With 23 million pixels spread across two 4K displays (one per eye), the Apple Vision Pro features an incredibly detailed display. Combine that with the ability to look around the spatial virtual reality environment, and now you are facing an exorbitant amount of pixels required to fill this insatiable hunger for resolution and details. Such high demands lead to a problem in finding a camera that may opt to fulfill them. Canon representatives claim that no camera available today can do it. In a recently published interview, PetaPixel’s Jaron Schneider discussed these challenges with a contingent of Canon executives. They’ve all emphasized the importance of augmented and virtual reality (AR, VR), and they’ve also claimed no camera today can provide such a demanding video feed. While this claim is probably mathematically true, I’d like to dissect it, because in my eyes things aren’t so simple or decisive. The Apple Vision Pro displays are only one small component While the dual displays are impressive in their own right, it’s the spatial nature of the Apple Vision Pro that really raises the bar here. Once the user moves their head, new visual information streams across into the twin displays. As long as this information comes from the device’s camera array there’s no problem, but if it originates from an external imagery or video then the source material must cover an incredible amount of detail.
