News Update : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, June 24, 2025

Two things to announce today:

1.) We made good progress with our Multi View Capture (MVC) efforts yesterday, better than we expected, & we now want to see how far we can take it by day's end today.

We're basically evaluating it on a day-by-day basis.

If we continue to make good progress it will (no doubt) "open up" Brand-New Opportunities.

We'd be able to take it in alot of different directions.

And BTW, there's 5K lines of code both in Photosets & in Photosets TV/Studio that we're basically resurrecting.

And it was ALL extensively tested years ago.

As a reminder, we couldn't get it working "reliably" years ago.

Some Mac interrupt would randomly crash the MVC session.

So far, over the past 24 hours, we've NOT seen that !

Also, importantly, Photosets TV/Studio, acting as the Mac-based MVC master,
is (fully) coded to support up-to "3" MVC slaves.

i.e., up to "3" iPhones.

That's where the Multi View aspect of it comes into play.

Also, for clarity, there are three buttons on the Photosets TV/Studio UI that control the Camera's shutter on each of the MVC slaves.

2.) We're fully convinced that Iran will play The Long Game.

NOT Rocket Science.

Hopefully, the where-abouts of the 409 kg of 60% enriched uranium is The Top Priority for our U.S. Govt.

News Update : 4:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Monday, June 23, 2025

FYI, because our Multi View Capture feature is based-upon Apple's Multipeer Connectivity framework, & because we never got it working reliably years ago between iPhones running Photosets (acting as MVC slaves) & a Mac running Photosets TV (acting as "the" MVC master), we've decided to pivot back to that combo & see if we can get it working reliably with updated Hardware (i.e., newer iPhones & a newer Mac) & Software (i.e., newer iOS & newer macOS).

We kept ALL the code in-place, we just disabled it to End Users.

And BTW, the last time we tested a Mac as the MVC master was 2022 !

And that was probably with an 11 Pro Max (acting as the MVC slave).

The gist, our plan is to (soon) release MVC master support for M4+ iPad Pros.

But before doing so, we'd naturally like to have as much Test Data as possible.

If ALL goes well, we may RE-release Photosets TV to the General Public.

Also, please note that we've moved the relevant MVC docs to the bottom of this webpage.

We'll keep them there for now.

Eventually, they'll end-up on our Photosets User Guide webpage.

Section 5. Multi View Capture

First some background, for 7+ months, starting in Dec of 2020, Cosmosent R&D was working hard on adding Multi View Capture (MVC) support to Photosets (acting as an MVC session "slave") & our Mac app Photosets TV (acting as the MVC session "master").

Lots of code was Developed & Tested.

We could NOT get it working reliably.

We ultimately concluded that some interrupt in the Mac was causing the MVC session to terminate.

And we could NOT resolve it, even with Apple's help.

So, we put it on the Back Burner.

On May 15, 2024, the day Apple released their M4 iPad Pro, we ordered one, with the intention of resurrecting our MVC efforts, & this time with the M4 iPad Pro as the MVC session "master".

We worked on it for just a few weeks, something else more-important came up, so we put it on the Back Burner.

And then we simply forgot about it.

i.e., it Fell thru the Cracks.

Yesterday, Saturday, June 21, 2025, we again resurrected our MVC efforts.

And this time we've made it our Top Priority, & will stick with it until released.

Please note that this also effectively means that our AI & ML efforts have been temporarily moved to the Back Burner.

Which we're OK with, as that will take much longer for us to complete to our satisfaction.

Many months in fact, vs perhaps just 1-2 weeks to complete & release MVC.

We have alot of MVC code already in-place.

And, we have our Photosets TV to test our M4 iPad Pro implementation against.

Fair chance we'll have it ALL completed & be able to release it by month's end.

Make NO mistake, this should add $250M USD to Cosmosent Labs, Inc.'s market cap !

And, worth, at a MIN, 10x that to Apple !

Think both iPhone Unit Sales & M4+ iPad Pro Unit Sales.

For the Record, from our perspective, if we had released it a year ago, Apple would have sold alot more M4 iPad Pros !

And you wouldn't see the discounts on Amazon that we've ALL seen the past 6+ months.

---> MVC does below will be updated throughout today <---

● MVC supports (1) Master + up-to (3) Slaves per MVC session.

● Each MVC Slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC Master.

● The MVC Master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session.

● As a reminder, MVC is strictly ONE Camera View per iPhone.

● ~~Photosets TV/Studio, our FREE macOS app, is currently the ONLY supported MVC Master.~~

Beginning with v25.403, out soon, you'll be able to use your M4+ iPad Pro as the MVC "master".

We may OR may NOT bring-back our Mac-based Photosets TV app as an option.

📌 Apple's Final Cut Camera app vs. Photosets' Multi-View Capture (MVC) feature

(table last updated 6 PM, Sunday, May 12, 2024)

		Apple's Final Cut Camera app + Apple's $49 USD/year Final Cut for iPad 2 software	Photosets' MVC feature

Live Monitoring of up-to 4 different angles of a single scene i.e., up-to Four Feeds		✔	✔

Individual Control of each Feed		✔ (1)	✔ (2)

Video capture		✔	-

High-Precision Timing Burst Photo capture (+ optional concurrently captured Audio data)		-	✔

Captured Content stored on the Master		✔	✔ (3)

Captured Content stored on the Slaves		-	✔

Master	iPhone	-	-
	iPad	✔	✔ (soon)
	Mac	-	✔ (4)

Slaves	iPhone	✔	✔
	iPad	✔	✔ (soon)
	Mac	-	-

Craft Short-Form, Multi-Scene Videos with up-to 60 scenes from the Captured Content		?	✔ (5)

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls.

(2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app.

(3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session.

(4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio.

(5) Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, Multi-Scene Video Maker with Rock Solid A/V Sync support.

You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad, OR on a Mac with the assistance of our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app, which supports custom App Group-based Content Sharing with Photosets running on a Mac.

See the relevant table at the bottom of this webpage.

How we plan to test

Our initial focus is offering a solid & robust single-user solution, that builds-upon what Photosets has offered for over five years.

i.e., its Multi View Capture (MVC) feature.

(table last updated 9:30 PM, Sunday, May 12, 2024)

Use-Case	Multi View Capture
Use-Case	Master	Slave #1	Slave #2	Slave #3	Slave #4

iPad + iPhone	OLED M4 iPad Pro	15 Pro Max	-	-	NA

Mac + iPhone + iPad	M1 MacBook Air	15 Pro Max	OLED M4 iPad Pro	-	-

1.) When the MVC Master is an iPad, it is expected that the iPad's Back Wide Camera will participate in the MVC session.

And as such, ONLY three MVC slaves are supported for this Use-Case.

2.) When the MVC Master is a Mac, up-to four Slaves can participate in the MVC session.
