Step into immersive video. MVPlayer is the focused, native player for stereoscopic 3D, 180° and 360° video — and the immersive video format — on every Apple device you own. Free, no ads, no tracking. ONE PLAYER. EVERY IMMERSIVE FORMAT. • Stereoscopic 3D: MV-HEVC with proper projection and depth, natively on compatible immersive headsets. • 180° and 360° video: equirectangular and half-sphere, in flat 2D (HEVC) or stereoscopic 3D (MV-HEVC). • The immersive video format: native playback, no conversion required. Just open and play. • Files, library or URL: open from Files, your Photos library, or any HTTP/HLS streaming URL. On the Mac, drop a video on the window. A PLAYER THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY A modern translucent design: close and volume at the top, play controls in the middle, the timeline below. AirPlay and Picture in Picture are one tap away. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, drag to look around a 180° or 360° video. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO • Fold it like a laptop: the picture stays upright and the controls move to the half lying flat, over a reflection of your video. The more you close it, the further the reflection reaches. • Hold it like a book: the video spans both pages, with a controller on each. • Close it: keep watching on the cover display. FULL ACCESS, ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE • Kiosk-grade demo lock: lock the screen with a password so your event and trade-show demos can't be exited or tampered with. • Head tracking, for fun: on iPhone, iPad and Mac, a playful experience while attendees wait for the headset. Try both free for 20 seconds. Pay once, own forever: no subscription, all future updates included. LAUNCH FROM ANY LINK Open a video from any link with the mvplayer:// x-callback-url scheme.

Scanomy helps you create 3D product explainers from photos, scans, and imported models. Add labels and callouts, explore your models in AR, and create videos to share your ideas. TRY THREE SCANS FREE Create three Image to 3D projects on this device without a subscription. Capture one clear photo or add up to four views of the same object. A multiview project counts as one scan, and retrying a failed project does not use another free scan. Free videos include a watermark. PHOTO TO 3D Guided capture helps you frame each view, and you can retake or remove photos before generating. Photo-to-3D requires an internet connection. Results and processing time vary with the photo and subject. SCANOMY PRO Choose a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription to continue photo-to-3D generation after your free scans and export videos without a watermark. Restore your subscription through Apple on supported devices, and manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. No separate Scanomy account is required. EXPLAIN IN 3D Add editable labels, callouts, and arrows to your models. Use Auto annotations to suggest labels for visible parts, or place annotations manually. Auto annotations uploads a model image to a cloud annotation service when you choose to generate; review and edit the results for accuracy. Visualize objects in AR and create animated product demos. EXPORT YOUR MODELS Share models as USDZ, GLB, glTF, OBJ, STL, or PLY, or export the original file. Material and texture support varies by format. Export progress and clear format buttons make sharing easier. Subscription payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. Prices are displayed in the app before purchase. Terms of Use: https://www.realityapps.biz/post/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://scanomy-api.realityapps.vision/privacy
