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.
