One of Apple Vision Pro's killer features is its ability to playback Spatial Video, a format that adds depth to a video you've recorded. While the headset can capture spatial content itself, you'll likely get better results from filming with your iPhone 15 Pro. It can offer an experience akin to peering into a moment in time. And now, you'll be able to let third-party apps help you capture better spatial video from your iPhone.
Up until now, if you wanted to dabble in recording spatial video, you were stuck using Apple's built-in Camera app. But those shackles are off. In a recent WWDC 2024 coding session, Apple revealed that it's releasing an API as part of iOS 18 that lets developers sprinkle some of that spatial magic into their own camera apps.
