What metadata do I need to write a spatial video?

To write a spatial video, you need to include specific spatial metadata. Here are the key components of the spatial metadata:

1. Projection: Defines the relationship between objects in the world and pixels in the image. Spatial photos and videos always use the rectilinear projection.
2. Baseline and Field of View: Describe the physical properties of the camera that captured the spatial asset.
3. Disparity Adjustment: Controls the 3D effect in the windowed presentation.

Additionally, for optimal image characteristics, the left and right images should be:

• Stereo rectified
• Have optical axis alignment
• Have no vertical disparity

These characteristics are important for ensuring a great viewing experience but are not explicitly metadata fields.
