Immersive videos on Vision Pro come in various formats: Apple Immersive Video, VR180, 360, and 3D. You can watch them through TV app (Apple Originals), Photos (personal videos), CouchTrip, Explore POV, or Moon Player for indie and travel content.
Apple TV Steps
• Open TV app → Scroll to Immersive Video row
• Select an Apple Original short or sport experience
• Tap Play and adjust your Environment
• The content automatically renders in 3D with spatial audio
Apps like CouchTrip are optimized for immersive playback on Vision Pro: Spatial videos are tagged and rendered correctly, navigation is gesture-based and distraction-free, great for travel and culture content in 8K.
Other Great Apps
• Explore POV – for nature and 3D motion content
• Moon Player – for VR180/360 sideloads and YouTube
File Playback Steps
1. Export a VR180/360 video in H.265
2. Airdrop or copy to Vision Pro via Files
3. Open in Moon Player or Photos (if metadata is embedded)
Viewing Tips
• Choose dark environments for best immersion
• Use Apple's Fit & Seal test to calibrate 3D depth
