📌 FYI, our newest News Updates can typically be found on our Home Page. After a few days, they get moved here. Every now & then we move everything on this webpage to our "private" (secure) servers. We last did so at 7 AM, Tues, July 1, 2025. -----
News Update : 9:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, July 12, 2025 FYI, we've been Asked & have Agreed, to try to help clarify why we picked the M4 iPad Pro. i.e., as a Multi View Capture "master". First,, ask yourself, OR better yet, ask Google: Who has a vested interest in selling the M4 iPad Pro ? Notice the companies other than Apple & the reasoning stated. It's those other companies that we intend to partner with. And in the process very-likely significantly diminish the power of Apple's App Store. Second,, the M4 iPad Pro, which was released in May of last year, has NOT sold well. As evident by the discounts that we've previously mentioned. Third,, the M5 iPad Pro is expected to be announced, & possibly also released, in Oct. We don't see how it could be a market success without Photosets playing a major role. Make NO mistake, Apple has Billions of Dollars on the line. And, using one of Trump's phrases, we hold ALL the cards. Tim & Phil better be prepared to Bend the Knee. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 6 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, July 12, 2025 FYI, upon the release of the next update of Photosets, v25.403, out soon, every other app in Tim Cook's App Store will look like a little kid's app ! And it's NOT just because we're adding-back Multi View Capture (MVC) support, but how we're doing it. It's now a more comprehensive & robust feature, & importantly, we've added MVC "master" support for the M4 iPad Pro. And BTW, v25.403 includes updated MVC "slave" support for the four newest "Pro" iPhones. -----
News Update : 7:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, July 11, 2025 FYI, one more thing to announce today. We believe Apple's Generative AI strategy is the correct one. We believe Generative AI will become a commodity within just a few years. And that Apple will be able to pick-up what-ever it wants at a fraction of the cost by simply waiting it out. Generative AI is being driven by FOMO. Application Specific AI & ML should be the focus. Custom ML Training Data is key. -----
News Update : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, July 11, 2025 FYI, we've made an important decision today, Fri, July 11th, we're gonna include Multi View Capture in the next update of Photosets, v25.403, out soon ! It's a BIG deal if you have one of the four newest "Pro" iPhones + an M4 iPad Pro. And very specifically, our goal is to capture the M4 (& M5) iPad Pro market. On the day the M4 iPad Pro was released, May 15, 2024, we ordered one from Apple. Specifically, an 11" M4 iPad Pro. And naturally, we paid Full Price. i.e., $999 USD. Early this year, we noticed that the price had (routinely) dropped to as low as $849 USD. Which naturally is a crystal clear sign that it's NOT in high demand. To us, that represents opportunity. Photosets is one of the very rare apps that could be used as a major catalyst to increase
iPhone, iPad, & Mac unit sales. We've had NO luck gaining traction with Photosets in the App Store. But that has nothing to do with the app itself, ONLY with Apple's App Store Mgmt Team. Who we describe as being Technically Incompetent & Market Opportunity Ignorant. And yes, we're referring to Tim & Phil. They've had many chances to Fess Up to the Cover Up. And because the so-called Pro Stock Analysts who cover AAPL for a living don't know ANY better, the Cover Up has remained just that. And yes, here we're referring to Ives, Munster & even Niles. Those three should have known better ! And here's the kicker, we're gonna educate third-party companies (& their shareholders) who have a vested interest in selling iPhones, iPads, & Macs. E.g., Apple's cellular service provider partners, plus companies like Best Buy. Our goal (now) is to get the AAPL Board to Fess Up to the Cover Up. We think Tim & Phil are as good as gone. ALL goes well, we will be Responsible for, & get Credit for, the Complete Break Up of Apple's App Store monopoly ! It's NOT every day the AAPL Board & AAPL shareholders find-out that Apple's App Store Mgmt Team is responsible for Apple having left $113B+ USD of high-end iPhone revenue on the table over the years. Perhaps it's just NOT best for two men who have NO Engineering OR Software Development experinece, & NO known OR proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise to be allowed to continue to run the App Store. Food for thought ! And BTW, it was this article on Mac Rumors that got us thinking about an MVC strategy pivot: link to MR M5 iPad Pro article -----
