SceneScapes immerses you in scenes, from panoramic photos that wrap around you to fully 3D USDZ environments you can walk through. iPhones have been able to take panoramic photos since 2012, but there was never a way to experience them quite like this until Apple Vision Pro introduced panoramas that wrap around you. SceneScapes brings that immersive experience to iPhone and iPad. From personal memories in your photo library, to panoramic images found online, to samples included with SceneScapes, experience panoramas the way they should be—wrapped around you. Apple Vision Pro also introduced immersive 3D environments that put entire worlds literally at your feet. SceneScapes brings these experiences to iPhone and iPad as well.
