Imagine your car pulling over mid-drive to ask, “How’s your experience so far?” Ridiculous…until you realize that’s exactly how many apps behave now. How we normalized being interrupted by the products we bought to do work. Backseat Software: blog.mikeswanson.com/backseat-sof...

I hope you enjoy my new post explaining how to use the open source x265 encoder and the NVIDIA Video Codec SDK to encode stereoscopic video with MV-HEVC. As always, it's a bit technical, but I hope you learn something useful in the process: blog.mikeswanson.com/mv-hevc-with...

Dean Zwikel just announced his Apple Immersive Video Creator (AIVC) tool for Windows 10/11. His free tool encodes stereoscopic video to MV-HEVC and includes the spatial metadata (vexu) necessary for playback on Apple Vision Pro. Great job, Dean! groups.google.com/g/aivc

10 years ago today. My app, Halftone 2 (a custom build), running on the Apple Store demo units. So long ago!

A reminder that my spatial tool can inject/modify Apple MV-HEVC Stereo Video (vexu, hfov) metadata keys without re-encoding. I mention this, because more people are starting to experiment with other tools like libx265 and NVIDIA's Video Codec SDK v13: blog.mikeswanson.com/spatial_docs...

I'm repeating my strong recommendation to check out Prima Immersive on Apple Vision Pro. When I talk about immersive video being the art of convincing you that you're someplace else, this is a perfect example. Absolutely one of the best immersive videos I've seen.
