Apple has just released a brand new app for Mac and Vision Pro. As spotted by MacRumors, ‘Apple Immersive Video Utility’ is available on the App Store as a new way for creators to work with Immersive Video files.
New app for Mac and Vision Pro probably isn’t for you
Immersive Video is Apple’s proprietary format for 180-degree video content that runs on Vision Pro.
The rollout of new Immersive Videos has been slow over Vision Pro’s first year, but several signs have indicated Apple is picking up the pace.
For example, new third-party devices and tools have launched that should increase Immersive Video production, like a special Blackmagic camera and DaVinci Resolve support.
Now, the Apple Immersive Video Utility app is available to further help creators outside of Apple put together their own immersive content, assuming they have the necessary hardware.
Here are the app’s full release notes:
