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

Surround yourself with breathtaking worlds. Panoramas Environments brings a curated collection of stunning wide-angle and 360° imagery to your Apple Vision Pro — and now your iPhone and iPad — ready to download and set as your own custom surroundings. Now with AI: describe a place and watch it come into being, restyle any panorama, and give it its own ambient soundtrack. Browse, preview, and save in seconds. Whether you want to stand on the lunar surface, step onto a cinematic sci-fi set, or escape into a sweeping natural vista, the perfect backdrop is just a tap away. CREATE WITH AI • Generate: Describe any place — a misty bamboo forest at sunrise, a neon-lit alley after rain — and get a full 360° environment built for your headset. Or start from one of your own photos and let it expand into a complete panorama. • Remix: Take any panorama in the app, or one you generated, and restyle it. Make it night, make it winter, make it cyberpunk. The scene stays, the mood changes. • Soundtracks: Give any panorama its own one-minute ambient track, composed to match the place. It loops while you look around, and keeps playing across the system while you use other apps. • Credits: AI features run on credit packs. One credit is one panorama, one remix or one soundtrack. Generations that fail are refunded automatically, and your credits follow you across every device via iCloud. WHAT'S INSIDE • Panoramas: A constantly fresh, searchable feed of high-resolution wide-angle photography pulled live from Unsplash. • Favorites: Tap the heart on any panorama to save it for later — and with iCloud, your likes sync automatically between your iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro. • Community: A shared space where you can upload your own panoramas and discover ones shared by others. • Creators: Featured spatial content creators from the Apple Vision Pro community — each with their own page, pinned picks and full collection. • Movies & TV: Immersive environments straight from your favorite films and series. • NASA: The legendary Apollo lunar series, captured by astronauts on the Moon and shared by NASA Johnson. Public domain, straight from the source. • Alien: Earth: Step inside the world of the FX series with official immersive set imagery, including the USCSS Maginot, Neverland Island, and more. • Search by Address: Type any address and find 360° street-level panoramas from that exact spot or the nearest. DESIGNED FOR THE HEADSET • Preview any panorama in immersive before you download it • Upload your own panoramas and share them with the community • One-tap saving directly to your photo library • Live download progress and a handy queue so you can grab several at once • Smart memory: already-saved items are clearly marked, with the option to grab them again • Full-resolution originals, with location and credit details written into each file • A built-in guide showing exactly how to turn any saved image into a custom surrounding NOW ON IPHONE AND IPAD • The full collection in your pocket: every tab, every source • Explore any panorama in a full-screen 360° viewer — just drag to look around • Like on your phone, and it's waiting in your Favorites on Vision Pro thanks to iCloud • Download on the go: images land in your photo library, ready for your headset HOW IT WORKS Find an image you love, tap to download, and it lands in your photo library.
