Title says it all. I'd love to see the pro display screen saver going when I get to my desk. Any ideas?

Pro display moving screen saver?

I’m not asking how to enable screen savers, I’m looking for the screen saver specifically pictured above, the Pro Display XDR screensaver.
That's not what you asked ... and that jpeg that you posted does not show a screensaver. It shows a background image (wallpaper) 
But, yes, I have seen the screensaver that you are actually wanting. There's a youtube or two of that animation. But, no indication that video can be used directly as a screensaver. I wouldn't know how to use it as such. Maybe you do...
I did some quick searches, finding the high-res background images, but nothing about the screensaver, other than those youtube videos.
I wonder if the MacPro comes with that screensaver - or if connecting the XDR enables that screensaver as part of the default setup when you actually have an XDR display connected?
Or, maybe the background image itself is animated, similar to other Apple stock backgrounds that adapt to the time of day

Yeah, I posted a screen shot of the “screen saver” I’m hoping is downloadable. I have the Mac Pro and the Pro Display, it’s not enabled. But it is playing at every Apple store that has the Pro Display XDR. Oh well here’s hoping they release it
Does the static background image have any kind of animation?
Apple stores may have that as part of the in-store demo software that runs on all store display models.
Maybe: "Hey, can I get a copy of the screensaver that you have running on that XDR display"
Seems like there would be two possible answers there.

I’ll try next time I’m in, but odds are you will need the admin password to access the library
