Apple Immersive Video (AIV) is a stereoscopic video format developed by Apple for the Apple Vision Pro headset. Apple introduced it with the headset's United States launch on 2 February 2024 and describes it as "180-degree, three-dimensional 8K recordings captured with Spatial Audio".[1] Each video carries calibration data for the specific camera lenses that recorded it, and visionOS uses that data to project every pixel back into the field of view as it was captured, instead of converting the footage to a standard 180-degree or 360-degree projection.[2][3]

In 2025, with visionOS 26, Apple made the format available to developers and content creators for the first time, through the Immersive Media Support framework, the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera and updated post-production software.[4] Live sports followed in 2026, starting with Los Angeles Lakers basketball games in January and Major League Baseball games from August.[5][6] Apple's marketing and titles often shorten the name to "Apple Immersive".[7]

Apple Immersive Video is distinct from spatial video, Apple's consumer stereo format for iPhone and Vision Pro recordings, which visionOS shows inset behind a window with softened edges, or at true scale when played immersively. It is also distinct from the Apple Projected Media Profile (APMP) that visionOS 26 uses for ordinary 180-degree, 360-degree and wide field-of-view videos from other cameras.[4]

Definition

Apple's announcements describe the format in similar terms. At launch the company called the format "a remarkable new entertainment format pioneered by Apple that puts users inside the action with 180-degree, three-dimensional 8K recordings captured with Spatial Audio".[1] Later press releases describe it as a format that "leverages 3D video recorded in 8K with a 180-degree field of view and Spatial Audio".[8] In a 2025 developer session an engineer on the Apple Immersive Video team called it "the highest quality immersive experience for video playback on Apple Vision Pro, with high-fidelity video and fully immersive audio".[2]

Apple's production team gives a more exact technical definition. In a December 2025 developer session, the head of the Apple Immersive Video production ecosystem team described four "pillars" of the format:[3]

  • Fidelity of presence: acuity measured in pixels per degree (PPD), with 20/20 human vision, which Apple equates to about 60 PPD, as the reference.
  • Peripheral field of view: a horizontal field of view between 180 and 230 degrees. Beyond 180 degrees the picture blends into the viewer's periphery, and spatial audio covers what is behind the viewer.
  • Dynamic bespoke projection: the format has no default projection. Clips are not converted to latitude-longitude (equirectangular) frames; they carry the lens data of the physical or computer-generated camera that made them.
  • World scale: because each pixel is projected as it was captured, the picture has no stitching or warping artifacts, straight lines stay straight, and stereoscopic depth cues match the real scene.

The same session stated that Apple Immersive Video is always stereoscopic, that capture and playback run at a minimum of 90 frames per second, that capture is at least 7200 x 7200 pixels per eye, and that cameras enabled for the format must reach at least 40 PPD. Apple said that together these requirements amount to a 44-fold increase in pixels over conventional 4K 2D video.[3]

How it works

Lens calibration and projection

Cameras for the format are calibrated at the factory to record the exact curvature of each of their two stereoscopic lenses, and the calibration travels with every video file. visionOS reads it and projects the video using a "parametric" projection type reserved for Apple Immersive Video.[2] Apple describes the calibration as a JSON file of about 50 kB or less, profiled for each lens of each camera serial number at the manufacturer's facility and written into every clip. A separate parametric definition exists for virtual cameras in 3D content-creation software, so that computer-generated elements can be rendered directly in the format.[3]

Parametric fisheye models of this kind are well established in computer vision. Juho Kannala and Sami Brandt's 2006 paper in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence proposed a generic camera model suitable for fisheye, wide-angle and conventional lenses, together with a calibration method for estimating its parameters, noting that the use of fisheye lenses for measurement had been limited by the lack of an accurate and generic calibration procedure.[9]

