Spatial video lets users capture and relive moments in 6DoF, which means they can move and look around in any direction in the recorded scene.

6DoF (Six Degrees of Freedom) technology enables spatial video by capturing and displaying scenes from various angles and direction: Up-down, left-right, and forward-backward.
