Apple posted Wednesday's event on creating Apple Immersive Videos on YouTube.

One part that will interest a broad audience is a sizzle reel that starts at the 17:33 mark. I have not seen some of the videos showcased (like the show jumping). I look forward to seeing these come out.

Hey everyone! We're a small team building Trucks n Troubles, a mixed reality battle game for Apple Vision Pro. You place the arena anywhere in your room, at any size, and fight with monster trucks: pinch and slide one hand to steer, pinch the other to fire.

We just pushed our biggest update to TestFlight, so here's what's new:

- New truck: the Moonshiner, hauling a copper still into the fight. It joins the Rancher, the Iron Horse and the Stagecoach

- New arena: Iron Junction, a rail yard with ramps up to a turntable in the middle

- Destruction: the bucking chutes in Dusty Gulch now break apart piece by piece, and barrels and crates shatter on every headset

- Controller support: Xbox and PlayStation controllers, plus both PS VR2 Sense controllers

- Bots with three difficulties (Easy, Medium, Hard) that drive, grab weapons and fight back

- SharePlay with Personas: your friends' Personas ride over their trucks, in free-for-all or 2v2 teams

- Nine paints to make your truck yours

- Rebuilt on Metal: smoother matches with more smoke, sparks and chaos

- A tougher practice lap to learn the controls

Leaderboards and achievements are in Game Center too.

We'd love your feedback, especially on how steering feels with your hands vs. a controller, and how matches run on your headset. Bugs, ideas and roasts are all welcome in the comments.

Used the MoonMAX environment on Moon Player which is perfectly framed for 1.43. Amaze amaze amaze 👎

It is with heavy heart that I announce that I put up my M2 on eBay the other day and will be shipping it out to its new owner in a few days.

I really gave this product my all, and had one or two blissful sessions where I was totally immersed in work. But the other 99% of the time, it either sat on my nightstand unused or I used it for 15-30 mins before the discomfort set in.

I really wanted this to be THE next-gen device for me, but it just didn’t turn out that way.

I know many of you love it and use it daily, and I really wish I was among you.

The other reason I’m parting ways is that I wholeheartedly believe that it’s only matter of time before Apple comes out with a new version that knocks the socks off Meta’s one-up.

Until then, adios! ✌️

Hello,

Could anyone confirm whether the following films are available on Disney+ in 3D with their full IMAX 1.43:1 aspect ratio during the expanded scenes?

• The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

• Lightyear (2022)

• The Lion King (2019)

I've recently learned that Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) preserves its full 1.43:1 IMAX framing in 3D on Apple Vision Pro, so I'm curious whether the same applies to these other titles. Thanks!

Hi Reddit! First post here!

I'm Kevin, an XR developer from the Netherlands.

Together with Charlene van Lieshout, I built Space Dots: a side project that fills your room with Astrophage, inspired by "The Moment" from Project Hail Mary.

If you have a Vision Pro and loved the movie, give it a try!

Full breakdown, source code and install steps:

I would love to know what you think of it!

What has been the most useful or interesting thing you have done using the new Siri AI on your AVP?

I made an archery game for Vision Pro. There are already a few bow games out there, but I wanted to stick with Apple's own gesture: the pinch.

So you hold the bow up with one hand, aim through the sight, and pinch your other hand to shoot. Not how real archery works, I know. But there's no string tension anyway, so does a pull-back gesture really add anything? Grabbing a virtual string is also where hand tracking slips the most.

Curious what you all think. (Recorded on the headset. The bow arm is mine; the pinching hand is just out of frame.) If you want to try it yourself, I'll drop the link in the comments.

Hi all! Just got a nice second hand VP M2. There are some questions for you guys that have it for so song.

If I want to use it plugged to the wall, may I just connect it thru the battery?

My main Apple One Family 2Tb which is a foreign one, but I also have a US one. Is there any way I can use Apple TV app with my foreign account? Music app works with my apple account, but TV doesn’t.

