Turn the photos and videos in your library into 3D you can watch on Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest or any 3D headset — right on your iPhone or iPad. PLAY LIVE • Any video, any length. A whole film, 4K included, plays in Full HD 3D on your VR headset as your iPhone or iPad converts it, from your library, from Files or at a URL. Nothing to convert first, nothing saved, nothing to install on the headset. • Far more than MP4 and MOV: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, FLV, WMV, TS and more; URLs over http, rtsp, rtmp, ftp, smb and sftp. • Line up videos and URLs on your iPhone or iPad, then choose from the headset. Pin what you come back to; pinned items lead the list. • On Apple Vision Pro, the Spatial Video Studio app finds your iPhone or iPad by itself and plays as spatial video, with nothing to type. • Prepare ahead: render a video now so it plays at once later, with seeking. Watched once, it plays again at once. • One library for everything your headset can watch: videos to convert, prepared videos, finished 3D files and URLs. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Convert to Apple's spatial format (spatial photos and MV-HEVC spatial video), or to side-by-side and top-bottom 3D for other headsets. • Convert on your device — private, free, and works offline — or in the cloud for the highest quality. • Cloud photos are free every day up to a daily allowance, then priced per photo. Cloud videos are priced per minute, and you see the price before you start. • Set the 3D strength, pick a 3D quality (Standard, Enhanced or Detailed), choose Faster or Sharper Edges, and re-run any item to compare versions. • See how long a video will take before it starts, and switch apps while it converts. • Check the depth before you commit: Anaglyph 3D with red/cyan glasses, or cross-eye. Pinch to zoom in on the details. • Export to Photos, AirDrop or anywhere, and archive finished projects instead of deleting them. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • Add photos and videos from your library or from Files. • A layout that adapts from iPhone to iPad, Split View and Stage Manager. • Save to Photos, or AirDrop straight to your headset. Pro unlocks the Headset tab, exporting, unlimited projects and imports, and cloud conversion. Cloud usage is billed separately per use.
