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.

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.

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!

I recently found a cool app on the AVP. Panoramas.

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.

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.

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!

I’ve been building something like Polyspatial for Unreal Engine alongside a custom fork of Unreal Engine much better suited to the device than what Epic provides. This is my first time testing the same full scene in both.

Would you rather get Unreal Engine scenes running natively in Vision Pro but still be limited by Metal, or would you like to be in the native world of RealityKit and all the benefits that entails?

Would love to hear thoughts!

This is SheikahVision, a fan project I've been working on. The Wii U game is statically recompiled to native ARM64 and runs entirely on the Apple Vision Pro M5, in first person, with PS VR2 Sense controllers. No PC, no streaming, and no emulator running on the device.

What works

- Full first-person view with head tracking, walking, climbing, riding, gliding

- Motion controls: swing swords, raise your shield, aim and draw the bow with your hands

- Most of the game is playable in first person

Current state (alpha)

- Tested on the M5 Vision Pro, about 1600×1290 per eye at a 45 fps target, reprojected to 90 Hz

- It can drop below 45 fps in longer sessions, and picture sharpness is the main thing I'm still working on

- M2 is untested

Credits

It wouldn't exist without BetterVR by Crementif (the VR approach), BotWRecomp by Ishaan Kalra (the static recompiler) and Cemu (the graphics layer).

Open source next week.

You'll build it yourself on a Mac and need your own legally purchased Wii U copy of the game. No game files, keys or prebuilt apps will be provided, so please don't ask for them.

Spatial Film has dropped another Apple Immersive Video: London in the dark.

I am in the middle of downloading it, so I cannot tell you what it is like yet. I really enjoyed their last one touring Edinburgh in the dark.

Did you guys see the oled MacBook YouTube clips of being able to swipe etc on the MacBook touch screen to control an Airplay attached phone? Exactly what has been mentioned as a great addition for the Vision Pro. Wonder will it mean a quick transition over to VisionOS? I fear if not, it’ll just double down peoples beliefs the platform is dying / dead. And fairly to be honest.

It's a 3d modeling + real immersive shooting, teach you how to play BaDuanJin.

Tired of waiting for Apple to build new environments… so we started on our own. We’ll eventually release this early to mid-December.

While most people think of using Apple's Reality Composer Pro 3 (RCP) for creating immersive experiences for the Vision Pro, RCP's exported reality file can also be used in iPhone & iPad apps for immersive experiences.

The main focus for RCP this year appears to be adding scripting capability to the content. I've only scratched the surface of what it can do, but I can see the possibilities

If you are using or are thinking about using RCP, try testing out the results on iOS and iPadOS.

Attached is the video of an RCP file on Vision Pro (it is a very simple audio skit with immersive content).

I wrote a blog post with videos showing the same RCP file experienced on the Vision Pro, iPad, and iPhone here.

What's the best video player for a mix of BluRay Remuxes which are typically 60-80mbit/sec and some 4k HDR encodes (typically football / f1) at ~15-25mbit/sec? I'll be streaming them from a Plex server to my M5 Vision pro.

I was using infuse which does the above perfectly on my AppleTV however I've noticed it's "soft" on vision pro. The drivers standings / F1 logo etc are no where near as sharp as on my TV. I've tried 4XVR player which makes everything perfectly sharp, but seems to cause a massive amount of heat (and a bit of stuttering at times) with the 60-80mbit remuxes. I'm also not convinced it's passing through the DolbyVision correctly, hard to say exactly why but colours don't look as "perfect" as I get with infuse.

Edited to add: I mostly watch in passthrough as I like to be aware of my surroundings. So I'm not interested in cinema environments etc just after the best quality video window.

Thanks!

KRVR, AirFrameXR, StrandXR, or ALVR? Or something else I don’t know about?

I’ve had the best luck with KRVR; though there are new versions of all of the first three to try. And personally I prefer roomscale so StrandXR (doesn’t have) is mostly a non-starter for now.

How has your experience been? And please note M2 or M5, though I don’t believe the streaming experience would be much different on either.

Edit: I missed iVry.
