Tutorial: How to watch iPhone and Vision Pro spatial video on the Quest 3
Meta has officially added support for viewing Apple's 3D spatial video in the Quest headsets. Find out how below.
How to view iPhone spatial videos on the Meta Quest 3
Simple instructions for watching your iPhone spatial videos on the Quest 3:
- Record your 3D spatial video using your iPhone 15 Pro
- Upload your videos via the iPhone Meta app (load them to Meta's gallery like with any other video)
- You will see your spatial videos in the Files app on the Quest, in a Spatial Video folder
How to view Vision Pro spatial videos on the Meta Quest 3
This works on the same principle as with the iPhone, but requires these extra steps:
- Record spatial video on your Vision Pro
- Then airdrop the spatial video from your Vision Pro to your iPhone
- From your iPhone, upload the spatial video to the Meta Quest mobile app
What's the quality like?
The results are mixed, and don't live up to the Vision Pro's high-quality micro-OLED 4K screens. However, keep in mind the Quest 3 is a fraction of the cost of the Vision Pro.
Spatial video specs:
- Video: 1080p
- Framerate: 30fps
On the Quest 3, the videos occasionally stutter and naturally look lower resolution on the Quest 3, but even on the Vision Pro the quality isn't crystal clear. It's a great way to test out recording immersive video though, without having to buy a dedicated camera. Also, see our guide for recording VR footage on the Quest 3.
