Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Gets Spatial Video Recording For Vision Pro Headset: Details Inside،
2023 was a big year for Apple. Earlier this year, Apple took a head start on innovation by announcing the Apple Reality Vision Pro headset and in September 2023, the iPhone 15 series and iOS 17 were made official. When Apple announced the iPhone 15 series, the brand also highlighted how iPhones and other devices will work in tandem with the Reality Vision Pro headset to make life even more convenient.
The latest development on this front is that the 2sd The iOS17.2 beta comes with a feature that allows iPhone 15 Pro Max to record spatial videos that can be viewed in the Photos app on Apple’s Vision Pro headset.
Before learning how this can be achieved, let’s first see what a space video is.
Space video
Those who have watched 3D films in the cinema will have discovered what space videos would look like. Avatar released in 2009 introduced the world to this new 3D viewing experience. Using the parallax effect of the human eye, 2 cameras are used to film during filming and 2 projectors are used to project during projection. Space videos also use left and right eye parallax to give people a stereo feel.
A spatial video is a video with 6 degrees of freedom, with a perspective that changes as you move.

How can spatial video recording be enabled on iPhone 15 Pro Max?
Spatial video recording can be enabled by going to the Settings app, tapping the Camera section, selecting Formats, and enabling “Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro.” Apple says that for best results, the iPhone should remain stable in landscape orientation while recording. Video is recorded at 30 frames per second in 1080p quality and a one-minute video takes up 130 MB of storage space.
The space videos produced can be viewed on Reality Vision Pro as well as on iPhone but on iPhone they will look like normal videos. These videos have a “Spatial” label to indicate that they can be viewed in 3D on Vision Pro.
On the Vision Pro headset, spatial videos are not displayed in full screen by default. If you enlarge the video, Apple warns you that the video has excessive movement and might cause discomfort if enlarged.
However, there is still some waiting time as users will only be able to enjoy these space videos on the Reality Vision Pro headset in 2024 when it will be officially rolled out to everyone.
