Vista Viewer vs Suila VR

Vista is a 180° side-by-side (SBS) VR video player for iPhone and iPad. It’s built to make viewing VR180 footage without a headset easy and intuitive providing the best experience. Designed with performance and visual correctness in mind, Vista uses Apple’s Metal graphics stack to render immersive video smoothly while giving you intuitive touch controls for exploration and inspection. Because of this, Vista also works equally well for high definition playback of standard 2D movies that are a part of your collection. With Vista, you may open videos that are on the device or shared files using the system Files picker. You may also browse and stream from an optional VistaServer library on your local network. Playback issues make File Sharing on MacBook unusable for most high quality videos. VistaServer was built to allow storage of high quality video files on your MacBook or external drive connected to MacBook and then share them to Vista player over local network with the highest quality possible. It is available on App Store for MacOS.

Suila VR is a VR / 360° video player for iPhone. You supply the videos: open them from the Files app, AirDrop, Photos, a computer or a NAS. The app has no built-in library, no account, no ads, and collects no data. Playback • Projections: 360°, 180°, fisheye, cubemap, flat. Videos with Apple APMP projection metadata are detected automatically; others are guessed from the file name and aspect ratio, or set by hand. • Stereo: side-by-side (SBS), over-under (OU), MV-HEVC spatial video. • Formats: mp4, mov, m4v, mkv, avi, webm, ts and more; formats the iPhone cannot play natively are handled by the built-in FFmpeg. • Raw Insta360 .insv files play directly (X3, X4, X5, X6, ONE RS 1-inch), with gyro horizon leveling. Viewing • Handheld: turn the phone to look around, drag with a finger, pinch to zoom. • Headset mode: split-screen for both eyes, with lens distortion, chromatic aberration, IPD and field of view set for Cardboard-type headsets. • Game controllers and keyboards are supported. Subtitles External SRT / VTT / ASS / SMI (encoding detected automatically) and embedded tracks; timing offset, font, size and outline are adjustable. Files Play in place from the Files app without copying; link an iCloud or NAS folder and only its location is remembered; in-app files can be organized into folders, moved and renamed, and a folder can play continuously. A sample 360° video, filmed by us, can be downloaded from Settings. Suila VR Pro (one-time purchase, Family Sharing supported) • Direct NAS access: connect to a NAS over SMB; credentials are kept in the device keychain. • Automatic captions and translation: on-device speech recognition and translation; audio does not leave the device (iPhone 12 or later). • Insta360 conversion: raw dual-fisheye files to 360° HEVC video with APMP metadata, up to 5760×2880, in batches. • Spatial video: convert SBS / OU to MV-HEVC. • APMP: add Apple projection metadata to existing 360° videos.
