Virtual Set v1
I spent a little time over the weekend trying to bring The Phantom Moon to life. I created this in Blender, rendered out a still image, and then made a video out of it. This was recorded in my Apple Vision Pro.

Testing Spatial photo and Video embeds
In VisionOS 2.2 (I’m on the developer beta), you can now “tap to view spatial photos and videos embedded on web pages” in Safari. So if you’re viewing this in Safari in VisionOS 2.2 you can select and hold the image which brings up a menu where you can select “View Spatial Photo.” To view…

I’ve got a Vision Pro app in beta
A couple of weeks ago Anthony Maës released an open source immersive video player based on Mike Swanson’s work. It’s also published as an app that you can download on the Vision Pro. It’s now my go-to app for playing immersive MV-HEVC videos. I was hopeful I could use this to make an app for…

Spatial Photo to Black & White Anaglyph
The camera app in iOS 18 has a “Spatial” mode for iPhone 16 and 16 Pro. There you can switch between photos and video. I’ve always wanted to make a B&W anaglyph photo zine and while running this morning I realized that I knew how to make this work for images taken with my new…

I spent the weekend learning how to composite text and 2D video into a 180 degree, 3D video. I mostly have it all working. Once I figure out a couple of issues I’ll write something up.

I have a handful of zines that I’m bringing to give to people but I thought I could make something to give to others that would take them to the online versions.

Dual Fisheye to Rectilinear 3D
There’s not a lot of info on the web for transforming the fisheye images you get with the Canon Dual Fisheye lens to rectilinear images. I finally found this tutorial for Stereo Photo Maker but I was missing the options that I needed in the menu. Finally I realized that these were only available in…