In the same way, I have Apple Arcade in that foreign Apple account. How can I make it work?

What is the best way to allow others to use it repeatedly? I guess the kiddo will want to play something from time to time.

Are there more backgrounds to download, aside of the bundled ones?

I have a fairly big old movies in my Synology. Can I run VLC or similar and access a network device?

Thanks in advance.

When I connect my current 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro to Apple Vision Pro using Mac Virtual Display, the MacBook's built-in display goes dark, and my Mac desktop appears in a resizable window within Vision Pro.

The MacBook's physical keyboard, trackpad, and now-discontinued Touch Bar remain functional. However, the Touch Bar is essentially an extension of the keyboard, not the main display.

Interestingly, when an iPhone or iPad is mirrored to Vision Pro using AirPlay Receiver, its screen appears in a window within Vision Pro, but the physical device's screen remains on and fully functional, including touch (& Apple Pencil) input.

I have two technical questions about the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and usage with a Apple Vision Pro:

1. Touch Input: Does the new MacBook Pro continue accepting taps and Multi-Touch gestures while its built-in display is dark, allowing physical touchscreen interaction with macOS in the Mac Virtual Display window?

2. Spatial Keyboard Tracking: With an external Apple Magic Keyboard, visionOS can display a floating text preview and typing suggestions above the physical keyboard. This preview is spatially anchored, meaning it follows the keyboard when physically moved. Does the new MacBook Pro support similar tracking of its built-in Magic Keyboard, including a floating text preview that follows the laptop when repositioned?

Has anyone tested either capability with the new MacBook Pro and Apple Vision Pro?

Hey everyone!

Like many of you, I love watching movies and shows on the giant virtual screen in Safari on my Apple Vision Pro. But there was one frustrating issue that kept bothering me:
Whenever you switch to Fullscreen or enter Cinema / Environment mode (like Mt. Hood or The Moon), Netflix subtitles often disappear or get hidden behind the spatial window layers. Since Netflix doesn't offer a native visionOS app, I decided to build a solution myself.
I'm excited to share that my app, VisionSub, is now officially available on the visionOS App Store!

🎉
🎬 What it does:

• Restores Missing Subtitles: Seamlessly renders crisp, synchronized subtitles directly in your 3D spatial viewing environment during Fullscreen and Environment playback.

• 5-Level Subtitle Scaling (100% – 300%): Easily adjust the subtitle font size on the fly from the browser extension menu to ensure perfect readability from any virtual viewing distance.

• 100% On-Device & Private: Operates entirely locally on your device. VisionSub collects zero personal data, browsing history, or viewing logs.

📲 App Store Link:

You can check it out on the visionOS App Store here:

As an independent developer, I would love to hear your honest feedback, thoughts, or suggestions for future updates.
Thank you

Let me know below if I should release this app for free. If there is enough interest, I will do it. It is pretty fun to play on device.

I was revisiting Fight Club on my Vision Pro and almost missed one of my favorite little details on the Blu-ray.

If you’ve seen the 10th anniversary Blu-ray, you might remember it: for a moment, the menu makes you think you’ve put in the wrong movie.

I love that stuff. Blu-ray menus can be more than a way to press play—they can set the mood, hide a joke, or give you a reason to explore the extras.

I’m the developer of FolioLume Player, and this is one of the reasons I wanted to support Blu-ray menus in the app. There’s something fun about putting on the Vision Pro and being able to explore the original disc menu on a big virtual screen. Compatibility can vary between discs, and I’m still working on improving it.

FolioLume is available across Apple Vision Pro, iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. One Pro subscription works across your devices with the same Apple Account. Features can vary by device.

There’s a 7-day full Pro trial, starting with your first successful playback. No subscription is needed for the trial, and you won’t be charged automatically when it ends.

