SpatialCamera

Overall this app works great to record spatial/3D video with my iPhone 11. Videos look good to me in a MetaQuest 2 headset. Video recording with a stable device looks good in 4K. If device is handheld, 1080 with stabilization is better. A tutorial would help improve the app. For example, after capturing video in the app, you then need to transcode it before it will display as 3D video in a headset like a MetaQuest.

So this app looks very good. The UI is attractive and professional looking. From a little testing it does seem to work on my iPhone 15 Pro Max for photos and videos. My issue is simply this: zero tutorials on using the App effectively. Spatial is a new paradigm and can be quite confusing. Especially when converting old photos or videos. For transcoding there are multiple options but no explanations. Also when taking a photo it takes three. Almost as though they are HDR, two photos then turned into one. But I can’t see a difference. All three photos appear to be spatial. When converting photos it cuts most of the photo out for some reason. More so on videos. There are settings but no explanations for which to use for each platform. Needs more explanation and then I could recommend the app.

I really want to love this app and have been recommending it all over reddit in the last few weeks, but sadly one of the updates killed the iP12Pro’s correct spacing for the Wide+Tele/Comp Mode 1’s video. I know you have to be further away for it to work since it uses the tele lens, but the videos get transcoded to be spaced incorrectly vertically and maybe horizontally as well. Please line them back up correctly, as I’f love to change this review to 5 stars and continue recommending it! As it’s the only app able to make spatial/3D FSBS video (and 4K at that!) for non-iP15Pro users. I emailed the developer and would love to assist with making sure this issue is fixed once an update rolls out. PS: I think this app should be in the more $5-$10 range, it adds a lot more value to older iPhone models!
