    Inside Apple Immersive Video on Apple Vision Pro

    In this episode of Spatial Insider, I sit down with Ben Allan and Clara Chong, award winning filmmakers and two of the world’s leading experts in Apple Immersive Video. We cover what Apple Immersive Video actually is, why it feels fundamentally different from both traditional film and VR, and what makes the experience so unforgettable. We also explore how the grammar of this new medium is still being written, the technical workflow from the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera through DaVinci Resolve and Fairlight audio, and how lighting, sound, and storytelling all work differently in 180 degree immersive space. Ben and Clara also share where they see this medium going next. They also share details about their book, Cinematic Immersive for Professionals, available now on Apple Books, the first guide of its kind for filmmakers entering this space. This is one of the most insightful conversations I’ve had about where visual storytelling is headed. Watch to hear their full perspective.

    Apple Vision Pro is Being Used in Surgery. Seriously.

    You’ve probably seen the viral headlines. We’re talking real surgeries on real patients happening right now with Apple Vision Pro, not a demo or a concept. In this episode of Spatial Insider, I sit down with the team behind ScopeXR, the app making this possible: Dr. Eric Rosenberg, Chief Medical Officer and corneal cataract surgeon; Michael Simmons, ScopeXR CEO, veteran developer, and creator of Fantastical and Cardhop; and Justin Kent, Founding Engineer at ScopeXR, a veteran iOS developer who’s been building apps since before it was even called iOS and has shipped more than 40 apps to the App Store. We cover the full story. How they met and started ScopeXR. What ScopeXR actually does inside the Operating Room and why it matters. How the Apple Vision Pro's gesture based interface keeps the surgical field sterile. Why surgeons can now bring in mentors, residents, and consultants from anywhere in the world in real time. How the wired and wireless feed works and why patient safety drove every technical decision. And why this is a use case for Apple Vision Pro that simply cannot be replicated on any other device. Eric also walks us through the full OR experience from scrubbing in to operating, and explains why having all patient data, surgical feeds, and consultation tools in one headset changes everything about how eye surgery is performed. This is just the beginning of spatial computing in healthcare. More to come.

    Apple Vision Pro Just Took a Massive Leap (NVIDIA Interview)

    NVIDIA and Apple have been quietly collaborating on something truly massive for spatial computing. It has the potential to completely change how people see the Apple Vision Pro and what it can do. In this interview, I sit down with Max Bickley, Product Manager on NVIDIA’s Omniverse team, to break down what NVIDIA CloudXR 6.0 unlocks for Vision Pro and where this is all headed. We cover a lot of ground. Max breaks down how foveated streaming works and how NVIDIA and Apple solved the gaze privacy challenge together. We talk about what it means to stream high fidelity experiences from a remote GPU directly to your headset, and why two of the best simulators in the world, X-Plane 12 and iRacing, are coming to Vision Pro. We also get into what the Apple and NVIDIA collaboration signals about the future of spatial computing and how agentic workflows could reshape spatial app development entirely.
