I made Explore 360 — an Apple Vision Pro app for immersive 360° panoramas, Street View, SharePlay, and your own panorama library

Hi everyone,

I’d like to introduce Explore 360, my app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/explore360/id6776723541

Explore 360 is built around 360° panoramas. You can browse a curated collection of open-licensed panoramas from Wikimedia Commons, explore places on a world map, step inside the scenes, and look around freely.

But one of the most important parts for me is that it is not only about public content. You can also import your own 2:1 equirectangular panoramas from Photos or Files and view them properly on your devices. On Apple Vision Pro, they become fully immersive scenes around you.
You can organize your own panoramas into saved lists, sync them with iCloud, see geotagged panoramas on the map, and use the app as a personal 360° panorama library.

I also added several ways to explore panoramas together. You can use SharePlay over FaceTime, so everyone sees and explores the same panorama together. And because I wanted this to work even without FaceTime, I also built my own room-based sharing system: create a room, share a name or link, optionally protect it with a password, and let others join. Everyone can look around together and point things out with a laser pointer, each person with their own color and name label.
The app also includes Google Street View support, including an optional High Quality mode. I put a lot of effort into keeping loading times as short as possible, even when using the higher-quality imagery, so exploring Street View still feels smooth and responsive.

Another feature I’m really excited about is exporting. You can take any 360° image and export selected views as normal flat panorama images. This is especially useful for visionOS 27 Environments, where you may want to turn a 360° photo into a more standard panoramic image that works well as an environment-style background.
I’d love to hear your feedback, especially from Apple Vision Pro users and anyone who works with 360° photos.

I also have 15 free promo codes for the fastest users:

Concept demo: Exploring MRI-style volumetric viewing on Apple Vision Pro

I made a short video of a Vision Pro app concept I’ve been experimenting with.

The idea is to take volumetric medical-style scan data and make it explorable in spatial computing: you can view the head as a 3D volume and move or rotate a slicing plane through it, almost like looking through an MRI from any angle.

This is not meant as a medical tool or diagnostic viewer. It’s more about the visual and educational effect of interacting with volumetric data in 3D space.

The app is not available for download yet. I mainly wanted to share the idea and see what people think. Would this be something you’d like to explore on Vision Pro?

Request: Please help keep Microsoft Teams supported on Apple Vision Pro

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask for your support regarding Microsoft Teams on Apple Vision Pro.

Apple Vision Pro is Apple’s mixed reality headset, and while it is still a niche device, some users use it as a real productivity and work device — with large virtual screens, meetings, chats, and collaboration apps. For this use case, Microsoft Teams is one of the most important apps.

Unfortunately, the native Teams app for Apple Vision Pro has not been updated in over a year. As visionOS continues to evolve, there is a growing risk that the app may become unstable or eventually stop working properly.

I fully understand that many people here may not own an Apple Vision Pro, may not be interested in the device, or may not care whether Teams works on it. That is completely fair. However, for the small group of users who do rely on it, having a maintained Teams app makes a big difference.

That is why I would really appreciate your help — even if this issue does not affect you personally.

I submitted a feedback request here:
https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/c7211708-13d2-f011-ad8f-7c1e52f38cbc

If you are willing to support the request with an upvote, it could help increase visibility and show Microsoft that maintaining Teams across modern workplace platforms still matters.

Thank you very much for your support!

Microsoft Teams on Vision Pro

Hi everyone,

For those of you using Microsoft Teams on Apple Vision Pro: the app has not been updated in over a year.

With visionOS moving forward, I am worried that the Teams app could eventually break or stop working properly for more and more users. We have already seen compatibility issues in the past, and without an update from Microsoft, the native app may become unusable at some point.
I know the number of AVP users who also rely on Teams for work is probably small, but maybe this community can still help raise visibility.

Please consider upvoting this request on Microsoft’s feedback portal:
https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/c7211708-13d2-f011-ad8f-7c1e52f38cbc

Even if you do not personally use Teams on Vision Pro, your vote could help convince Microsoft that the app still matters.

Thank you!

I built Vision Satellites for Apple Vision Pro — 10 promo codes for the fastest users 🚀🛰️

Hi everyone,

I’m an indie developer behind Vision Satellites, an app that brings Earth’s orbit into your space on Apple Vision Pro.

The idea is simple: make the invisible satellite infrastructure around Earth visible and explorable in a spatial way. You can view a real-time 3D Earth with thousands of satellites, switch into Ground View to see what is currently passing above your location, follow satellites like the ISS or Starlink, inspect live orbital details, visualize orbit paths, and get alerts for upcoming passes.

I also added rocket launches with countdowns and 3D rocket models, plus support for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and widgets outside the app.

App Store link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vision-satellites/id6769425689

I’d love to hear feedback from the Vision Pro community — especially what feels good in spatial computing and what could be improved.

I have 10 promo codes for the fastest users:

Thanks a lot, and I hope some of you enjoy exploring orbit in Vision Pro!

Neuschwanstein Castle

I visited Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany.

While there is no flight restriction zone, you should remain mindful of the large number of visitors to stay compliant.
