Black Friday Live!

A friend of mine, Robin Senior, who works at Shopify sent me a link on Black Friday to watch on my Vision Pro. Loading the Shopify Live Globe web page in Safari, I saw an Enter VR button. Presented with a giant red lever, I pinched to lower the lever and was transported into a virtual ship orbiting the Earth. On the globe, sites around the world lit up and I could see the transactions arcing in yellow between seller and buyers. The console displays the sales and orders as the tallied up.

On the right, was an audio panel, where I could modify the sounds and move a patch cable to change he sound wave shape. On the left, a set of patch cables and switches. Flipping the Gravity switch caused the lose objects, a coffee cup, figure and cassette tapes for float, and crash when the gravity is switched back on. Apparently the same live sales display was playing on the Sphere in Las Vegas.

MV Converter & MVPlayer

Florent Morin was among many indie visionOS developers sharing their work this weekend. He shared his work on his macOS app: MV Converter, which can convert 3D content, side by side, top and bottom or even Spacial Video, resulting in MV-HEVC to be viewed on the Vision Pro.
​
Morin also has created an app for Vision Pro to consume spatial video: MVPlayer.app​

​

ICYMI, 9to5Mac posted about Apple to create live Vision Pro immersive video.

In the post, Ryan Chrisoffei reports that with the growing costs to upgrade the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, Apple may step in to add the ability to live stream sport events to Vision Pro. You can read about that is this 9to5.com article.
