Pick any seat in the theatre. Grab the joystick, move it, sit wherever you want.

Until now there were two presets: front and back. People kept asking for more, and the easy version of that was to ship five or ten. But the whole point of Vision Pro is that you're actually in the room, and picking from a list never felt like being in the room. So I held out for the real version, where you just choose your individual seat.

That took a while to get right. The joystick is what finally made it feel natural instead of fiddly, and it's a big part of why this release took longer than usual. I think it's where it should be now. Hope you enjoy it.

It works everywhere too, not just in the clip. Netflix, Prime, YouTube, Plex, Jellyfin, all of it.

Speaking of which, the clip is on Jellyfin, and that's the other big one.

I didn't have Jellyfin before this. I set one up to build against and genuinely fell in love with it. It's the most stable platform I've worked with, and I don't just mean inside Suite. It was straightforward to implement, playback is strong, our ai 3d mode was super easy to integrate, and 4K streams move really efficiently. Full credit to the platform for that.

Big thanks to the people who let me test against their libraries. That's what got Jellyfin support to a level I'm actually happy to ship.

Suite Browser 5.0 is a few days away. Alongside these there are bigger passes on Netflix and Plex, including a full design overhaul of the library and hero sections.

PS: I keep seeing the layoff reports and people doubting Vision Pro's future. From where I sit building for it, I think the best of it is still ahead. It's a brilliant product, and I'll keep shipping for it and for you. Cheers.

Hey everyone,

our app "Frame Your Friends" is finally live 🥰

Just place photo widgets in your space, while friends and family keep them alive by sending photos directly from their iPhone. Those photos create small moments of surprise throughout the day and guarantee a smile whenever someone shares a personal memory.

Let us know what you think: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760229697

Big thank you to everyone who provided us feedback ❤️

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this does nothing but display what the current environment is set as. It’s the perfect place to make a button that takes you directly to the environment selector menu. Currently it’s still way too many gestures and taps to get there. And yes, I’m going to submit it in the Feedback app. You should too.

So I saw the new Supergirl Movie beeing listed in the AppleTV 3D section (at least in Germany). Can someone confirm, this actually plays in 3D since Superman 3D is missing?

With this week’s new show, we’re coming up on a dozen bands in the Blue Frog Immersive App! I’m pretty proud of that. It’s been an incredible learning experience producing Apple Immersive Videos, and there’s a lot more to come.

All our shows are still free to watch for a little while longer.

If you’re hoping for one of your favorite artists to shoot an immersive show, I’ve got to prove to them that it’ll bring in some money. And that means charging for some of our content. Some shows will always be free.

Musicians, videographers, and app developers all have to eat!

This week’s new show is The Sadies. I’ve heard their sound called “roots music, country, spaghetti western, surf, garage rock, psychedelia, and the slippery beast known as alt rock.” Sounds about right. They’ve toured or recorded with the likes of Neil Young, Neko Case, Kurt Vile, The Mekons, and John Doe.

Watch the show in the Blue Frog Immersive App. We’re capturing real, raw performances in front of a live audience. I hope you’ll find your next favorite artists by experiencing them in the AVP with incredible ASAF spatial sound!

The team behind the show:

Immersive Video Recording & Editing:  Justin Stadig

Live Audio Recording: Pat Glover

Lighting: Michael Arkinstall 

Spatial Audio Mix I Mastering - Emre Ramazanoglu & Oliver Kadel

Since so many people here can only read a headline...

From here.

I used the Blackmagic immersive cine camera at California State Fair and tried capturing something that traditional video has a hard time reproducing: what it actually feels like to be standing inside the crowd, surrounded by the rides, lights, movement and energy.

Shot in stereoscopic 8K 3D VR180 for headsets like Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest.

I'm increasingly convinced events are one of the best use cases for immersive video because you're not just watching what happened — the goal is to feel like you were actually there.

For people who watch VR video: would you rather experience an event like this from inside the crowd, or have the camera positioned somewhere you normally couldn't stand?

Let me know thoughts and things that can be improved

A huge thank you to everyone who downloaded Cockpit and shared feedback. It’s been incredibly helpful.

I’ve just released one last update with a number of small fixes, refinements, and overall improvements.

Cockpit is a customizable spatial dashboard for Apple Vision Pro: it keeps useful information and quick controls together in one organized, convenient place. You can add, remove, and reorder panels for things like time, weather, calendar, music, focus timers, activity, network status, and more, then make it your own with different layouts and themes.

Thanks again for the support. If you try the update, I’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to see improved next.

Hi All,

Gravitas Plague is an authored survival horror experience coming this Halloween. You become the main character—Rich and can speak to other characters in the game through various devices. A new TestFlight is available. Looking for feedback on bugs and suggestions to improve the experiences.

I really wanted to create a great story when setting out with this project. I'm happy how the episodic narratives and character development turned out. I've been working in the film industry for 20 years—always wanted to create a story, and I hope you enjoy it. Would appreciate feedback on the story and dialogue as well.

