Apple's Immersive Video Shooting for VisionPro Revealed through MLS Photos

TapTechNews May 29 news, Apple has not yet revealed how to shoot immersive videos for VisionPro, but photos of the Major League Soccer (MLS) game have revealed the camera equipment it uses.

Recently, a Reddit user, Joe-notabot, uploaded a set of photos, showing for the first time clearly the camera system that Apple used in the game between the Seattle Sounders and the Portland Timbers of MLS.

There have been rumors before that Apple is using a VR camera system to shoot the content of Apple TV+. However, the photos uploaded by Joe-notabot not only show the camera itself more clearly, but also reveal some details about the camera placement.

Although the photos do not fully reveal the details of the entire camera system, it can be seen that one of the cameras uses a Dionic 26V98Wh lithium-ion battery produced by AntonBauer, which costs more than 700 US dollars (TapTechNews note: currently about 5075 RMB), with a huge capacity.

It is reported that Apple used eight cameras in this MLS game, and about half of them are in a fixed position. Two cameras are placed on the elevated platform inside the goal line behind the goal, and some other cameras are placed respectively above the player's bench, above the center line behind the stands of the fans, and near the sideline. The remaining three cameras can move and are carried by photographers to shoot flexibly in the stadium.

These photographers refused to disclose the details of their work, but were only photographed changing memory cards during halftime.

So far, Apple has only released a small number of short immersive sports video clips.
