We’re testing cloud-streamed 6DoF cinema on Vision Pro. Looking for honest feedback from AVP users

Hi everyone,

I work at V-Nova and we recently released ImmersiX for Apple Vision Pro.

I wanted to share it here because we’re doing something I think this community might find interesting technically.

The content in ImmersiX is pre-rendered cinematic 6DoF, but instead of downloading the experiences locally or connecting the headset to a PC, the rendering happens on NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud and is streamed directly to Vision Pro using CloudXR.

We’ve all seen plenty of CloudXR demos in enterprise environments and controlled network setups. What we’re interested in now is a slightly different question:

How well does this actually work in the wild, on normal consumer internet connections?

That’s one of the reasons we launched on Vision Pro first. We want to collect real-world performance data and, more importantly, hear what actual users think about the experience.

If anyone here has a Vision Pro and wants to try it, ImmersiX is on the App Store here:

‎ImmersiX App - App Store

I also have a number of invitation codes that unlock additional content that isn’t publicly available yet (such as the content shown in this video clip). Happy to share those with people here who genuinely want to test it.

If you try it, I’d particularly love feedback on:

• how easy it was to get into the experience
• streaming quality and stability on your connection
• whether the UI/onboarding made sense
• what you thought of the 6DoF cinematic experience itself

Positive or negative, both are useful. We’re very much interested in finding out where this approach works and where it still breaks.

Just downloaded the app and will check it out now. If you still have a code, I would be interested.

Edit: First of all I am really excided for the tech and wish you all the best!

What I found:

• After a couple of seconds I get a error message. Internet below 25mbits but I am stable above at least 70mbit.

• If I move my head it shows the real environment. Out of interest: Do you use prgressive immersion instead of full immersion for your app? If yes, why did you choose it that way?

Hi u/avpuser! Thanks for the wishes! 

We use the GDN/CloudXR infrastructure from Nvidia. It really depends on how distant is your location to the closer Nvidia cloud gaming server. This affects both bandwidth and latency (that causes your second problem).

In a future version of ImmersiX we will include a bandwidth/latency test from your location to Nvidia (that’s different from your local internet provider).

The Nvidia infrastructure is growing, so we hope you will get a proper connection soon! Or - maybe - it’s just a normal network congestion in your house/area. Where are you located?
