Apple is gearing up to release the final version of the iOS 17.2 operating system update in December, bringing a host of new features, including Spatial Video recording.
After updating the operating system to iOS 17.2, users of iPhone 15 Pro can capture location-based videos featuring three-dimensional effects. These videos are intended for viewing through Apple Vision Pro, set to be released in early 2024.
Below, we will elucidate the procedure for utilizing this feature on iPhone 15 Pro
First: What are the prerequisites for recording a Spatial Video?
Exclusively for users of iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, initiate the recording of three-dimensional effect videos after updating the operating system to iOS 17.2.
Using this feature requires activating the option "Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro" in the Settings app before commencing recording. Additionally, ensure capturing the video horizontally.
Upon completion of the recording, you can view the spatial video on your iPhone as a standard video, devoid of the three-dimensional effect. It will be ready for three-dimensional display through Apple's glasses, slated to arrive in 2024.
Second: How to Record Location-based Videos on iPhone 15 Pro
To record a spatial video on iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Settings app, then select Camera, and finally, Formats.
Enable the "Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro" option.
Access the Camera app, choose the video mode, and you will see a small Vision Pro glasses icon in the bottom-left corner. Tap on it, then orient your iPhone horizontally, as spatial videos cannot be recorded with the phone in a vertical position.
Commence recording the video as usual, bearing in mind that one minute of spatial video occupies approximately 130 megabytes of storage.
After completing the recording, you will have a video with a resolution of 1080 pixels at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. The only adjustments you can make to the spatial video in your phone's Photos app are cropping a portion of the video and muting the audio.
