having them view their own spatial videos and panoramas in AVP was great to help get the word out what it was like, tips and tricks to get good content, and set it up for success when AVP does launch early next year. I didn't see a video from Scott Stein about that third AVP experience (Brian Tong was on top of it and released his videos close to when they occurred). I hope there's improvement on the 1080p at 30fps, because even though that's good quality, it's not 4k quality, and has limitations when it comes to distance and low light. Rumors around the ultra wide getting the 48mp sensor would be a match to the main camera, so maybe with that much data we'll get 4k 60fps? I want to take as much spatial video as I can, but also don't want to re-shoot for better quality. (I guess that's how it's always been though - we'll still watch 360p vid if it's important.) Early 2024 can't come soon enough!
if anyone can move the dial on 3D / VR / AR at this time, it's Apple ... and they seem to have all the pieces in place to make things accessible without being overly technical
Oh my god like one of those picture a day along a really cool song but it’s like in 3D!!!
It’s 1080p wow :) that’s awesome
Outing myself as a Bridget Carey stan! Carrying CNET on your shoulders queen, we love you!
Let’s get this mixed reality thing going!
Sounds cool
I hope devs can make this format compatible with other devices, if it isn’t already. This will make it so much easier to make 3D videos without having to use a separate, expensive camera. Like the Insta360 for example
7:22 does the Beta give you access to both of the stereoscopic video files so you can manipulate them independently?
I am certainly going to try it. When I sell my iPhone 14 Pro and get an iPhone 15 Pro.
We have already done it with Htc 3d evo Smart phone in 2011
There will defo be a Vision Pro Air lol. I will wait after 1st gen
The shading around the edges is due to an affect that happens when you cut two videos together it looks messy so the shading covers the rough edges
You can take a 3D video on the new iPhone and watch it in the quest 3.. it works there’s tutorial videos
4k displays in the headset only apply if your watching full immersion 180/360 video. If 4k is the whole display and you watching a vr screen inside of that world it's only using 720p-1080p worth of pixels.
The iPhone15 Pro uses two different lenses for capturing spatial video, one being an ultra-wide lens and the other a primary lens. Although both can independently record 4K video, their fields of view differ. If the images for the left and right eyes need to match, the ultra-wide lens's footage must be cropped, leading to a loss of pixels. Similarly, the primary lens also needs to lose some pixels to synchronize, resulting in the final output being limited to 1080P video. That's how I understand it.
Its funny because of the sbs style interview parts of the video
Waiting for spatial pr0n 💯
Vision Pro FTW
Sony had a camera that could take 3D photos back in 2011.
With all due respect do you use iPhone 15 pro? Last time I saw you were using iPhone 12 series if I am not wrong
will this work on my occulous or any other vr head set? can I burn it to a bluray and watch on my 3dtv???
Until Apple provides their display, can these videos be shown on any other VR displays/headsets?
Im confused on why the Iphone 14 pro cant do this
To people who wants to experience this
search how to view steroscopic side by side video
4K spacial video is not available… yet. It probably gonna come on a future iPhone. I am guessing iPhone 16 Pro will be able to capture 1080p spacial video at 60fps. Maybe iPhone 17 pro will get 4K 30fps. Who knows. That is if vision pro even does well. But I think it will because Apple has very deep pocket users.
and great idea to take some now.... some company will find some much cheaper way to view these even if not in Vision Pro level quality and full immersion.... even if just a future novelty you might want at least some personal 'samples' of video of your fam for later. i feel people dont bother, unless a really strict family tradition, to go back through old photo albums or home videos too much anyway, so this gives the perfect excuse to record some now and have the reason to view them later in a new technology. get some video now for even just a few future viewings
4k 60 fps and it takes up less space in HDR. Also like you said it's cheaper to record and watch.
Could be more feasible if Apple just made 3D compatible display with spatial camera. Just a pair of 3D glasses should be enough for that 😅
This sounds great. But it creates a issue for the user. What mode do I record my videos in ? The new 3d ? or just regular ?. Apple needs to implement this feature to automatically record while recording in the normal mode. And give the user option to keep it or to not keep it. Make the iphone size bigger and put in this option. Otherwise its way to gimmicky
I wouldn't worry about 1080p video, this is the first model and this format is perfectly acceptable.