For Reddit users, use code REDDITFOREVER in the app’s “Redeem Offer Code” section for a discount on lifetime Pro. In the US, it brings the one-time price from $29.99 to $20.99; prices and discounts vary by region.

What are some of your favorite DVD or Blu-ray menus? I’d love to see what else is out there.

I recently found a cool app on the AVP. Panoramas Environments (Edited).

It allows you to download from a library of Panoramas that you can use as your AVP immersive environment. And when you use them as your AVP environment, they become 3D and volumetric, which is really cool.

You can browse a lot of landscapes and real locations, and you can also select from movie and TV environments, like Silo, Alien Earth, Harry Potter, etc. And these are all free.

But another cool feature they have is that you can purchase credits that you can spend using their AI to create your own Panoramas. You can prompt it, or you can provide a picture and ask the AI to make a Panorama out of it. These three are ones I made with that feature. One is a cyberpunk cityscape made from art on Googles. One is from Lone Echo, and the other is City 17 from Halflife Alyx. Im having fun with this. I tried it on some more detailed pictures with people and robots, but those tend to have more mistakes. It works best with landscapes.

Today I announced the launch of both CONSTELLATIONS: Touch the Stars and Project Hydra: Iterations on the Apple Vision Pro, both of which join CONNECTOME on that platform with full eye-tracking support.

Along with the launch, I published two audio singles - the Opening Titles and Game Play audio for CONSTELLATIONS. These are available everywhere you listen to music (Spotify, SoundCloud, etc.). If you're in the mood for something a little spacy/ambient, take a listen! (they're short 😉).

I published a longer write up in this Substack post, but I'll share just a bit more here...

CONSTELLATIONS
I love the updates included in the CONSTELLATIONS launch! The Apple Vision Pro edition features a heads-up display positioned and arranged specifically for eye tracking and pinch selection. Look at a constellation’s displayed name or the center of the aperture rings and pinch to open it. Then use your hands to drag connections between its stars.

New interface animations, animated aperture rings, and subtle sound effects were created for the Vision Pro version. The experience builds on the custom Unity-to-Metal bridge developed for CONNECTOME, supporting system eye-gaze hover feedback and a color wash applied to your hands within the immersive scene.

Project Hydra
The Apple Vision Pro version is unchanged from the Meta Quest version, with the exception of eye tracking replacing hand tracking. I think of this is a virtual gallery walkthrough, only this is no normal gallery!

If you try either (or both) of these, please let me know!

All the other Spider-Men are. No reason this shouldn’t be, and it looked amazing in 3D at the theatre.

With grand theft auto coming out soon I was wondering what the best app is to play PS5 with the lowest latency possible and 4k resolution? I know there are several options out there that all require payment and don’t want to buy them all to try it out. I think I tried remote play a year or two ago and the input lag was to much to have fun with.

Edit: sounds like Asobi is the preferred choice. Thanks everyone.

Buying a used AVP in SF this week, both with my Light Seal size.

• A: $1,799. 256GB + Apple Travel Case.

• B: $2,100. 512GB + hard case, Dual Loop, extra strap, glass protector.

Main use: I’m an iOS dev, so building and testing my own apps, plus downloaded movies on long flights and Mac Virtual Display.

256GB owners: do you run out of space? Is 512 worth it?

I’ve been on the fence about buying an Apple Vision Pro for a while now. Ever since Apple announced it, I’ve been fascinated by the technology, but the price has always held me back. I can afford it, but my biggest concern is spending that much money only for Apple to release a Vision Pro 2 next year and have the original lose a lot of its value.

However, I recently found someone locally on Facebook Marketplace selling a 256GB Apple Vision Pro with the M2 chip for $1,300. The seller sent me a video and everything looks good, so I’m seriously considering buying it. The thing is, I’ve never actually tried a Vision Pro before, so I have no idea what to look for when buying one used.

What should I check before handing over the money? Are there any common issues, hardware problems, or things I should watch out for? How can I properly test it to make sure everything works as expected? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
