Photos of a prototype camera allegedly being developed by Apple for shooting spatial video have appeared online. The device, designed for use with the Vision Pro headset, has impressive specs and could revolutionize VR content creation.
The camera is capable of capturing video at up to 8K resolution and has a 180-degree field of view. Its design uses two large sensors, comparable in size to Micro-Four-Thirds or Super 35, to produce high-quality stereoscopic images.
In addition to video, the camera is also equipped with microphones for recording spatial audio, which adds even more realism to the content being created.
Experts suggest that Apple plans to use these cameras to create immersive VR content for its Vision Pro headset. The company has previously used similar devices to film MLS football matches in 3D, which has generated a lot of interest in the industry.
Apple’s new camera could become a powerful tool for creating VR content and spur further development of immersive technologies.
