How do I film immersive video professionally?

To film immersive video professionally, Apple offers several tools and techniques that can help you achieve high-quality results. Here are some key points and sessions from WWDC 2024 that you might find useful:

1. Apple Immersive Video:

   • Apple immersive video is shot in 180-degree 8K resolution with spatial audio in VisionOS 2.0. This format is designed for high-end professional content and provides a fully immersive experience where the video screen wraps around the viewer, putting them right inside the action. This is ideal for professional creative storytelling (Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences).

2. Spatial Video Capture:

   • Spatial video can be captured on devices like the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro's wide and ultra-wide cameras are placed side by side, enabling spatial video capture. This setup mimics human eye orientation, making it easier to record spatial video (Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences).
   • To get the best quality recordings, you can enable improved video stabilization by setting the preferred video stabilization mode to cinematic extended enhanced. This mode uses a longer look-ahead window and crops more of the frame to produce smoother videos, which is especially important for large screen sizes in VisionOS (Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences).

3. Custom Environments:

   • For creating custom environments for your immersive apps, you can use digital content creation tools like Maya and Blender. These tools help you block out environments with simple primitives and ensure that the scale is accurate when viewed in a headset (Create custom environments for your immersive apps in visionOS).
   • You can also enhance the immersion of media viewing by using the immersive space scene type in AVKit. This allows for customizable progressive immersion, where the audience can set their desired level of immersion using the digital crown on Apple Vision Pro (Enhance the immersion of media viewing in custom environments).