News Update : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, July 10, 2025 Three things to announce today: 1.) Following-up on the success of our first-ever Multi View Capture-based Bikini & Summer Dress Photo Shoot yesterday, we're now investigating the possibility of Live Streaming future events. As a reminder, MVC slaves Live Stream their Camera's View to the MVC master. As such, to Live Stream an event we would ONLY need to enhance the MVC master. 2.) Yesterday, we hinted that we might enable 10-bit 422 4K Burst Photo Capture support in the next update of Photosets, v25.403, out soon. Today we want to announce that we hope to make a decision on that by day's end today. It's simply a Business Decision. The feature has been in the app for 9+ months, it's just NOT currently enabled for End Users. 3.) Photosets (& Photosets TV/Studio) offers significant value to ANY company whose Top & Bottom Lines are dependent-upon iPhone, iPad, & Mac unit sales. NOT ALL apps are creted equal. Most are just a UI on top of an Apple framework OR two. Our apps are at the other end of the spectrum. Mostly low-level code that complements Apple frameworks. Most App Devs have NO hope of ever becoming a Unicorn. We fully expect to reach that status by Summer's end ! And it could happen on ANY given day. We know what we have & we know just how catastrophically-broken Tim Cook's App Store actually is. It amazes us how little the AAPL Board knows about Apple's App Store ! NO ONE should be surprised if our success results in the Forced-Resignation of Cook & Schiller. Neither has ANY Engineering OR Software Development experience, & neither has ANY known of proven "Camera App" Domain/Application/Use-Case expertise. Go Figure ! And BTW, NOT just the AAPL Board, Ives, Munster, & even Niles missed it. i.e., that some types of third-party Camera Apps could act as major catalysts for
iPhone, iPad, & Mac Unit Sales. Go Figure ! -----
News Update : 8:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, July 9, 2025 First, we want to thank everyone who participated in our first-ever MVC Photo Shoot earlier today ! That was our first, but NOT our last; expect 2-3 every week till mid-Oct ! Second, we're thinking about enabling 10-bit 422 4K Burst Photo Capture support, plus its companion 10-bit ProRes 422HQ Video Maker support, in the next update of Photosets, v25.403. Multi View Capture (MVC) has become our focus & our top priority. And we don't plan on releasing that to the General Public. It's simply too valuable. On a side note, it's been more than a couple of weeks now since we realized & announced that Trump would very-likely be the very-last Far-Right OR Far-Left President. NO ONE else has yet picked up on "the why". Go Figure ! Come On People, it's NOT Rocket Science ! Don't force us to resurrect the Center-Right Independent Thinkers (CRIT) coalition. And BTW, we predict the next U.S. President will be an Engineer OR Scientist. And won't be a Billionaire. Trump's One, BIG (NOT so) Beautiful Bill should have included a Tax Rate Increase
for the Highest Income Earners. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 4 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, July 9, 2025 Two things to announce: 1.) Our first-ever Multi View Capture-based Bikini (& Summer Dress) Photo Shoot later today, Wed, July 9th, will represent a first of its kind Burst Photo Technology Showcase Event ! 2.) Starting with v25.403, out soon, "Pivoting to a Services Company"
will be the new App Store sub-title for Photosets. We simply want to make "our strategy" Crytal Clear to ALL potential Investors & Corp Partners. The Gist, there is NO real money to be made selling Photosets INSIDE the App Store. But OUTSIDE, there is significant financial opportunity selling Photosets-based Services. And in particular, Multi View Captured-based Services. -----
News Update : 7 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, July 8, 2025 FYI, we expect to kick off our first-ever Multi View Capture-based Beach Photo Shoot any day now ! If participating, wear your (sexiest) Bikini under your Favorite Summer Dress ! As a reminder, you'll be participating in a first of its kind Burst Photo Technology Showcase Event. The plan is to use the event to usher-in what we refer to as Dynamic Female Photo Modeling. And naturally using our Photosets, running on both a newer "Pro" iPhone & an M4 iPad Pro, & both under the control of our macOS app Photosets TV/Studio. NO other Company OR App Dev has anything like it ! -----
News Update : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, July 8, 2025 FYI, Wx-wise, today appears to mark the start of Summer here in La Jolla ! That means we can finally move forward with out planned Beach Photo Shoots. As a reminder, OR for those who are UN-aware, we'll be using those photo shoots to showcase Multi View Capture & GDB Detection. Also as a reminder, GDB Detection is Photosets' first-ever ML-based feature. -----
