Optimizing 180° Stereoscopic Cinematography for Apple Vision Pro

This project used experimental short film A Larger Living Space as a testbed for our capture strategies and post production pipeline. Apart from leading the authorship of this publication, Stanley served as the director of photography on this shoot. Fully processed sample footage can be downloaded below for viewing in Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3.
