visionOS 2.2 Adds Support for Watching Five Sports Games at Once With Multiview

[ke-iron]

So SharePlay is only for sports? What about the rest of movies and shows within the Apple TV app?

sorry just wanna ask… how would you be able to focus on watching five sports games at the same time?

Focus Modes.

>support for viewing spatial photos and videos that are embedded on web pages.

This sounds really interesting to me. I do love taking and spending time enjoying old spatial photos and videos I've taken. I wonder though - is there anywhere online that people are sharing spatial media?

Vimeo has plenty of 3D content…

When I did the AVP demo in the store, about a week or so after it was released, I was so motion sick for the next two hours that I couldn't even look at a tv without wanting to vomit. 🤢

I felt the same way when Tim Cook announced that the AVP would sell for $3,499.00. Plus tax. Plus lens inserts. Plus AppleCare (yeah, it's optional, but you'd be crazy not to get it). Well over $5,000. For a toy!

You only have one brain and can only focus on one thing at a time.

So, in the most literal sense, no human can watch anymore than one game at a time.

However, you could still constantly switch your focus between five games and then watch all of them inattentively.

Or just focus on one and then barely watch the remaining four, which is what most of us would default to unless we force ourselves to constantly switch focus. 😵‍💫

I recommend sticking to just one game. 😌

I recommend watching it on TV so you don't get dizzy and want to puke!

Same I would prefer having 5 camera views at the same time so I can decide which view I want, instead of someone else deciding for me

It is actially available now, at least in EU, together with MacOS 15.2 (which fixes glitches in Arc, yay).

I have a 77” flanked by 4 65” on one wall and a 120” projector on the wall next to that which is used in a quad box setup to have redone and all 8 NFL games onto once

It’s doable, it’s not like there’s an active play going on with every game. I’d rather have too much content than not enough lol

Sounds like it wasn't fully optimized for your unique eyes? Aren't they actually building something into AVP to directly deal with motion sickness?

As for 5 shows at once, how does sound work? Do you hear sound from all 5 at once, or does the sound fade in and out as you look at each one? (that would be cool!)

 

[coolfactor]

Oh wow, another reason to NEVER buy this idiotic device!

I don't want to watch ONE sportsball game, let alone five.

Just curious, but when the realization that you were wrong about something hits, do you admit it to yourself?

Did you ever see Back to the Future where the 3D shark launches towards them? Real 3D video in 3D space is coming, but until then, we need headsets to achieve it.

I wouldn't even watch a single sports stream - let alone five

Thanks for letting us know.

Have you ever seen retirees playing 12 or 15 bingo cards at once?

Apparently some sports fans have similar skills.
