| 0:00.0 | So I know the iPhone 17 may it's like a week away at this point and that's what we should be spending this whole episode talking about. But do you know what I want to start the show with this week? I do know because I looked in the shoneys. Well, yeah, but it's not baseball. It's Coldplay. And the reason for this is that so Coldplay is doing 10 shows at Wembley Stadium in London this month, and people at the shows have spotted |
| 0:23.8 | the black magic. What is it, the USRA sin immersive cameras, the cameras that can shoot |
| 0:29.6 | immersive video for Applevision Pro. Yeah, the only cameras currently that are licensed to shoot |
| 0:33.4 | immersive video. And they've spotted those throughout Wembley Stadium, pointing at the stage, |
| 0:37.6 | pointed at the crowd. So the implication seems to be that Colplay is shooting something |
| 0:42.6 | in immersive video that at some point in the future, probably not the near future. At some |
| 0:47.7 | point in the future, you'll be able to watch on Vision Pro. This was posted on Twitter by |
| 0:52.4 | Neil and he's a Colplay fan who's going to all 10 Wembley |
| 0:56.3 | shows, which is crazy. And then our friend Sigman Judge spotted it too. And he added that it's |
| 1:01.2 | being shot by Piper Films for a future immersive video project. Nothing really beyond that at this |
| 1:07.2 | point. But for me, anyway, this would be, if I didn't have a Vision Pro already, this would be the thing |
| 1:13.0 | that would make me think, huh? |
| 1:14.4 | I kind of wish I had a Vision Pro. |
| 1:16.8 | Well, maybe you can buy a Vision Pro too very shortly. |
| 1:21.7 | Watch it with the M4 chip instead of the M5 chip. |
| 1:25.4 | But one thing I've seen in response to some of the posts on Twitter about this is |
| 1:28.7 | Colplay fans being concerned or worried or upset that this concert film might only be |
| 1:34.5 | available on Apple Vision Pro because most people don't have it and there would be a waste to |
| 1:39.0 | shoot it only in that format. |
| 1:40.9 | So if they only release it on Vision Pro, there will definitely be some pushback. |
| 1:44.0 | But I think |
| 1:44.3 | the hope is that it's, there's a normal concert film that comes from this as well as some sort |
