3D photography has never taken off in the same way as the two-dimensional art form, but the Apple Vision Pro and iPhone are aiming to change that. If they succeed, it could change the way we capture and experience memories.
That lofty goal is far from guaranteed. After all, Apple’s introduction of the Vision Pro (its “first 3D camera”) was simultaneously the most interesting and creepy part of a launch that often felt like a Black Mirror outtake.
The long list of meme-worthy Vision Pro launch moments means it’s easy to forget that Apple announced a device that captures “spatial photos and videos in 3D”. Considering the company’s last camera (outside the iPhone) was the Apple QuickTake in 1994, that’s a pretty big deal.
