And so I'm looking forward to that because like I thought – Back before the Vision Pro was out, I thought that the version of immersive video that the phones were shooting now, and the Vision Pro itself as a capture, because the Vision Pro itself can capture video, like spatial video, but the quality is not great, and the immersion, therefore, is somewhat limited.

As Casey said, you're only capturing a rectangle in front of you, and the resolution and frame rates are pretty rough. They're pretty bad, honestly. So, this is like a leap above that. This is a huge leap above that. And so, yes, it's nice to have some spatial video of people here and there. It would be a heck of a lot nicer to have this. So, I look forward to this being more available over time.

there's always going to be some difficulty in shooting that like that that's always going to be a little bit of a skilled operation to do it well and and i think you know for a foreseeable future that's going to be somewhat expensive to do also but thirty thousand dollars it sounds ridiculous now but trust me to a production house that's not that ridiculous and again there's the rental option and it's only going to come down from here so i look forward to this i i think this is a big deal um

I am tempted to buy one. I'm not going to.

I'm not going to. But what underscore we're saying, I might rent one someday. Obviously, I think it'll be a while before they're even available for rental from the rental sites. And they will probably cost $3,000 to $5,000 for a few days with them. So even that's probably going to be more than I want to spend on my curiosities here. But I can see the future coming. I can see the first...

The sun is rising in this area. I can see the little glimmer of light. I think this is going to be really cool in not that much time from now.

I don't know enough about this to know, but I'm pretty sure if you're shooting this 180-degree field of view, I think it kind of has to be a certain focal length. Whatever that focal length is, like that ultra-wide focal length to capture 180 degrees, I think it just has to be that. Because what you're trying to do, ultimately, is you're trying to match the visual perspective of what our eyes see.

Yeah, and I mean, by the way, the resolution on the edges of immersive video is also garbage. We say we can turn our heads around to look at the sides, and we can, but it's very blurry and low-res when you get to the edges.

Yes, but for the most part, you want to focus straight ahead. But what you get in the field of view is useful for just additional immersion and context. So, yes, you can look over to the sides and the top and the bottom and everything, but you generally don't spend much time doing that. Also, they're out of focus. I mean, you don't have to look 90 degrees.
