I don't know how it compares against things in the Meta space or any other headset, but the immersive videos are just incredible.

The Alicia Keys rehearsal one was just so cool - I'm a big fan of hers to begin with but being able to just look around and see her walk around the studio in front of you (with good sound too) was kind of shocking and a big a-ha moment. It made me think that a killer use for the AVP family is going to be lots of really good immersive content. As far as I know right now it's too difficult for most people to capture this sort of content, but what if future iPhones can record such things and do by default? I know there's something similar with spatial but if almost every video created had an 'immersive version' of this quality, it would be a massive deal.

I do think the tech can get even better though. It's still not as visually sharp as it could be, so maybe even higher rez displays someday would be even better.. but it's definitely the most impressive thing about the product for me so far.

Yes, I've found them to be very impressive. The limited FOV of the AVP initially bothered me but I've since gotten used to it. The videos I appreciate more avoid quick cuts, and allow the viewer to really take in the environment.
 
I did find the basketball and American football immersive sports content from the store demo to be particularly impressive. Like you were really courtside.
 
This may be off track, but my videos in the photos app have suddenly turned real choppy. My other devices play them fine. I have rebooted and that didn`t help. Ant ideas? Thanks
 
A new Wildlife and Adventure episode is out. The wildlife one in particular is about tiger sharks. Perhaps the most impressive episode yet!
