609: You’re the Oreo Cookie

And we're at that point again, or close to being at that point again with headsets, because there's stuff you can do in a headset that you can't do in a quote-unquote regular movie. And if we can get to the point where we can also support variable focal distances, that's yet another step. So very exciting stuff. I'm glad to see them experiment with this.

And then finally with AR glasses, that's another interesting place where it's like, well, with like AR glasses, you can change your focal distance when you're looking at the real world because they're just glasses and you're looking through them at the actual room, right? But you could put everything that is projected in a single plane and

And so you do have to refocus your eyes on the floating window in front of you that's always two feet away. And then when you want to look at the thing that's 20 feet away, you have to refocus, right? So we already kind of have that variable focal distance by cheating by saying the real world is all the focal distances. And then the stuff we project is fixed focal distance.

So I do feel like we're taking baby steps towards refocusing. essentially more like the live theater experience of you can focus on anything you want. But yeah, I would love to see this video. You mentioned them having a blank check or wishing they could have a blank check. At 17 minutes, I don't think this check was very blank, but you know, it's better than nothing.

i've got a conjecture what have you heard my conjecture i don't know i don't think i've heard it from you but i probably have heard that same conjecture somewhere else we think that like uh you know there are things you might want to do with the vision pro on a movie set in terms of connecting it to other devices that aren't supported by the vanilla vision pro and they're like oh well we'll we'll hack in support for that but you have to use the developer strap to do so connecting it to monitors connecting it to video things all stuff like that that's my guess

I wouldn't call that the main advantage of raws because if you use Apple Photos, all your edits are reversible. You don't have to worry about messing things up in that way. Raw gives you more latitude for the things you can change. But if you're using Apple Photos, which it sounds like Maxell is, don't worry about your edits. Edit fearlessly. You can always revert to original.

Well, so yeah, let me, I mostly agree with the things you said, especially that you shouldn't be editing every photo. Like that's madness. What you should be doing is going through every photo and chucking the terrible ones and finding the ones that you really think are good. And the ones that you really think are good, edit those. My last time I checked, I'm about at 10%.

of the photos I take, I edit. And that's after throwing away the terrible ones, so it's obviously less than 10%, right? So I throw away the terrible ones. What's left out of those? One in 10 I essentially fave, and that is one that I will edit. In terms of RAW, I mostly agree with Marco, except I will say you should...

have some raws somewhere if you have a dual card thing and you can put the raws on one card and mostly ignore them great but if you have a single card every once in a while take a raw once just to give you a feel for what does raw give me the other things don't it would be ideal if you could take both jpeg and raw and do what i do which is just deal with the jpegs except for for the for the 10 that are your favorites pull the raws for those because that will teach you when you're doing any kind of editing oh i can't get this photo to look right which i'll talk about in a second
