Apple should have used 16k Video for immersive...

This new Prima immersive app that does 16k 90hz is super impressive visually. The people look real. it just needs content.

Yes. It is the first concert video that is just as good quality wise as Apple's releases. As they seem to be very engaged looking forward to their future releases. Well worth the $3.99.

Not available in Germany as of right now but I just tried out 'Mindscape Immersive' which has some 16k stills and 8 or 4K videos. The 16K 360 photos look real! I think 16K is the sweet spot for realism right now.

It's mind-blowing. I thought we are years away from the quality the Prima guys managed to do. It's better than what Apple is releasing.

now they just need some actual content... kinda odd to relate an app just to showcase a single video of a random folk group

I suspect they don't have the funding to hire top-level talent at this point. However, I don't think it's fair to say this wasn't "actual content." The performance wasn't something I typically am attracted to, but the quality and sense of realism were so good I watched several times. I asked the company when more videos would be released. IIRC, they said next month, with more to come after that.

Just watched the trailer and it’s incredible! Downloading the full episode now. I wonder if Apple shot their immersive video in 16k and just released as 8k for storage / streaming limitations.

hmm- given that even the new blackmagic ursa immersive is just 8k per eye, and the ursa cine with a single 16k sensor is pretty much the highest pixel camera out there afaik, I think it wouldn’t be easy to record in stereo 16k. I haven’t watched it yet but you guys are saying that the quality is visibly better than the apple immersive content? Is that even possible on 4K per eye displays?

I don’t wanna know how hard to edit 16k stereo footage would be, not to talk about the storage amounts during a shoot 😀

It is definitely an improvement over Apple Immersive, which is fantastic also. Download the trailer for free via the app.