News Update : 8 PM (La Jolla-time) Monday, July 7, 2025 Two things to announce: 1.) Cosmosent R&D is now working concurrently on Multi View Capture (MVC) & GDB Detection. MVC for In House, GDB Detection for the next update of Photosets, v25.403. 2.) In ALL fairness to Tim Cook & Apple, Peter Navarro & Howard Lutnick don't know shit about Manufacturing ! And from where we sit, it's difficult to figure-out who is the more Clueless of the two. It doesn't make ANY economic sense for Apple to manufacture iPhones here in the States. Even for those sold here in the States. What Tim Cook needs to do is inform Trump that Apple will manufacture 2/3 of its iPhones outside of China by July 1st, 2027. That way, if/when China attacks Taiwan, ONLY 1/3 of iPhone manufacturing will be impacted. And here's the kicker, (this week) we believe Cook should ask Trump if it's OK
to establish a pilot (iPhone manufacturing) program in Cuba. For proximity to the U.S., that's about as good as you're gonna get. Cuban citizens would probably love it. And be totally into it. -----
News Update : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, July 7, 2025 FYI, as requested, here's an important Heads Up on our strategy: 1.) We intend to release the next update of Photosets, v25.403, by week's end. It's currently priced at ~$6 USD. 2.) We intend to release Photosets' "Premium" sub by month's end. It's priced at ~$12 USD per Year. 3.) Yesterday, we decided & announced that
we will NOT be RE-releasing Multi View Capture (MVC) to the General Public. It's simply too valuable ! We're keeping it as an In House Tool for our planned MVC-based Services. 4.) A near-term update of Photosets will include GDB Detection support. 5.) The strategy for Photosets' upcoming Drone Detection support is still TBD. 6.) We will NOT be RE-releasing Photosets TV/Studio to the General Public. We're keeping it as an In House Tool for our planned MVC-based Services. 7.) We expect 90% of our value will be tied to our MVC-based Services. The other 10% from the App Store. Once App Store consumers realize what they've missed-out on,
we predict Photosets will quickly become a very popular app. Should have happened years ago. Apple missed-out on alot of high-end iPhone revenue over the years. It's NOT our fault that Tim & Phil run Apple's App Store. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 3:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, July 7, 2025 FYI, we're determined to achieve Unicorn status ASAP, & NO later than End of Summer. We know what we have & we know just how catastrophically-broken Tim Cook's App Store actually is. Cosmosent R&D is firing on ALL cylinders & can be left alone. The company's Marketing & Business Development efforts is where changes are needed. So, starting today, we'll be trying something new, we'll be promoting a different Feature OR Capability of Photosets every week. This week, it's Photosets' FIFO-based Long Press (Burst Photo Capture) Shutter support ! On a side note, today we do want to pubicly state that when it comes to Science, Trump can't be trusted ! The tragedy in Texas could have & should have been prevented ! The Musk-led DOGE cuts very-likely played a role ! It's NOT OK for Trump to just brush that off. He should Fess Up to the Screw Up & announce corrective actions. We may need to resurrect the Center-Right Independent Thinkers (CRIT) coalition. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 8 PM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, July 6, 2025 FYI, we've made some important Business decisions today. First, we won't be releasing Multi View Capture (MVC) to the General Public. We'll be keeping it as an In House Tool for our planned MVC-based Services. Which we plan to Kick Off later this week ! Second, we do plan on soon releasing Photosets' GDB Detection feature. And BTW, alot of thought & discussions went into today's decisions. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5 PM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, July 6, 2025 FYI, today we've been Asked & have Agreed, NOT to release Multi View Capture (MVC)
until AFTER we've Agreed to Terms. Cosmosent R&D will continue to work on it. Custom Object Detection still TBD. On a side note, we've just dropped the App Store price of Photosets by half to ~$6 USD. If/when we decide to include MVC in Photosets, it will go back up to its regular price of ~$12 USD. -----
News Update : 11 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, July 6, 2025 FYI, Photosets v25.403, out soon, may OR may NOT include Multi View Capture (MVC). Our Business Strategy for our planned MVC-based Services is NOT yet completely nailed down. The Gist, it could be worth alot more to us strictly as an In House Tool. How-best to control distribution of MVC is what we're currently (Hotly) Debating. Both internally & with potential Investors & Corp Partners. We get it right we'll be a Unicorn by Summer's end. -----