A production can combine several cameras. The Immersive Media Support framework stores the set of cameras used in a venue, with their calibrations, edge-blend masks, camera origin positions and optional custom backdrop environments, as a "VenueDescriptor". This data is saved as Apple Immersive Media Embedded (AIME) data. Timed "presentation commands" are multiplexed into the video file alongside the frames: they select which camera calibration applies to each frame, and they trigger fades and "shot flops" (mirroring a shot across its vertical axis) that visionOS renders at playback time rather than baking into the picture.[2] Each shot can also define its own edge blend, a dynamic alpha curve that feathers the edge of the image into the backdrop.[4]

Delivery encoding

Apple recommends delivering the format as MV-HEVC video at 4320 x 4320 pixels per eye, 90 frames per second, in the P3-D65-PQ color space. For streaming over HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), it recommends tiers of 25 to 100 Mbit/s average bandwidth and 50 to 150 Mbit/s peak. The HLS playlist must declare version 12 or later, a "fully immersive" content type, a stereo video layout with the Apple Immersive Video projection, and a link to the AIME file.[2] MV-HEVC is the multiview extension of the H.265/HEVC standard. Its designers describe it as coding multiple camera views efficiently by allowing inter-view references in motion-compensated prediction, and note that it can reuse single-layer decoders because block-level decoding is unchanged.[10]

Before Apple documented the format, independent analysis of the streams had reached similar numbers. In April 2024 AppleInsider reported an analysis by Mike Swanson, who found streams of 4,320 by 4,320 pixels per eye at 90 fps, about 50 Mbps, in HDR10, with each eye in a separate MV-HEVC layer. He found that the image was rotated 45 degrees in the frame, so that the frame's diagonal, its longest dimension, holds the horizon.[11]

Capture resolution is higher than the delivery size, so Apple uses a process it calls Apple Immersive Video foveation. Instead of a uniform downscale, which Apple says would reduce the image to about 24 PPD, foveation keeps the most important parts of the frame at higher acuity while fitting the 4320 x 4320 delivery size, and patterns can be tuned per clip. Apple says that combining foveation with an MV-HEVC encoder tuned for the format gives data rates roughly equal to a typical 2D 4K 24 fps HEVC file.[3]

For sharing and playback of a single file, Apple defined the Apple Immersive Video Universal (AIVU) file, a QuickTime container holding the video, the timed presentation data and the venue metadata. AIVU files play on Vision Pro through Quick Look in the Files app, and the framework includes a validator for them.[2] Apple describes the AIVU as a delivery file for sharing and playback, not for editing or archiving.[3]

Audio

Audio for the format uses the Apple Spatial Audio Format (ASAF), a production format introduced in 2025. It combines linear PCM audio in Broadcast Wave files with new metadata and a spatial renderer built into Apple platforms, and supports point sources and higher-order ambisonics that are rendered according to the positions and orientations of both sound objects and listener. For delivery, ASAF is encoded with the Apple Positional Audio Codec (APAC), which Apple says is required for every Apple Immersive Video experience and works at bitrates as low as 64 kbit/s. ASAF content can be authored with Apple's Pro Tools plug-ins or in DaVinci Resolve Studio.[2] Apple's live-production team said in 2026 that ASAF mixes "can contain 64 or more channels".[12] Productions such as the MotoGP film Tour De Force and the Lakers broadcasts recorded sound with ambisonic microphones.[13][5]

Playback on Vision Pro

In visionOS 26, apps can play Apple Immersive Video through Quick Look, AVKit and RealityKit, including over HLS. Like APMP video, it supports expanded and immersive presentation but not embedded inline playback.[4] RealityKit's video player offers three modes for the format: portal (a windowed presentation), progressive, in which the viewer sets the level of immersion with the Digital Crown, and full immersion. Apple recommends progressive mode because it supports comfort mitigations.[14] The format also carries per-frame camera-motion metadata, which editing software can display in the timeline so that editors can plan for camera movement before reviewing a cut in the headset.[3]

