"Immersive video" is literally just high-resolution, wide-fov, 3d passthrough videos. As usual, Apple is selling a common feature of e.g. the Quest 3 under a different name and for a much higher price. You can get the same experience without having to shell out several grand.

Your comment is incorrect in many ways. Based on your comment, I don’t believe you’ve actually tried it?

Firstly, it is not passthrough video.

Secondly, you cannot currently have the same experience on the quest. You can have lower quality versions of it, but immersive video is 8k per eye at 90fps.

There has literally never been cameras available to consumers to capture that till this specific camera. Unless you did professional custom camera rigs.

As someone who owns both a Quest and a Vision Pro, and has worked in stereo for a large portion of my career, the two experiences are not remotely comparable when it comes to video today. The quest excels in other areas, but this is one where Meta have very weak coverage on.

Yes, I have tried both and AVP is a leap ahead.