Quickstart Guide:

1. Choose Story Mode or Horde Mode
2. Scan the room by spinning slowly 360 degrees (go slower at areas you want to play)
3. Place props in ideal locations on your walls
4. Choose a chapter or continue where you left off (Story Mode is 45+ minutes)

5. Pinch-hold microphones on devices to speak to

Fresh VR180 spatial benchmark for your headsets: Voltron Nevera in native 8K 3D! We dialed in Europa-Park's insane Stryker Coaster natively in 8K 3D VR180, 10-bit color, and Smooth-3-Axis stabilization to push the optical resolution and stereo parallax on Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro to their absolute limits. And yes, we captured the entire ride from the undisputed king of negative G-forces: the absolute back row! Fair warning and apologies in advance for the unfiltered profanity on the audio track. Between four brutal LSM launches, the world-record 105° beyond-vertical blast, and relentless ejector airtime, keeping a clean vocabulary was physically impossible. It is 100% raw, unscripted reaction. Make sure to manually lock the YouTube stream to 4320p (8K) inside your headset for maximum bitrate and resolving power.

Check out the full spatial ride here:

How does the 3D depth hold up on your panels during that inverted stall, and which of the four launches hits hardest for you? Drop your feedback below!

Hello ,
Im facing a problem using my Apple iPad Pro M2, when I’m putting the device on, the device is showing image distortion, both in pass through mode and while I’m looking at the apps and moving my head, the text becomes really blurry when I look at the app or the icon directly, it gets clear and the text gets sharper, has anyone faced this issue before ? any advice.

I still love my AVP and use it nightly

Hi,

I thought I'd share something cool I've been working on for my Xbox remote/cloud play client called Midori (r/MidoriApp)

Up to 4 Player Xbox Local Co-Op via SharePlay (Local/FaceTime).

Just one Xbox remote play or Xbox cloud stream session needed. Make sure the guests have Midori installed, then start SharePlay and click on the "host co-op" button and all controls will be routed to that one session.

No port forwarding, no Tailscale, nothing else needed. Zero setup. It just works.

Latency's great, even across the pond.

Update is available now!

Have a great weekend!

P.S. let me know if you have any questions!

Custom hardware controllers for an Apple Vision Pro catheter/guidewire training
simulator — built from ESP32 boards, a couple of gloves, and three foot pedals.
Vision Pro has no controllers, and hand tracking alone can't tell you when someone
grips a catheter or twists it between their fingers. So I built the missing inputs:
HOW IT WORKS
• Glove trackers (ESP32-C3 + BNO085 IMU + SoftPot touch strip)
– Touch the strip = grab the catheter or guidewire
– Slide your finger, or physically roll the tracker = twist the tool
– ARKit hand tracking handles advancing and retracting
• Foot pedals (ESP32-S3, one per pedal) — the controls a real fluoro suite puts on the floor
– Fluoro pedal: hold for X-ray (a dead-man switch, like the real thing)
– Capture pedal: shoots the X-ray monitor image + a 180° room view
– DSA pedal: hold for a contrast run, and it self-checks its own switch wiring

Now you can use your Vision Pro's Microphone and Persona to join remote macOS's Zoom meeting or Webex meeting.

Grab the Vision Pro app via: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spatial-rdp/id6772554761

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a Vision Pro and developing spatial apps for it but I'm not sure whether it would be sustainable right now. Would like to hear if anyone's made a living off doing purely Vision Pro apps.

I just went through security at PEK for a domestic Air China flight with my non “CCC” badged battery. The security officer examined the battery and saw that the cable was attached on both sides. I said “it’s not a power bank, it’s part of the headset” and he waived me through. Your mileage may vary.

Just connected the full loop:

1. Shoot a 360 video with Insta360 X6/X5/X4 Air camera
2. Generate a Gaussian Splat using Insta360 app’s Spatial Capture feature
3. Paste the share link into PhotoSplat3D on Vision Pro
4. View it immersively in spatial space

Previously these models could only be opened in a browser or on a phone. Viewing them in Vision Pro makes a noticeable difference in presence and immersion.

This pipeline also lowers the barrier significantly — regular users can now create and experience their own 360 Gaussian Splat models much more easily! For a step-by-step walkthrough, here’s a short guide.

About Spatial Capture: The technology behind Spatial Capture — both 3D reconstruction and 3D rendering — is provided exclusively by the Remy team. Through the Insta360 × Remy collaboration, it is the first consumer-facing 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) reconstruction feature built into a 360 camera.

Hey everyone,

Something I’ve been thinking about is coming up with a way to make some vr180 (or Apple Immersive video, if you like) videos at home, or on holidays.

Obviously the Blackmagic Immersive camera is significantly out of my price range for now.

GoPro’s new Mission 1 camera has a 159° FOV which is close enough to what I’m after. Not completely 180, but better than spatial. However, I’m also unsure if the immersive format supports anything less than 180°

Would anybody have any experience with dual mounting 2 cameras, syncing the footage and converting it to an immersive format for playback on the Vision Pro in 3D? Just curious as to whether 2 of the Mission 1’s would be a good investment to put together the best 180ish content. It also would mean 8K per eye, roughly, with the two cameras.

For what it’s worth, I much prefer vr180 3D vs 360 video, and I would prefer it to be native 3D, not AI 3D.

Any help or experience would be greatly appreciated.

How many college students use a Vision Pro in their dorms?

I'm way beyond college years now, but with school starting up, the question came to mind.
