One thing I keep seeing in this sub is people asking for more immersive content on Apple Vision Pro beyond Apple’s official Immersive Video catalog.

So I’ve been pushing VR180 production as far as possible with consumer-accessible hardware and workflows to see how close independent creators can get to that “presence” feeling Apple’s content has.

I just released an 8K VR180 immersive tour of Downtown Miami designed specifically for Vision Pro viewing:

• Kaseya Center

• Bayside Marketplace

• Biscayne Bay boat ride

• Water-level skyline shots

This wasn’t shot on Apple’s $30,000+ immersive camera systems or a Hollywood pipeline. But with high bitrate exports, careful stabilization, depth-focused framing, and lots of obsessive tweaking, I think this gets close enough visually to be a good free alternative.

For people with the newer M5 Vision Pro models, YouTube now supports full 8K playback in the headset, so you can watch this directly in the YouTube app at 4320s quality for maximum detail.

People with the M2 Vision Pro version can also watch it for free in full quality on DeoVR, which currently handles high-resolution VR playback really well.

A few viewing tips:

• Manually set YouTube quality to 4320s (8K)

• Use headphones or AirPods

• Watch in a darker room

Also would genuinely love feedback from Vision Pro users here, especially around sharpness, depth, motion smoothness, camera movement, narration, and overall immersion. I’ve been reading a lot of comments from people wanting more “pure presence” style immersive experiences similar to Apple’s content.

Based on prior feedback, I’m currently working on alternate versions without narration that focus entirely on natural ambient sound and environmental immersion. Those versions should start releasing soon, since a lot of people seem to prefer quieter cinematic experiences where it feels like you’re simply there inside the environment.

Just spent an entire month filming across Europe specifically for the Apple Vision Pro, and I genuinely think these are the highest-quality immersive travel videos I’ve ever produced.

After watching the footage back inside the headset, I truly believe this is some of the best immersive travel content currently available outside of Apple’s own proprietary productions shot on the URSA Cine Immersive 30K system. The realism is getting dangerously close to teleportation.

Before packing my bags, I completely rebuilt my workflow from the ground up to solve the bottlenecks immersive creators have been chasing for years. The jump in quality from my older videos is massive:

• Using Newly Released stabilization pipeline
• Highly precise depth tuning
• Improved color science & better motion pacing
• Significantly higher bitrate exports with custom compression handling

The craziest part is that the new M5 Apple Vision Pro can now stream YouTube VR180 content in full 8K directly through the native YouTube visionOS app. We finally have the effortless clarity this medium deserves.

But don't worry—if you're using the M2 Vision Pro, I’m hosting the exact same master files on DeoVR so you can stream the full 8K immersive files completely for free. I just want as many people as possible experiencing what this headset can actually do.

This Week’s Premiere: Exploring Portugal’s Jaw-Dropping Cliffs & Sea Caves (Portimão)

We explore the insane cliffs of Ponta da Piedade, hidden beaches, glowing turquoise water, and take a private boat directly into the Benagil Cave. The depth and lighting inside the cave are unreal—some of the shots genuinely feel like CGI when viewed in the Vision Pro.

🗺️ The 3-Month European Roadmap: I’ll be dropping a brand new immersive episode every single weekend. Coming up next:

• 🇵🇹 Lisbon
• 🇵🇹 Porto
• 🇪🇸 Valencia
• 🇪🇸 Majorca
• 🇪🇸 Ibiza
• 🇪🇸 Cádiz
• 🇪🇸 Motril
• 🇪🇸 Melilla

I’ve become completely obsessed with pushing immersive travel content as far as possible because the AVP is the first headset where this medium truly feels transformative.

Would genuinely love your feedback on this premiere!

I recently hiked the Trading Post Trail at Red Rocks, and I’m incredibly excited to share this experience with you all.

I’ve been heavily refining my pipeline to push the absolute boundaries of immersion, and this is definitively the highest fidelity 8K 3D VR180 video I’ve produced to date. Pushing the Canon EOS R5C footage through Mistika VR and Topaz AI really helped lock in a level of sharpness and stereoscopic depth that finally feels true to life.

If you have a couple of minutes, strap on your headset, make sure the YouTube app is cranked to the absolute maximum resolution, and take a walk with me. The spatial presence when you're standing right at the base of these formations is wild.

I would really appreciate some critical feedback from this community. How does the 3D depth feel on your specific headset?

Thanks for taking a look!

Enjoy Telluride in peak winter. Snowy main street, old western buildings, and mountains wrapping around you in full 180. Shot slow and steady so it actually feels right in a headset (no spin, no rush).

If you’ve got a headset, try this one:

Genuinely curious how it feels on different setups:

• does 60fps look smooth to you?
• any compression or clarity issues?
• pacing feel natural?

Trying to squeeze every bit of quality out of YouTube VR180.
