ImmersiX Streams 6DoF Movies to Apple Vision Pro

ImmersiX runs its 6DoF movies on NVIDIA's cloud, so Vision Pro owners can move inside each scene without a gaming PC or complex setup.

The recently launched ImmersiX app brings a small collection of 6DoF movies to Apple Vision Pro. V-Nova runs each movie on NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud, then streams it to the headset.

6DoF means you can do more than look around. You can lean, step, and move closer as the view changes with you. It feels more like standing inside a scene than watching it from one spot.

I tested Sharkarma: Guardian of the Oceans, Weightless by Arilena Ara, Construct VR, and an Introduction to V-Nova PresenZ demo. I also tried an unreleased preview of Agent 327: Operation Barbershop.

How It Works

The movies start as detailed 3D scenes built with V-Nova's PresenZ format. A cloud player creates the right view for each eye as you move. NVIDIA CloudXR sends those images to Vision Pro and sends your movement back to the server.

The app is only 43 MB and does not need a connected gaming PC. The hard graphics work stays in the cloud, while Vision Pro shows a view that follows your movement.

CloudXR is best known for business demos and controlled setups. ImmersiX brings it into people's homes, where it has to work on normal internet connections.

Going Hands On

Sharkarma and Agent 327: Operation Barbershop were my favorites. In Operation Barbershop, I could stand in the path of a laser as it crossed the room. In Sharkarma, I stood under a boat with scuba divers as an anchor chain dropped through the water. I reached for it without thinking.

I could lean around the divers, look beneath the boat, and move closer. The objects stayed in place as I moved, which made the scene feel solid.

When I moved too far from the starting point, the movie faded and my room came back into view. ImmersiX gives you space to lean and take a few steps, but you cannot walk through the scenes without limits.

Some of the animation looks older, but it still looked great on Vision Pro. Being able to move inside the scenes gave them new life.

Smooth Once It Starts

Once a movie started, I forgot it was coming from the cloud. Playback felt smooth and immediate. Moving between videos took more patience. Two showed an error at first, but both worked after I waited a little longer and tried again.

V-Nova recommends a dedicated 5 GHz Wi-Fi network with at least 80 Mbps download speed. On my connection, the wait happened between videos, not while they were playing.

Access

ImmersiX is available free on the App Store (opens in a new tab) for Apple Vision Pro and requires visionOS 26 or later. Construct VR costs $0.99 and Sharkarma costs $4.99 as in-app purchases in the United States.

V-Nova provided Spatial Insider with complimentary access and an invitation code.

ImmersiX left me excited about what 6DoF movies can become on Vision Pro. I cannot wait to see what filmmakers make next.