History

Apple announced the first Apple Immersive titles on 16 January 2024: Prehistoric Planet Immersive, inspired by Jon Favreau's Apple TV+ series; Adventure, whose first episode follows highliner Faith Dickey across a Norwegian fjord; Alicia Keys: Rehearsal Room; and the nature series Wild Life, which opens in a rhino sanctuary. They were available at no additional cost in the Apple TV app when Vision Pro launched on 2 February 2024.[15]

At WWDC in June 2024, Apple announced that Blackmagic Design would release the first commercially available camera system for the format later that year, along with an update to DaVinci Resolve Studio.[16] On 18 July 2024 Apple began a new slate of titles with the travel series Boundless and announced the aerial series Elevated, further Wild Life episodes, a film from the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend, a Red Bull big-wave surfing film and an immersive experience with The Weeknd. It also said that the URSA Cine Immersive camera and updated versions of DaVinci Resolve Studio and Apple Compressor would form a production workflow for outside filmmakers.[8] Submerged, a World War II action-adventure short film set aboard a submarine, written and directed by Edward Berger and described by Apple as the first scripted film captured in the format, was released on 10 October 2024.[17]

The concert film Metallica followed on 14 March 2025. It was filmed in Mexico City at the finale of the second year of the band's M72 World Tour with 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras, some on stabilized mounts, some suspended on cables and some on remote-controlled dollies around the stage.[18] In April 2025 Apple released Apple Immersive Video Utility, a free app for macOS and visionOS that imports, organizes, packages and reviews Apple Immersive Video files on a Mac and plays them on one or more connected Vision Pro headsets, with synchronized playback for groups.[19]

At WWDC in June 2025 Apple said it was making the format available to developers and content creators "for the first time". It described a four-step pipeline: capture on the URSA Cine Immersive, edit in DaVinci Resolve Studio, preview and validate in Apple Immersive Video Utility, and segment for HLS delivery in Compressor. It also introduced the Immersive Media Support framework for macOS and visionOS 26.[4] On 22 September 2025 Apple announced films from the Audi F1 Project, the BBC, CANAL+, CNN, HYBE, MotoGP and Red Bull, which it said were among the first captured with the URSA Cine Immersive and edited on a Mac in DaVinci Resolve Studio. For the first of them, Tour De Force from CANAL+ and MotoGP, the crew used four URSA Cine Immersive cameras on pedestals and Steadicams.[13]

On 10 October 2025 Apple and Spectrum SportsNet announced live Los Angeles Lakers games in the format for the 2025-26 NBA season, captured with the URSA Cine Immersive Live, "a version of the camera that launched earlier this year".[7] Apple's schedule listed six games, from Milwaukee Bucks vs. Los Angeles Lakers on 9 January 2026 to Washington Wizards vs. Los Angeles Lakers on 30 March. The broadcasts used a feed of up to 150 Mbps and seven camera positions, including the scorer's table, beneath each basket, the player tunnel and the broadcast booth, with 3D graphics for scores and rosters. In the United States, live games were limited to the Lakers' regional broadcast territory of Southern California, Hawaii and parts of southern Nevada; Vision Pro users in Japan, Singapore and South Korea could watch live through the NBA app, and full-game replays and highlights were offered more widely.[5]

At WWDC in June 2026 Apple presented the format it uses for live Apple Immersive production. Live production uses streamed ProRes frames rather than uncompressed video, uncompressed PCM audio carrying ambisonic beds and audio objects, and per-frame JSON metadata for lens calibrations and creative events. The three are sent between devices as SMPTE ST 2110 streams: 2110-22 for video, with both eyes in a single stream; 2110-30 for audio; and 2110-41 for metadata. Because the media is already ProRes, it can be recorded to a MOV file and played back out without re-encoding.[12] Apple's WWDC26 guide said visionOS 27 would add camera presentation commands that override default configurations in live productions, real-time preview from a Mac to Vision Pro during editing or live production, and custom compositor pipelines.[20]

