Dean Zwikel just announced his Apple Immersive Video Creator (AIVC) tool for Windows 10/11. His free tool encodes stereoscopic video to MV-HEVC and includes the spatial metadata (vexu) necessary for playback on Apple Vision Pro. Great job, Dean! groups.google.com/g/aivc

Nice job!

ExplorePOV has quickly become one of my favorite Vision Pro apps. The first Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive footage from French Polynesia is stunning and makes you feel like you are there. They have a massive library and Premium is on sale right now. Not sponsored, just a fan.

Great job!

We’ve just released Amplium V2! It supports 7200×7200 resolution per eye. This time, the footage was shot in low light, but under better conditions we believe we can deliver even higher quality. We’d love to hear your feedback — both what you enjoyed and what we could improve!
