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. • Save in 3D: save a video in 3D 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, videos saved in 3D, finished 3D files and URLs, in groups if you like. • Videos on a NAS or another computer play live, join the library or are saved in 3D ahead of time, without copying them to your device. Servers on your network appear by themselves. 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. Free to try: convert the first minute of any video to 3D, up to 1440p, save photos and your free clips, play them on any headset, and use Play Live for 30 minutes every four hours. Pro converts and exports whole videos in up to 4K, with unlimited Play Live, Save in 3D for whole videos, servers, the highest 3D quality and cloud conversion. Cloud usage is billed separately per use. Terms of Use https://www.spatial-video-studio.com/en/terms Privacy Policy https://www.spatial-video-studio.com/en/privacy