In August 2026 Apple and Major League Baseball announced Friday Night Baseball live in Apple Immersive on both the M5 and M2 versions of Vision Pro for Apple TV subscribers in nine countries and regions. The first game was the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees on 28 August 2026.[6]

Production and tools

Apple's documentation names the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive as a camera designed for the format from the ground up.[2] According to Apple, it captures 8160 x 7200 pixels per eye (59 megapixels per eye) at 90 frames per second, with up to 210 degrees of horizontal and 180 degrees of vertical field of view, and every lens is individually calibrated at the factory.[4] For its Metallica concert film, Apple described a stage layout of 14 "Apple Immersive Video cameras".[18]

Tool Role in the workflow
DaVinci Resolve Studio (Blackmagic Design) Editing, color grading and ASAF audio mixing and encoding[4][2]
Apple Immersive Video Utility (macOS, visionOS) Importing, organizing, packaging and reviewing files; streaming to one or more Vision Pro headsets[19][4]
Apple Compressor Segmenting content for HLS distribution[4]
Pro Tools plug-ins (Apple) Creating ASAF audio and encoding it to APAC[2]
Immersive Media Support framework (macOS 26, visionOS 26) Reading and writing AIV metadata, validating AIVU files and live preview from Mac to Vision Pro for developers of production tools[21][2]

Reception

In its Vision Pro review of February 2024, UploadVR wrote that the video quality of the launch documentaries "goes beyond any streamed 180-degree 3D video I have ever tried", and compared Meta's streamed immersive video on the same Wi-Fi network unfavorably with it. The reviewer's only complaint was that the format covered 180 degrees rather than at least 270.[23]

The size of the library and the way Apple promotes it have drawn criticism. Writing in May 2026 about the release of Real Madrid: The Weight of Greatness, AppleInsider's Wesley Hilliard called Vision Pro's immersive video library "very limited" two years after its debut. He criticized Apple for announcing the film with a 2D trailer on YouTube that could not be watched immersively on the headset at the time, and wrote that owners could easily miss new releases.[24]

Research context

Research on stereoscopic displays and immersive video describes comfort problems that apply to formats of this kind. In a review of visual discomfort with stereoscopic displays, Lambooij, Fortuin, Heynderickx and IJsselsteijn concluded that when disparities stay within about 1 degree, excessive parallax and the vergence-accommodation conflict appear to be of minor importance. Discomfort can still arise from fast motion in depth, from 3D artifacts caused by insufficient depth information in the signal, and from unnatural blur.[25] Hoffman, Girshick, Akeley and Banks noted that the uncoupling of vergence and accommodation required by conventional 3D displays reduces the ability to fuse binocular stimuli and causes discomfort and fatigue; using a display with nearly correct focus cues, they found that correct cues reduced fusion time, depth distortions and viewer fatigue.[26]

Camera motion is a second concern. Padmanaban, Ruban, Sitzmann, Norcia and Wetzstein listed field of view, motion velocity and stimulus depth among the factors contributing to motion sickness in virtual reality, and studied it in stereoscopic 360-degree video. They built a dataset of stereoscopic videos with sickness ratings and trained a predictor on features for speed, direction and depth over time.[27] Apple's format records per-shot camera-motion metadata so that editors can see motion in the timeline, and Apple recommends progressive immersion for playback because it supports comfort mitigations.[3][14]

Immersive playback of Apple Immersive Video puts the viewer's head where the camera was during capture,[4] so the viewer cannot move through the scene. Research on volumetric video aims to remove that limit. The authors of ImViD, a dataset from Tsinghua University presented at CVPR 2025, cited Apple's July 2024 Apple Immersive Video announcement among the previous work behind their view that immersive media should have a full 360-degree foreground and background, high-quality six-degrees-of-freedom interaction, sound as well as images, and long, high-frame-rate content; their own rig records multi-view video with synchronized audio for 6-DoF reconstruction.[28]
