ImmersiShare

Upgraded to the Vision Pro M5, but I also used this app back when I had the M2. It was good then, and it’s noticeably improved since. The world map feature is a great touch — you can jump to different spots and preview what kind of media is tied to each location. It supports immersive videos and panoramic content, which really helps show off what the headset can do. The ambient color haze around the screen is a nice detail too, since it softens the edges and keeps your real-world surroundings from breaking the mood. It’s still not perfect. Some of the interface and filtering could be smoother, and some areas feel like they’re almost there. But it’s definitely moving in the right direction. Curious to see future updates.

This app is good enough to make you want to use it often. However, the more you use it, the more aggravating one of its behaviors becomes. By design, the media launch window always reappears wherever you happened to be looking when viewing a piece of media — not where you originally placed it. This is infuriating! For instance, and this happens a lot, if you’re watching a video, and you’re looking at the far left of the video when it ends (and you never know when a video is about to end), the launcher window automatically comes up way over on the left near where you were momentarily looking? It makes my neck hurt. Why would anyone think this is good app behavior? Please let me put the launcher window where I want it — and leave it there. Nobody wants to be chasing a window all over the place. See Spatial Station for a good and normal example of a window that stays were you put it.

This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for! However, the interface isn’t perfect. The little white bar at the bottom (that we normally use to position our windows in space) is missing, as well as the ability to resize the media. If I can move and resize the downloaded content, that would be huge! & make this an easy 5 star. There’s also some clipping that occurs between the video controller and the video itself, but that’s more of a minor annoyance compared to the aforementioned inability to move and resize. Still! I love this app and can’t wait for more updates!
