LALO Immersive is a beautiful and powerful Apple Vision Pro experience. The immersive video work is exceptional, and it makes the performance feel personal and present in a way that normal video cannot. I loved seeing the Philippine choral group brought into spatial video with such care and respect. Paolo and the team are doing meaningful work, and I am excited to see how they continue to use immersive video to share culture, music, and human stories!
Beautiful Music Experience
Augmenos
A fantastic way to discover Filipino-American choir. The music itself is beautiful, and listening within the church environment is moving. The details are on the level of Apple’s environments. A great cultural journey on Apple Vision Pro!Update: 3D video will not play, just shows logo video. An area to improve, but the 2D videos were flawless and super cool with the reflection on the marble floor!
A quiet, focused space
NinetySixK
This is a pretty niche app, but in a good way.What I appreciated most is how it tries to recreate the feeling of sitting in a church, listening to a choir. With spatial audio and video, it comes surprisingly close.The whole thing feels considered. The content and the app seem built around the same intention, which makes using it feel more like entering a space than browsing through stuff.Would be interesting to one day hear about how it was made, like the process of pulling everything together.
