And that's so much better than little postage stamp dream blobs you get from the iPhone immersive video. And I'm glad to have those dream blobs. It's better than not having anything at all that's spatial. Like, I'm glad we have that option. But the immersive video with the 8K per eye is so much better.

It's like it's an order of magnitude different in, you know, in so many ways, in quality, obviously, in frame rate, in just how much of the scene you're capturing and how it feels to watch it. And you really feel like you are in it. That's a very different thing.

And so when that becomes accessible to regular people in some way, even if it's, you know, in a few thousand dollar camera, like, you know, photo enthusiasts have been buying few thousand dollar cameras for many years.

Like it's not, that isn't something that like everyone will be able to afford, but it is something that gets it into the prosumer market in a much better way than a $30,000 custom pro everything camera. So this, I think, is a very important step. Like this camera being released that shoots directly to immersive video, apparently, or at least can be easily processed into it.

That's a really big deal because that signifies that we are on that path and that maybe in a few more years and that now people, you know, production companies now will be able to rent that and shoot a concert or whatever. And that's going to be huge. But then it's going to be even better when we can shoot our own memories with that.

Yeah, more than any other format, this makes you feel like you are there. You are in that room with the people. I can just imagine. I think back to videos I've taken of relatives who have since passed away. I'm so happy I have those videos.

this you feel like you are in that room so like imagine the emotional weight of you know if i had like the video of my grandma with my kid like if i had that video in this format i mean obviously i probably would not have hauled a thirty thousand dollar giant camera into you know the assisted living facility for that video but like you know so it's obviously very important for the phones to keep getting better at capturing that stuff because they're always with you but

We don't know what media will be important to either us in the future or our future generations. When we look back at our own childhood, there's almost no videos of us generally. We're lucky to have a few photos here and there. And then when you go to our parents or our grandparents... There are usually like there's maybe one picture of them when they're young.

Maybe it's their wedding picture and that's it. Like, you know, like as we move forward, you know, it becomes more commonplace to have more media captured of people and in more rich formats, whether, you know, moving first to first from photos into like color photos and then better photos and then more photos and videos and more videos.

I think it will be – I think we will – if you start capturing this kind of video somehow when it becomes available to you, capture important moments here and there. While it's still expensive and hard to do, maybe it's only things like weddings or whatever. But like over time, that will become more common and you'll be so happy you have those videos.
