Apple has enabled Spatial video recording with iOS 17.2 beta 2, according to GSMArena. This means that iPhone users will be able to record videos with six degrees of freedom, with a perspective that changes as they move. This is a new way to create and consume video content, with the potential to revolutionize the way we experience the world around us.

Spatial video is made possible by the iPhone’s LiDAR scanner, which can measure the distance to objects in the environment. This data is then used to create a 3D model of the scene, which can then be used to render the video from any perspective.

To record spatial video, users will need to open the Camera app and toggle on the “Spatial Video” setting. Once this is done, the camera will start recording video with six degrees of freedom.

Spatial video can be viewed on any device that supports 6DoF video playback, such as the Apple Vision Pro headset. Users can also view spatial video on their iPhones by wearing a VR headset or using the “Spatial Video” feature in the Photos app.

Here are some potential applications for spatial video:

• Virtual reality: Spatial video could be used to create more immersive VR experiences, where users feel like they are actually inside the video.
• Augmented reality: Spatial video could be used to create AR overlays that are anchored to the real world. This could be used for things like navigation, gaming, and education.
• Video editing: Spatial video could give video editors more control over the perspective of their videos. This could be used to create more dynamic and interesting shots.
• Social media: Spatial video could be used to create more engaging social media posts. For example, users could share spatial videos of their travels, concerts, or other events.

Overall, spatial video is a promising new technology with the potential to revolutionize the way we create and consume video content. It is still early days for spatial video, but it is clear that this technology has the potential to change the way we interact with the world around us.

Here are some additional details about spatial video recording:

• Spatial video is recorded at 30 frames per second at 1080p resolution.
• Spatial video files are larger than traditional video files, so they may require more storage space.
• Spatial video can be viewed on any device that supports 6DoF video playback, but it will look best on devices with a high-quality display.
