Your disembodied head is literally sitting in the middle of the table and you can look to the guy to your left and the guy to your right. That would be a weird choice, but you can do that. You can't do that with the play where your seat suddenly is in the middle of the actors, right?

So there's lots of choices you can make, but they're faced with the same challenges as a play of like, hey, we don't know where people are going to be, quote unquote, sitting in the audience or looking in the audience. I guess they can place the camera where they want, but they don't know where you're going to look. So they have to dress it.

more like a play than like a movie where if you ever see a movie being made whatever the camera is seeing is reasonable anything that's a foot off of the camera it's like you know a guy from craft services eating a snack like whatever like this it can be anything you can see the whole set you can see all the light rigs you can see the tape on the floor you can see everything and

honestly these days you can put a lot of stuff in the camera too and just make someone erase it after the fact which is i'm sure what they did with submerged but yeah it's an interesting challenge and part of that challenge is like okay but when you're watching a play you don't suddenly get up and move 20 feet forward like they don't do that in a play they can't do that in a play you're in your seat but with immersive video they just take that whatever weird camera rig and they walk down the hallway with it and as you noted casey you're not walking down the hallway you're sitting on a couch

right but the camera is moving down the hallway and you may think well what's the big deal i see that all the time in movies i'm watching a movie the camera goes in the hallway i don't feel sick well you're not wearing a headset that wraps the image around your entire field of view and that i feel like does make a big difference

you know, narrative fiction thing in the Apple Vision Pro with immersive video is based on depth of field, what's in focus, what's out of focus to make you look at the thing that's in focus.
