Now, you do not need to spend $3,500 to sit by yourself in the dark and relive memories.
Despite the fact that Apple has made the ability to capture and play back spatial video a primary selling feature for its headset, it will not be the only device on the market that is capable of using stereoscopic films. The debut of Apple Vision Pro tomorrow is precisely timed to coincide with the addition of spatial video playback capabilities to the virtual reality headsets that comprise the Meta Quest community.
There is a mobile application called Meta Quest that allows you to post spatial videos directly from your iPhone. However, in order to create the videos, you will need an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. For the purpose of preserving the very needed space on the hard drive, the content will be kept in the cloud rather than on the headset. Because of the added depth that spatial movies provide, you will be able to revisit precious events over and over again once they have been uploaded. This is because spatial videos are pretty captivating.
Meta has made a number of demonstration movies accessible to users so that you may see for yourself what all the excitement is about. Meta Quest 3, which was just recently released, is not the only game that includes this functionality. With the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro, you will have the ability to watch videos that are spatial in nature. The original Meta Quest is, as is customary, being held out in the cold. It is important to note that the Viture One and One Lite XR glasses are also capable of playing videos that are spatial in nature.
Several more enhancements are being made available to Quest users as a result of a bigger system update that includes the video viewer. With the addition of support for external gamepads, the web browser of the headset will now be able to play games that are based on the internet. As an additional point of interest, Facebook live streaming is now accessible to all users, following a restricted deployment. Finally, there are several new rapid actions that only require a single gesture. By looking down at your wrist and performing a little squeeze, you can, for example, mute the microphone or take a picture. Both of these actions are entirely possible. Hey, hold on just a second. Additionally, that sounds highly reminiscent of the control layout used by Apple Vision Pro. Shots were fired.
