Vista - 2D VR Player

iOS Universel / Photo et vidéo

Vista is a 180° side-by-side (SBS) VR video player for iPhone and iPad. It’s built to make viewing VR180 footage without a headset easy and intuitive providing the best experience.

Designed with performance and visual correctness in mind, Vista uses Apple’s Metal graphics stack to render immersive video smoothly while giving you intuitive touch controls for exploration and inspection. Because of this, Vista also works equally well for high definition playback of standard 2D movies that are a part of your collection.

With Vista, you may open videos that are on the device or shared files using the system Files picker. You may also browse and stream from an optional VistaServer library on your local network. Playback issues make File Sharing on MacBook unusable for most high quality videos. VistaServer was built to allow storage of high quality video files on your MacBook or external drive connected to MacBook and then share them to Vista player over local network with the highest quality possible. It is available on App Store for MacOS.
