This innovative app is specifically designed to facilitate the viewing and management of immersive videos, catering to Apple’s Vision Pro spatial computing headset.
Key Features and Requirements
According to its App Store description (noted by MacRumors), the Apple Immersive Video Utility for macOS enables users to import, organize, package, and review immersive video content directly on their Mac. When paired with the app designed for visionOS, users can effortlessly connect and evaluate their immersive videos on the Apple Vision Pro.
Accessibility and Compatibility
This complimentary app, which is lightweight at under 8 MB, is currently available exclusively in English. To install the app, users need to have macOS 15 or a later version, along with a compatible Mac that features an Apple M1 chip or a more recent model.
Understanding Apple Immersive Video Format
The Apple Immersive Video format is a cutting-edge 3D 8K recording format that provides a captivating 180-degree field of view and supports Spatial Audio. This unique content format is tailored for optimal viewing on the Vision Pro headset.
Production Behind the Content
Apple utilizes specialized cameras to capture immersive videos tailored for its headset, contributing to its growing catalog available on Apple TV. Viewers can find diverse content featuring artists like Metallica, The Weeknd, and Alicia Keys, as well as wildlife documentaries and scenic hot air balloon adventures.
