Blackmagic Design just made a huge announcement at NAB 2025 — revealing their full immersive video workflow from camera to Apple Vision Pro. In this video, we walk through the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive pipeline, from capture in Blackmagic RAW, through DaVinci Resolve, all the way to native immersive playback on Apple Vision Pro using MV-HEVC metadata. We also sat down with Blackmagic Design to discuss the latest URSA Cine Immersive firmware and UIs update, immersive color grading workflows, and a powerful REST API that allows remote camera control — perfect for broadcast and remote Immersive 180 capture environments. Captured live at NAB 2025, this is the first in-depth look at how Blackmagic is setting a new standard for immersive filmmaking, delivering true 8K-per-eye playback with zero baked-in rendering and no double-pass quality loss. Comment “URSA Cine” for the full 30-minute in-depth video. #ursacineimmersive #applevisionpro #visionpro

Meet the Antigravity A1 - the sub-249g 360 drone: that can create Aerial 360 video for Apple Vision Pro! Watch our review here: Top + bottom 360 cameras, smart sensors, an ultra-bright FPV goggle that lets everyone see what you see, and a grip controller that points the drone exactly where you want it. It captures 8K 30fps immersive video with the same image quality as the Insta360 X5. Watch it inside an Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest 3 and you’ll see why I’m excited about where this is going. Comment “Antigravity” and I’ll send you the download link to the full immersive 360 video.

Just watched the NBA LIVE on Apple Vision Pro in 180° Immersive Video tonight, let’s talk: • The image quality is insane. Easily the best live sports experience I’ve seen in 3D 180 (Apple Immersive Video). • No commercials. Thank you, Spectrum. • 5–7 camera angles, including stanchion cams, high-and-wide, scoreboard, and a moving halftime camera. • Dedicated Vision Pro commentators: it genuinely feels designed for this platform, not adapted from TV. • Instant replays help eliminate dead moments during live play. • You can switch between Spatial Video and full immersive 180 viewing. • Live subtitles and live graphics rendered stereoscopically in 3D. • Visual consistency looks the same on both M2 and M5 Vision Pro. • No commercials… yes, still worth repeating. • This is the best live 3D sports presentation I’ve personally experienced. A few honest notes: • Color could use some refinement. • 90fps really proves why high frame rate is essential for live sports. • Viewers can’t choose camera positions • No SharePlay yet (or I missed it). We also did a full 2-hour live watch-along with play-by-play reactions here: 👉 Curious how others feel about immersive live sports: is this the direction broadcasting is heading? Let’s discuss. #AppleVisionPro #NBA

Apple Immersive Video Utility quietly dropped on the App Store and inside visionOS — right in the middle of the madness that was NAB 2025. And somehow, we were lucky enough to be among one the very first creators to get hands-on review. We tested it using the new Blackmagic Design URSA Cine Immersive camera and the DaVinci Resolve Immersive Build, and… wow. Let me tell you — the video will show you more than words ever could. But to be totally honest? This is the best immersive image quality I’ve ever seen in my entire career. Yes, even better than Apple’s own immersive content on Apple TV. Not exaggerating. No chromatic aberration. No stereo conflict in the corners. Just pure, comfortable 3D depth with insanely sharp resolution — even in close-up scenes. But what really blew my mind is the progressive immersion system. With Apple new Immersive Video Utility, the same video can shift seamlessly between Spatial Video and Immersive 180 — and the control is entirely in the viewer’s hands. Too much immersion? Click a button, and the same content plays in a 16:9 spatial format. Want to go full 180? One tap and you’re back in immersive mode. There’s no longer a divide between Spatial Video and Immersive 180. They’re now different states of the same media — and that changes everything for filmmakers like us! No more dual camera setup. Just ONE Blackmagic Design URSA Cine Immersive Camera you got both outputs for dual purposes. What do you think on the “Progressive Immersion” concept? Comment below 👇 #AppleVisionPro #immersive180 #spatialvideo

Apple Immersive Video is incredible on Apple Vision Pro, but few people know what it takes to make it possible. I met with the founders of SpatialGen to dive into the technology they've built to stream immersive video and bring live immersive video to life.

✨ Made a new mini feature on Photo AI: [ Grab from 3d model ] So the problem is we're at that stage in time (typical for AI) where image-to-3d models are not good enough but are fun to play with, but we know they'll be good enough in 1-2 years With [ Make 3d model ] you already can turn any Photo AI pic into a 3d model but it still looks hyper clunky and deformed, but it works! One cool idea I had to make that more useful and made now: Let people make a 3d model then change the view of the it with the 3d viewer, then press [ o ] and it grabs a frame of the 3d That image you can then [ Remix ] (img2img), and it becomes a real photo again and that in turn you can then turn into a video again with [ Make video ] So that essentially gives you a fully freeform camera position control to take photos with One thing I need to fix is the background/skybox, I kinda need to take the original photo and remove the person and just get the background for the 3d model viewer, in this case it should be white, but it's a start!

This seemingly obvious prediction didn't take long to become reality. MASt3R-SLAM: Real-Time Dense SLAM with 3D Reconstruction Priors Contributions: • The first real-time SLAM system using the two-view 3D reconstruction prior MASt3R [20] as a foundation. • Efficient techniques for pointmap matching, tracking and local fusion, graph construction and loop closure, and second-order global optimization. • A state-of-the-art dense SLAM system capable of handling generic, time-varying camera models. Abstract: We present a real-time monocular dense SLAM system, designed from the ground up using MASt3R, a two-view 3D reconstruction and matching prior. Equipped with this strong prior, our system remains robust on in-the-wild video sequences, making no assumptions on a fixed or parametric camera model beyond a unique camera center. Key features include: - Efficient methods for pointmap matching, camera tracking, and local fusion - Graph construction and loop closure - Second-order global optimization With known calibration, a simple modification achieves state-of-the-art performance across various benchmarks. Altogether, we propose a plug-and-play monocular SLAM system capable of producing globally-consistent poses and dense geometry while operating at 15 FPS.

Spatial videos on Apple Vision Pro are certainly cool, but I’m already taking 3D immersive videos using my iPhone and viewing them in mixed reality on Meta Quest 3 This is one of the most WOW moments I’ve experienced with technology. Recorded memories are in pretty good quality, real size and 6DoF, meaning you can walk around it, get closer. And it’s clear that this is still far from being perfect, but I can feel the presence. It’s truly magical. The app is called “Wist” Private beta waitlist

Daily reminder that immersive video, especially in 16K, is already the ultimate killer feature for Vision Pro and the amount of content is growing faster than ever—so nothing “dead” here. “Mindscape”, from the makers of “Story” is the latest addition to my list of apps that I’ll now recommend to anyone. 16K + 180° + 3D alone is a feast for the eyes, but when paired with the right experiences—like chilling on a beach, waking up in a luxurious hotel room, or flying over a city—it’s hard not to be completely blown away by this technology. This truly feels like a way to give your mind a break and escape to beautiful places.

It is hard to grasp how realistic a #GaussianSplatting scan feels on #MetaQuest, so I made this video. Recording and scanning were done at different times of the day, hence the lighting difference, but overall only a side by side comparison in the headset does justice to how smooth and trippy it feels. Did you already tried Hyperscape? What's your impression?
