Capturing 3D spatial videos and photos is a cutting-edge feature of the Apple Vision Pro that allows users to create immersive content that can be relived in a lifelike manner.
However, you might be wondering how you can exactly go and capture 3D spatial photos and video with your Apple Vision Pro.
In this guide we will walk you through capturing stunning 3D spatial videos and photos, allowing you to preserve memories in a lifelike format.
How To Take/Capture 3D Spatial Video & Photo On Apple Vision Pro?
You can easily capture spatial video and photos on your Apple Vision Pro by following the steps below:
- Tap the top button to launch Capture.
- At the bottom of the screen, select Photo if you want to take a picture, or Video if you want to record.
- To snap a photo or begin recording a video, press the top button.
- To end the video recording, press the top button once more, or touch the button on the screen that says “Stop Recording.“
What are the Things to Keep in Mind Before You Start Capturing 3D Spatial Video & Photo On Apple Vision Pro?
1. Keep Your Head Still
- Steadiness is Key: When you’re recording a spatial video, it is important to keep your head as still as possible. This helps the camera to capture a smooth video and makes the viewing experience more enjoyable later on.
2. Understand the Crosshair and Circle
- Centering the Crosshair: While you record, you’ll notice a crosshair in the middle of your view. Think of this as a guide to help you keep your camera steady.
- Staying Within the Circle: If you move around too much, the crosshair will drift away from the center and out of a circle that appears around it. Try to keep this crosshair inside the circle for a stable video.
- Excess Motion Alert: If there’s a lot of movement in your video, you might see an alert when you try to watch it in Immersive view. This is a sign that you moved too much during recording.
3. Use the Level for Balanced Shots
- Leveling Your Camera: Before you start recording, if you tilt your head, a level will show through the shutter button. This is designed to help you align your shots horizontally.
- Balanced Photos and Videos: Use the level as a guide to straighten your camera before you take a photo or start a video. This ensures that your final content won’t be tilted and will look more professional.
4. Avoid Too-Close Subjects
- Maintaining Distance: Try not to capture photos or videos of subjects that are very close to the camera. This could make the spatial effect less effective and might distort the subject in the final image or video.
- Optimal Distance for Clarity: Keeping a reasonable distance from your subjects ensures that the spatial effects are captured clearly and the 3D depth is accurately represented.
5. Optimal Distance for Clarity
- Space for Depth Perception: By maintaining a proper distance from your subjects, you allow the camera to effectively differentiate between the foreground and background, enhancing the 3D spatial effect and providing a more realistic sense of depth in your photos and videos.
- Avoiding Distortion: Objects that are too close to the camera can appear distorted or overly large in the resulting 3D space. This can detract from the realism that spatial content aims to provide.
6. Composing Your Shot
- Pre-Recording Composition: Before you hit the record button or take a photo, take a moment to frame your shot. Look for a composition that has elements at varying distances to take full advantage of the spatial capabilities.
- Clear Foreground and Background: Ensure that the foreground is uncluttered and the background is distinct. This separation helps in creating a more impactful spatial effect.
7. Final Checks Before Capturing
- Reviewing the Scene: Once you have your composition, the crosshair centred, and the level indicating a balanced shot, do a quick review to make sure everything looks good.
- Minimizing Movement: If you’re recording a video, prepare to keep your movements to a minimum once you start. This will help you maintain the crosshair within the circle throughout the recording.
