Has Meta stolen Apple's Vision Pro Thunder ?

So announcing the support of Spatial Video just the day before the Vision Pro becomes available in stores sounds like a real spoiler for Meta on Apple's big day, and to a small extent it was. But really it was just an attempt to ride on the publicity generated by the Vision Pro, which is amazingly helpful for Meta as well as Apple. Meta has been the lone major company pushing VR in recent years and with Apple fully joining the party there is nothing but good news for Meta from my perspective. If anything Apple has helped by considerably raising the cost bar for the value at which people consider the VR kits can reasonably be sold. Also it was not really a major shift from their perspective either, they already support 3D video on the Meta Quest 3 and earlier editions. And how much of a change is it to display spatial video when it is mostly 3D video with a few extras?

Nevertheless we congratulate both companies and would like to see their ranks swelled with many more supporting 3D video and perhaps get more people producing more 3D content for all. 3A.