News Update : 4 AM (La Jolla-time) Sunday, July 6, 2025 FYI, we hope to have ALL of the Information on our website cleaned-up & updated by day's end today. Also, for clarity, we're NOT a start up, we're a ten year old R&D company. And BTW, every technical member of Cosmosent Labs, Inc. has a BSEE degree from a top university here in the States. Many from Cal Poly, SLO. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 5:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, July 5, 2025 Cosmosent Labs, Inc. is today announcing that the company plans to soon Agree to Terms at a pre-money valuation of $250M USD, & with ONLY the company selling shares. When completed, Investors & Corp Partners will own 10% of Cosmosent Labs, Inc. i.e., 10% ownership for $25M USD. Also, importantly, before that happens "we've agreed" to clean-up & update our website to reflect our curent Business Strategy. Also, as a reminder, BIG picture perspective, we're building a Suite of High-Value Services on top of Multi View Capture (MVC), which runs on top of Photosets' core infrastructure. -----
News Update : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, July 5, 2025 FYI, our current plan is to release the next update of Photosets, v25.403, with the 2025 version of Multi View Capture (MVC), & then a week OR so later RE-release our macOS app Photosets TV/Studio, also with the 2025 version of MVC. Also, for clarity, those with both a newer "Pro" iPhone & an M4 iPad Pro will benefit the most with Photosets v25.403. That is, until Photosets TV/Studio is out. -----
News Update : 5 AM (La Jolla-time) Saturday, July 5, 2025 FYI, it hit us this morning that it might be possible for us to convice President Trump to Amend his One BIG Beautiful Bill so that our E90 M3 Lite would qualify for the Interest Write-Off Deduction. Currently, the benefit ONLY applies to New Car Loans. We believe it might be possible to have that expanded to Used Cars with a RE-built Engine. Specifically, one 100% RE-built here in America. We think Trump would really like that ! As a reminder, earlier this year after just-having had a Valve Stem Oil Seal R&R job performed & new VANOS components installed, we looked-into having Ductile Iron Sleeves installed in the N52 in our prototype E90 M3 Lite. Specifically, boring the AluSil cylinder walls 0.5 mm & having 0.5 mm Ductile Iron Sleeves installed (with new piston rings). The kicker, we'd need custom manufacturing to do what we want & certainly at scale. But once we had that in-place, we'd have NO competition. And NOT just here in the States, but WorldWide. And for clarity, we're NOT after Highest-Performance, we're after Highest-Reliability. In our prototype 2006 E90 M3 Lite with its stock N52, the performance is (already) Outstanding, especially Off the Line. And that's with 219K miles on the car & the engine. But, our N52 consumes alot of oil now, & the Valve Stem Oil Seal R&R Job didn't fix the problem. Also, as a reminder, its curb weight is ONLY 3300 lbs ! Add into the mix BMW's highly-prized Hydraulic-assist power steering & BMW's 6-speed manual transmission, & you've got something that those who know cars well will take notice. See the relevant Info on our Company webpage for some background. -----
News Update : 11:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, July 4, 2025 Good News to Report, once we're confident that the 2025 version of Multi View Capture (MVC) is both Full-Featured & Robust, we intend to immediately RE-release our macOS-based app, Photosets TV/Studio (with the updated feature). As a reminder, Photosets TV/Studio is one of two MVC "master" options. It supports two MVC "slaves". vs. ONLY ONE with the M4 iPad Pro. i.e., the other MVC "master" option. And for clarity, we intend to offer Photosets TV/Studio ONLY via this website,
priced at $11.99 USD & with FREE updates for two years. -----
News Update : 10:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, July 4, 2025 One more thing to announce today. We've decided to dissolve the Center-Right Independent Thinkers (CRIT) coalition. NO ONE here has time for it, & even though everyone here is a U.S. citizen,
NO ONE here wants to end up in South Sudan. It is what it is. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 6:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Friday, July 4, 2025 FYI, we've been Asked & have Agreed, to list what we'll be working on till Monday morning: 1.) Enhancing, Refining, & Field Testing Multi View Capture (MVC): Case #1, Photosets TV/Studio running on a Mac acting as the MVC "master" & with both a (newer) "Pro" iPhone & an M4 iPad Pro acting as MVC "slaves". Case #2, Photosets running on an M4 iPad Pro acting as the MVC "master" & with a (newer) "Pro" iPhone acting as the MVC "slave". As a reminder, ALL MVC slaves run Photosets. For case #2, the M4 iPad Pro's camera is under MVC UI control. For both cases, the MVC master's Remote Shutter Buttons now, as of yesterday, can (optionally) operate under BT remote control. i.e., two levels of Indirection ! 2.) Cleaning-up & updating the MVC docs on our website. 