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.
