With SpatialCamera, you can begin capturing Spatial Photo and Spatial Video on iPhone as far back as the iPhone Xs*, save life’s precious moments in 3D, convert spatial video/photo into other 3D video/photo formats and relive those memories on XR headsets. **Spatial Capture** - Supports capturing spatial photos - Supports capturing spatial videos up to 4K and HDR format (on select devices) - Supports time-lapse mode - Supports launching Spatial Camera from the lock screen (iOS 18). - Supports camera control button (iPhone 16 series). **Image and Video Transcoding** - Supports conversion between traditional SBS, HOU formats and spatial photo/video formats - Supports batch transcoding - Supports 2D photo conversion to spatial photo (powered by on-device AI model) * Devices with better support for Spatial Capture iPhone 16 Series iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 12 iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation) iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation) iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation) iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation) *For other devices with different camera layouts, they will operate under the following compatibility modes: Compatibility Mode 1: Utilizes the telescope and wide-angle lenses for spatial capture, primarily focusing on the perspective of the telephoto lens. Drawback: Requires maintaining a longer distance from the subject. Compatibility Mode 2: Rotates the device to keep the wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses on the same horizontal line. Drawback: The captured image will be cropped a lot. *AD: If you have an Apple Vision Pro, we invite you to try our newly launched, all-in-one local video player **SpatialVideos**, designed exclusively for visionOS. https://apps.apple.com/app/spatialvideos/id6450283181
