Canon Now Accepting Orders for Spatial Video Lens Previewed at WWDC

Who is making content for the 5 people that own and actually still use an AVP?

If the AVP isn't a consumer-level product, then why is Canon making consumer-level lenses for consumer-level cameras to produce consumer-level content for Vimeo that can only be viewed on an AVP?

Meta users aren't going to care about this unless it's for porn. They buy VR headsets for gaming.

Apple has to help provide the tools for this new paradigm if they want to make it financially feasible as a platform and for the average content creator to create content.

Let's remember that unlike the iPhone, where there already was a vibrant marketplace and demand for cellular phones, with Vision Pro, Apple jumped head-first into the deep end of a market that couldn't fill an inflatable kids pool. They need to put a lot of effort into making it work.

Aren't the lenses too close together for proper 3D cinematography? The distance should be about the same as the average distance between our own eyes, I believe.

Is that even far enough apart for there to be enough parallax for a proper stereoscopic view?

This is what I’ve always wondered about spatial video for the iPhone. Anytime you see it done in 3D movies behind the scenes they always have the camera rig spaced further apart like human eyes, maybe even a little more. Back in college I was a photography student for a while (minor, switched to design) and for fun I would make red/blue 3D photos in PS and it always looked better if I took the photos further apart. I would just do it unscientifically by moving my tripod by small amounts. Smaller distances for closer objects and larger distances for further away objects like mountains, if I remember right. That’s probably why they always show spatial video being shot indoors: smaller distance.

[HEADING=1]What's wrong with this forum?[/HEADING]

Either it's too plastic and too cheap or it's too pricy and not interesting because its out of the financial resources?

Either way people gonna hate it or have Schadenfreude about others perceivably not succeeding.

[FONT=courier new]The Blackmagic and the Canon are very good options to start firming VR content in a meaningful way on two different price and quality levels - what's not to like her?

I guess the [/FONT][FONT=courier new]Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive[/FONT] ('https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/media/release/20240611-02')[FONT=courier new] will make a huge difference in professional filming for the AVP and will bring more headroom for creators - these are extremely useful tools and for the rest of us the canon way offers a much cheaper and probably better option than any SmartPhone can do.

I am happy for all the creators and hobbyists that make use of these tools.

BTW - the Plastic Fantastic ('https://dustinabbott.net/2015/06/canon-ef-50mm-f1-8-stm-review/?utm_content=cmp-true') from Canon was the bargain of the century - being ultra sharp and ultra affordable.[/FONT]

Cancelled my preorder

Apple needs to put one camera at the other end of the iPhone. :rolleyes:
