I want it like crazy. No chance I'll wear it in public after I pull the trigger.

I probably would throw it in my backpack on hikes to do some captures of stuff like waterfalls and nice mountain views. They're really nice and not something you can do with my regular camera.

How does that work? Does it stitch together panoramas?

So I asked, and you can't do captures to use for the backgrounds with the headset (I'm guessing they use better equipment and maybe some processing), but it does do "spatial photos and video". That was part of the demo in the store and they're really impressive. The 15 pro can also capture a 3D video that still looks cool, but has noticeably less depth than the captures with the headset.

I'm not sure the exact technical details, but there are a whole bunch of cameras and other sensors. I'm assuming it uses all of them combined to capture the 3D photos. But there was a lot of depth in the version I saw in the demo.

That’s why I bought one. To record spatial videos. I already tried it and without the straps (which pop off easily) you just pick it up and hold it like a camera, record video with your hands on it like a camcorder, then put it back down. It’s very much like just putting an old school camcorder to your eye for a few seconds. And there is no way in hell I’m wearing it in public except on an airplane maybe
