    It makes sense its not nearly as polished as other pixel camera features

      Then… polish it? By your standards, should we ditch Lemmy because Reddit is more polished?

      Or give it an “Experimental” warning so that users don’t have high expectations.

        What’s the point of keeping a feature as experimental for over 5 years? It was more relevant when Daydream and Cardboard were a thing and I have not heard one single person mention this feature as a plus point for buying a Pixel. Nobody cares about it now and the feature works like ass in the modern day.

          Why not? Elon’s Full Self Driving does not seem to be leaving Beta (more like Alpha) anytime soon, either. It’s fine as long as it’s a marginal feature that isn’t heavily marketed and does not take up much space – in which case they should move it to a separate app and release it without fanfare on GitHub (like they did with Web Environment Integrity) and include a link for people looking for the deprecated feature.

          Edit: The Wi-Fi I just posted this from says “Experimental” on its welcome page, and it’s been functioning flawlessly for the past 5+ years, woth double the range it’s supposed to cover.
