When viewing this content material in 2D, just one eye of frames is proven, making it looks like a 2D airplane. By activating the second set of frames within the different eye of the headset, the content material is then viewable in 3D.
The Imaginative and prescient Professional is due in early 2024 with pricing beginning at US$3,499. Nonetheless, it apparently will solely be out there in restricted portions at first.