6:40 keywords like: “safe distance” and “well lit rooms” are important and should be highlighted in an honest review of early tech. But then again, w/e sales 🤦♂️
U can see the video on quest 3 right now with an app, im disappointed cnet didn't even mention it
my nintendo 3ds did this in 2011....😎😎
What is spatial about a static 3D video without 6DOF? Why is Apple so afraid to use descritions of things, that already exists for a very long time?
I quite literally have not watched the new Avatar movie yet, in part because I’m waiting for the Vision Pro
Same!
Me as well!
This is excellent. But videos have to be 3D and 360° for it to be truly immersive. But still very impressive.
Does anyone remember the HTC EVO 3D? It was able to both play and record 3D videos and that was like 12 years ago.
Scott Stein’s hair is in spatial video 😂
So what your saying is Apple just renamed 3d 1080p side by side video to spatial video 😂 Why in the promotion videos does it show the position changing ? Isn’t that Falsely giving the impression that spatial video has 6 DoF.
It's a pity that video recording in 1080p :( but it's marketing, then iphone 16 pro will be released, which will support 2k, 17pro will support 4k and so on…😢
I don’t get that this can only be watched inside the Apple Vision. Why don’t use the iPhone 15 Pro’s gyro to utilize the 3D effect in the videos? This will also be amazing on the iPhone 15 Pro’s screen. And make a 3D effect on a 2D screen.
Exactly what I want to know, I assume it’s for the ulterior motive to make people buy the Vision Pro but I digress
@@Tangental I hope that this is not the case. Because the functionality are there, they just need to use it. And the iPhone 15 Pro will be an amazing way to see 3D videos.
why not synchronize 5 smartphones?
HTC EVO 3D
thats nothing... got 2 TB ssd for direct video recording on my new pro max and love the feature it can record straight to the ssd. and pro res 4k 60 video is about 1gb every 5 seconds hehehehe
bridget rules
Holy eyeshadow Batman!
Just hold your finger on the screen next to her face and it will 2x speed. Saves you time.
Useful!
3D making a comeback
Yea with the quest 2 and 3
❤
Wouldn’t surprise me if Apple brings back 3D screen phones a decade later after LG did it
its 4k display on each eye*
Thanks. I created my first stupid 3D video, for maybe, one day, see it in an Apple Store in Europe in 2024 or 2025 :)
So we’re getting a new video a year before visiting pro comes along. But at the price they’re asking….why not buy it. 💀
Apple named 3d touch to haptic touch. Now they have renamed 3d video as spatial video.
They are asking a guy with MrMcGoo glasses on his opinion on VR 🤦🏻♂️
Me with my Nintendo 3Ds
Hey guys
Just a heads up, if you could make the background better (like MKBHD), I might consider watching your videos, the background is just naive you could say, including the thumbnail
APPLE LISTEN! Holidays are here, they will be over. Release spatial video Officially!!! Please 🙏 … otherwise would REGRET that I purchase Pro Max earlier!!!! And make these 3D spatial videos watchable on regular VRs to enjoy with families !!!
But wait LG V60 DOES IT BETTER WITH EVEN MANUAL MODE WHICH IS INSANELY GOOD
I'M STILL CURRENTLY USING IT
DAMN GOOD❤❤❤
Wait until everhear how much the pro vision goggles cost 😂
Now apple is slowly adapting android features
wasn't 3d photos and video recording on the 3DS 10 years ago?
the fact its 1080 30 only is kinda meh
You know what would be better, recording 3D videos as 3D models...
Old people are always saying i remember my parents getting the (enter old technology here) and it was so big and bulky. I don't think anyone cares much about the 3k heavy, battery in your pocket to use it, vision device apple wants us to care about. Apple wants you interested in their products. CNET wants you interested in their videos. On your deathbed neither will matter. What will matter will be the loved ones present. Not the pictures/videos taken. For all time. always lol just finished watching Loki.