3.) The Business Strategy for the "Premium" sub. 4.) The Business Strategy for our Photosets TV/Studio Mac-based app. 5.) Preparing for our first Beach Photo Shoot next week. And naturally here we'll be using MVC. 6.) Crafting our own Terms to counter ANY offer. You know the value of what we've created & you wouldn't be talking to us if you didn't also feel that way. So let's just cut to the chase. We are uniquely-positioned to achieve Unicorn status by Summer's end. If you want to come along for the ride, you're more than welcome. WRT strategy, the important thing to know is that Tim Cook's App Store is catastrophically-broken. And will very-likely NEVER get fixed with Tim & Phil running it. The Gist, a proper Marketing Budget can easily circumvent the problem ! We don't need an Investment for R&D. We need an Investment for a proper Marketing & Branding Campaign. 100% of which will be done OUTSIDE the App Store. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 2 PM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, July 3, 2025 Today, July 3rd, Cosmosent R&D enhanced MVC so that the master's Remote Shutter Buttons (optionally) operate under BT remote control ! That's two levels of indirection ! -----
News Update : 11 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, July 3, 2025 Because it (probably) won't be obvious to most, here & now we want to try to make it so. Photosets with Multi View Capture (MVC) support becomes "a Platform" for running (select)
High-End Services. i.e., those Services that leverage Photosets' existing Features & Capabilities & which greatly benefit from the "remote control" nature of MVC. As we stated earlier today: We're working on some (High-End Services), but there's alot more that we're NOT working on that others could run with. And BTW, this is very-likely to be Way Over the Heads of Apple's App Store Mgmt Team. So you probably won't hear anything about it from Apple. Even though it has the potential to generate more Enthusiasm for NEW Apple devices
than anything Apple is doing. Food for thought. Also BTW, it's NOT our fault that Tim & Phil run Apple's App Store. We encourage the AAPL Board to fix the problem. -----
News Update : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Thursday, July 3, 2025 FYI, Enhancing, Refining, & Field Testing our custom Multi View Capture (MVC) feature is probably the ONLY thing Cosmosent R&D will be working on today, & until released. Marketing will be working on updating the MVC docs later today. As a reminder, MVC has become our newest Flagship-caliber feature. It has NO equal ! A week OR so ago, & simply on a whim, we decided to resurrect our MVC feature, just to see if we could get it working with newer hardware & software. It didn't work right out of the box. But it also didn't take us long to start having success with it. Past few days we've been having remarkable success ! And NOT just with the low-level code, but also with Enhancing & Refining the UI (WRT product positioning & Ease of Use). Even in its pre-Release state it's a much better product feature now than it ever was back in June 2021.
That's when we put it on the Back Burner, after failing to get it to work "reliably" after having worked on it for six plus months.
i.e., due to some random PC interrupt that kept killing the low-level networking session. We were UN-able to resolve that issue even with Apple's assistance. The newer hardware & software appears to have resolved that issue. The Gist, MVC has been given a 2nd chance at life ! And, because of its intrinsic value & what it enables us to do moving forward,the entire company has Rallied around it. Unicorn status by Summer's end is NOT out of reach ! Make NO Mistake, robust MVC in Photosets & Photosets TV/Studio has Game Changer potential. Especially with High-End Services. We're working on some, but there's alot more that we're NOT working on that others could run with. We are at the Forefront of something entirely new. -----
BREAKING NEWS : 12 Noon (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, July 2, 2025 FYI, Cosmosent R&D has added a first-cut of Multi View Capture (MVC) "master" support to Photosets for the M4 iPad Pro & is now using that platform for 50% of its MVC testing. And naturally, the other 50% of MVC Testing uses our macOS app Photosets TV/Studio. Which BTW, has had comprehensive MVC master support since June 2021. -----
News Update : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, July 2, 2025 FYI, one more important update to clarify the BIG picture perspective,
