Anyone know if the Environments in Apple Vision Pro are 360 or 180 degrees?

I'm hopeful there will be a way to build our own environments.

180 degrees. If you turn beyond that, it's just Tim Cook smiling at you 4 inches from your face, charging up a *GOOOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOOORNING*
Hahaha! Oh god, that would be so horrifying! :D

You sit there silently, enjoying the view, but, little do you know.....

I’m hopeful Apple will allow the 3rd Party creation of Environments. Anyone know if that’s a capability accessible to Devs?

Also, I’d love to just be able to set one of my panoramas as an Environment.

I agree, environments are going to be the new wallpaper. But you probably remember Apple didn’t have user customizable wallpaper until iOS 4. Not sure why they kept it locked down but I worry the same will happen here.

I like live environments. I hope for more of those. Do they have optional ambient noise? I wish they would.

Environments are full sphere and have ambient noise with adjustable volume, except for Moon because there is no sound in space. Even the app launcher plays ambient music when it is visible.

I love environments. Im shocked Apple didn’t ask content creators to create environments for use on AVP.

Just found an interesting app…it’s called Flowriter. In it, you can prompt an AI to create an environment…using language like in midjourney. It then offers a Rich Text writing space where you could write in that environment. But you can’t do anything else. But I found the AI generated Environments per my prompts to be interesting. The image quality isn’t great, but this concept could evolve.

I really think environments have so much potential.

I would love to find out how to get a high quality camera, perform specific camera movements to collect enough data to process for a super detailed 360 view. We could capture local areas that resonate with us.

We've been discussing that here:

Maybe to make your own environment, Apple or a third party will make a camera app/mode that can capture an entire environment, not just 180 or even 360 pano but a whole spherical view. Wouldn’t be live though unfortunately, just static. Maybe that app already exists, but of course Apple would need to support bringing in the file.

If we can’t make our own Environments in a later release, I hope Apple makes many, many more Environments. We definitely need more than what’s currently shown.
