Apple rolled out iOS 17.2 today, giving iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users the ability to record spatial videos. The new feature allows users to shoot in 3D and experience their favorite memories and special moments on Apple Vision Pro, the upcoming mixed reality headset.
In order to create 3D video, Apple explains that the iPhone uses both the main and ultra-wide cameras when recording. It’s then saved as a single file under a new album in the Photos app titled “Spatial.” Videos will also sync across devices with iCloud. Spatial videos are captured at 1080p at 30 frames per second.
Spatial video recording can be enabled in Settings by toggling “Apple Vision Pro Spatial Video” in the Camera section under Formats. Apple suggests holding your iPhone in landscape orientation for best results.
Spatial videos can be viewed on all iPhones and other devices; However, they will appear as regular 2D videos.
The new feature allows users to record videos that Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, describes as “magical” and “sets a new standard for what’s possible.” While that’s marketing talk, it serves as a differentiator for Apple’s high-end iPhone, and will deepen users’ connections with Apple’s latest product, the AR/VR headset, launching next year.
“iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max feature the most powerful camera systems we’ve ever developed, including the best video quality in a smartphone. Now, we’re setting a new standard for what’s possible, allowing users to record special moments exactly as they happen.” He said In the current situation.