especially WRT our Business Strategy moving forward: 1.) Multi View Capture (MVC) piggy-backs on Photosets' existing Features & Capabilities. 2.) Ideally, ALL new (subsequent) Features & Capabilities would piggy-back on MVC. And that includes Photosets' (near-future) Application Specific Object Detection. And BTW, NO ONE should UNDER-estimate the significance of Object Detection running on top of MVC. 3.) We plan to soon offer our macOS app Photosets TV/Studio via this website, priced at $11.99 USD, & with FREE updates for two years. 4.) We plan to soon offer Photosets' "Premium" sub via this website, priced at $11.99 USD per Year. 5.) If someone was to purchase everything we offer, the 1st Year costs would cost them $11.99 USD (for Photosets) + $11.99 USD (for Photosets TV/Studio) + $11.99 USD (for Photosets' Premium sub). i.e., $11.99 USD x 3 = ~$36 USD. And here's the Kicker, once iPhone, iPad, & Mac owners realize what they can do with Photosets & Photosets TV/Studio, we believe many, perhaps most, will consider it to be an Exceptional Bargain, expecially considering what they paid for their Apple hardware. Our goal is 10M New Customers per Year. And, we consider that to be a realistic, conservative goal. Could easily be 2x OR 3x that. ALL goes well, we'll hit Unicorn status before Summer's end. Very few know what we've been up to. We expect that to soon change. -----
News Update : 7:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, July 2, 2025 FYI, we've updated one of our tables to make it easier to figure-out how the M4 iPad Pro fits into the mix, as well as how things should look by mid-Summer. Also, while we do believe we will soon be "generating more enthusiasm" for iPhone & iPad owners to upgrade than Apple, we have NO clue as to whether that Enthusiasm will in-deed translate into significant iPhone & iPad Unit Sales. And, more importantly, it's NOT our concern. We're pursuing Innovative High-End Services. That's where the (real) money is. And that's where our Corp Partnerships come into play. Think specific Domains & Applications/Use-Cases made possible by the Features & Capabilities of Photosets & Photosets TV/Studio. And Make NO Mistake, Unicorn status is within reach by Summer's end. Off the Radar of most, but should NOT be. And BTW, we will be doing our best to make it Crystal Clear to ALL just how much iPhone, iPad, & Mac revenue Apple left on the table over the years because of their "stance" on Photosets & the other Flagship-caliber Burst Photo Camera Apps. Here we assume there may be others, but we really don't know of any. It's NOT in the best interest of AAPL shareholders that Phil Schiller runs Apple's App Store. Why Tim Cook & the rest of the AAPL Board is oblivious to the obvious is Extremely Puzzling. Here we assume Cook kept the AAPL Board in the loop "on the issue" over the years. But that may NOT have been the case. Time will tell. If Cook soon gets the boot you'll know why. And for clarity, Apple dug themselves into the hole that they are now in. We had very little to do with it. Cover Ups always get people in trouble. Just ask Bill Clinton.

(1) Supports up-to "3" MVC slaves. Note that our preference is to RE-release our Mac-based Photosets TV/Studio app via our website,
priced at $11.99 USD, & with FREE updates for two years. (2) Supports "1" MVC slave. For this case, the iPad's Camera is under MVC UI control. -----
News Update : 9 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, July 1, 2025 FYI, one more important announcement before closing shop for the day. We want to clarify the MVC master configurations we'll be supporting: 1.) When Photosets TV/Studio running on a Mac is the MVC master,
you can have up up-to "3" iPhones and/or iPads operating as MVC slaves. 2.) When Photosets running on an iPad is the MVC master,
you can have ONLY "1" iPhone or iPad operating as the MVC slave. For this special case, the iPad's camera is ALSO under MVC UI control. This is the simplest form of Multi View Capture. One slave + the master's camera.
For both cases, MVC slaves live stream their Cameras to the MVC master. Among other things, the MVC master remotely controls the Camera Shutter (action) on ALL MVC slaves. Captured photos are stored ONLY on the MVC slaves. Also, we did NOT get a chance today to clean-up & update the Multi View Capture docs at the bottom of this webpage. Hopefully tomorrow. -----
News Update : 6 PM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, July 1, 2025 FYI, we crafted a new table to help clarify things. Among other things, how we're planning for the future. i.e., what we expect Apple to announce in Sept. The Gist, we're coding Multi View Capture (MVC) based-upon our expectations for Sept. As a reminder, MVC slaves live stream their captureOutput: content to the MVC master. The MVC master controls which Camera (i.e., Wide OR Tele) & Mode (Native OR 2x) each MVC slave is live streaming. Stated differently, the MVC "master" (remotely) controls Wide / Wide 2x / Tele / Tele 2x "transitions"
on up-to 3 MVC "slaves" ! The MVC master also controls the Camera Format (i.e., 4K30, 4K60, 4K120, or 12 Mpx) for each MVC slave. Also, for clarity, ultimately we'll support two MVC masters, one Mac-based running our Photosets TV/Studio app, & another M4+ iPad Pro-based running Photosets. We currently do ALL of our MVC testing with our Mac-based MVC master.