If the iPhone 3D video is like many other 3D video/spatial video, then mirrors, water, glossy surfaces and curved surfaces will not resolve as cleanly as textured and multifaceted lineal surfaces.
Unless they're using a specialized form of a neural radiance field or a Gaussian splat for video, which wouldn't be surprising, as they are already having to use AI and spacial imaging algorithms for computing the depth between the main camera and ultrawide camera.
@@EdenThompson-mc7gn I create 3D models from single lens videos, with or without a point cloud to improve the mesh model quality. No neural or Gaussian splat needed.
I do this on a laptop with a dedicated GPU.
@@ThexBorg
That’s why it’s only FullHD@30. It’s an intensive process.
@@khoanguyen0001 I’m not saying it isn’t an intense process. I’m talking about known issues in resolving reality modelling capture process. It probably uses the point cloud to resolve reflective and smooth surfaces which affects speed and resolution.
I’d like to see some 3D models from it for people like me who could use them for engineering design.
@@ThexBorg
If you only want to scan 3D models, iPhone Pros are already capable of that using LiDAR scanners. You will need to use third-party apps, though. Therefore, the quality will depend on the app you use. I think that Apple will provide APIs for 3D videos so third-party developers can make advanced apps.
Do we all agree that people are just going to make home sextapes with the Apple 3D? 😅😅
Hold on, why the more i look at scotts face, i feel like his nose is a fake one? It looks like the toy nose that comes with glasses and mustache kit back in the day 😂
Lol happened on the HTC EVO 3D in 2011 🤣 🤣 ....not new and not a good feature.
Apple invented 3D! 😳
Apple should stop announcing stuff thats not ready… remember the Apple Powermat ?
The marketing is quite false advertisement, is just normal 3D, they show it like you could look at 120° of the recorded video
I find this technology not that necessary as we have LiDar technology and Ai tech like gaussian blur that will capture moments in true 3D Space that you can relive in person and in actual space
You dont know what youre talkin
So its a feature that is totally useless if you do not have any intention to buy the vision pro.
It's a strange implementation of the tech. I'm speaking from experience shooting 180-degree 3D VR with my Canon R5C and dual fisheye VR lens and then viewing the result on my Quest headset. I am surprised to see that it is only 1080 on the iPhone 3D recordings. I am shooting 8k on my Canon, which comes out to 4k for each eye and it still does not look *amazing*. What I find strange is that Apple is demonstrating the resulting footage in a window instead of immersive. Maybe the spread between the lenses is not enough to truly get a good 3D experience? Well, in any event, I hope that Apple's foray into the VR space results in easier workflows for the VR professional. And, please for the love of god remove the fake eye display on the front. It makes me cringe every time I see that demo.
You’re not thinking about the development stages. You can’t record 2x4k without gigantic files. We are not talking about taking movies rather short clips. It’s going to do that for now. The future will look different.
What's Her @?
🥱😴🛌🏻
HAHAHAHA :)
Seriously nothing new
Better, as it should be, but not special
1080p VR videos is so 2015. C`mon Apple, you can do better
I wish Apple just made a 3D projector hologram instead of this $3,500 headset. :|
And who is going to buy vision it's so😊 expensive I think this is totally fail
It’s not 3D then…
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you want it?? It's just another gimmick
It's kinda useless at that resolution in 3d....way too low. Vision Poor has a poor vision of the future
CrApple iShit. IPhones are truly iGarbage
Wait. I could shoot 3d photo and watch it on 3d phone screen from my LG phone in 2011. WTF is apple thinking.
But could you watch it back in mixed-reality?
A Nintendo 3DS could play that back in stereo as well.

This will be a niche product. VR has been around for years. This won't become mainstream unless they can get the price down. I personally don't like things strapped to my head, like headphones. I definitely wouldn't want anything strapped to my face. It's got a 2 hour battery life or something like that, so it's not for longterm use. Some people want to work in VR and that just sounds miserable. Also, women like to wear makeup. How would that workout for them? Again, it's gonna be a niche low selling product for sure.
SFW…I watched 3D content on tv and at the theater with red and blue glasses back in the 80’s but that doesn’t mean the technology can’t go forward, obviously! Sorry I had to point it out to you.
