Apple wants to change the future of filmmaking and has introduced the first 8K 3D cinema camera developed to make movies for Vision Pro. This camera can shoot 180 degrees in high resolution and record spatial audio for immersive content like movies. All known details are below.
YMCinema first reported on Apple patents for 2021 and beyond under the title .Photography equipment and method. The patent describes Vision Pro’s dual-sensor camera dedicated to capturing spatial content. The camera has high resolution (8K) capabilities and is equipped with two large sensors. As stated in our article, “It is important to mention that although the sensor unit appears multiple times in the application, its size specifications are not defined. However (!) Looking at the dimensions given, we can conclude that this is a large sensor, as the filter measures approximately 5 centimeters, so we can assume that these are two Micro Four Thirds sensors. , respectively, which would be considered a large sensor, especially for stereoscopic cameras.” Apple announced this camera to the public yesterday.
Apple has teamed up with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Edward Berger to create Submerged, the first short film using the company’s latest immersive camera. This could forever change the way people see things at home. This camera allows filmmakers to take advantage of the nearly limitless possibilities of Apple Immersive Video. Apple Immersive Video is an all-new storytelling format that allows users to create 8K 3D videos with a 180-degree view. Basically, this is a very new camera specially developed by Apple that has a 180 degree view. This is a stereoscopic camera with a specially designed microphone, which is also multidirectional in a way to record spatial audio. When you shoot with a camera, everything is in focus. Apple has not yet released specs, nor has it announced availability or pricing. Nevertheless, an analysis of BTS shows that the basic structure is indeed very similar to the patent application described above.
As mentioned above, there is no information regarding pricing and availability. It is a high-resolution camera reminiscent of IMAX. Blackmagic URSA Cinemarsive 8K 3D, Sphere’s big sky, and Achter 9X7 . For filmmakers who want to create content specifically for Vision Pro, as opposed to IMAX, Big Sky, and ACHTEL 9X7, which focus on dome screenings and giant canvases. Apple doesn’t seem to have any plans to release it to the public. Anyway, if you want to create a movie for the Vision Pro, you can do so using the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive 8K 3D, “the world’s first commercial camera system for Apple immersive video.” The truth is that watching a movie is a social experience, so you won’t like watching a movie with the Vision Pro attached to your head and it will isolate you from your environment. So we don’t like it at all. From a technology perspective, this is a solid achievement. But it doesn’t contribute to the future of filmmaking.