News Update : 10 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, July 1, 2025 FYI, quick update regarding the next update of Photosets, v25.403, out soon. We want to clarify that R&D has put Object Detection on the back burner, & will ONLY move it back to the front burner AFTER we've released what we consider to be a Full-Featured & Robust implementation of Multi View Capture (MVC). And naturally that includes lots of Field Testing. When released, it will have NO equal. Could be in just a day OR two, OR could take longer. ALL depends-upon the Field Testing. Also, as requested, we've cleaned-up our News webpage. -----
News Update : 6 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, July 1, 2025 FYI, today we are announcing that we may ONLY be a day OR two away from releasing the next update of Photosets, v25.403, with Multi View Capture (MVC) support. On a side note, today we'd like to also state that we would NOT be able to pull this off if we had NOT already devoted the 2500+ R&D hours that we did into it years ago. It was ALL fully-coded & tested years ago, but we couldn't get it to work reliably. So we put it on the back burner. A week OR so ago, & simply on a whim, we decided to resurrect MVC just to see if newer hardware & software might help. It didn't work right out of the box, but it also didn't take us long to start having success with it. And because of that, MVC is now our top priority ! Two days ago we began enhancing it to make it even more special. We may hit Unicorn status even before releasing the custom Object Detection support that we've been working on. -----
News Update : 6:30 PM (La Jolla-time) Monday, June 30, 2025 FYI, we'll soon be RE-releasing Multi View Capture (MVC) ! Supported MVC "slaves" are the four newest "Pro" iPhones + the M4 iPad Pro. Supported MVC "masters" still TBD. Cosmosent R&D has been prioritizing our macOS app, Photosets TV/Studio, for its MVC testing because it already included MVC "master" support when we resurrected it a week OR so ago, & because it's worked-out alot better than anyone here could have anticipated. If we can figure-out how to release it, Photosets TV/Studio is ONLY 1-2 days away from being Ready to Go. Please note that the MVC docs at the bottom of this webpage have NOT yet been clean'd-up & updated. E.g., it states the M4 iPad Pro is the MVC "master". That was before we knew how well our macOS-based app would perform. Flying Colors, actually ! In fact, we now estimate that Apple missed-out on at-least $10B USD in additional Mac sales over the years because it had been on the Back Burner. We didn't have the Resources to work on it & Photosets concurrently. Wasn't our fault ! We chalk that up as another Major Screw Up by Apple's App Store Mgmt Team ! We've said it BEFORE, we'll say it again, Apple's App Store Mgmt Team's Screw Ups are due to Technical Incomptence & Market Opportunity Ignorance. -----
News Update : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, June 30, 2025 FYI, we're considering RE-releasing our macOS-based app, Photosets TV/Studio, "concurrently with" v25.403, because of its (solid) Multi View Capture (MVC) "master" support. Our R&D Team has focused more on Photosets TV/Studio for its MVC testing than M4 iPad Pros. That's because it already included MVC "master" support. i.e., when we decided to resurrect it a week OR so ago for our testing needs. Turns out, Cosmosent R&D has had alot more success with it than anticipated. And NOT just that, yesterday R&D began enhancing it in a way that makes it even more special. But there is one dilemma, we're currently UN-sure as to how to release it. via this website ?, via the Mac App Store ?, OR via a third-party ? That could be the gating factor. And BTW, we don't (really) consider the Mac App Store a viable option, for obvious reasons. In an ideal world, we would offer it via this website, priced at $11.99 USD, & with FREE updates for two-years from the date of purchase. Also, for clarity, we're 100% convinced a Robust, Full-Featured implementation of MVC will add $250M USD to the valuation of Cosmosent Labs, Inc. And that our custom Object Detection efforts will add (at-least) a similar amount. Both simply build-upon what Photosets (& Photosets TV/Studio) already offers. Is it possible that we become a Unicorn by the end of Summer ? We believe so. Could have, & probably should have, already happened. It's NOT our fault that those who run Apple's App Store are Totally Clueless ! Either that, OR they have Marching Orders to Cover Up the Screw Up. -----
