Summary

  • $9.99 a month gets Apple Vision Pro users access to Fovii, a new immersive-video app that also offers $99.99 annual plans and individual film rentals.
  • The platform was built to showcase stereoscopic 180-degree content and the creators behind it, pairing live-action immersive stories with studio pages, team details, behind-the-scenes videos and spatial photos.
  • John Racine — a former NextVR specialist who later helped Apple develop its Immersive Video format — founded Fovii with Krishna Jagadish, drawing on ties to immersive filmmakers and Blackmagic camera technology.
  • At launch, Fovii includes a few exclusive Vision Pro titles from Rogue Labs and some previously released projects, while targeting two new immersive videos a month as it seeks more studio partners.
  • The debut addresses a still-thin pool of quality Vision Pro experiences, though the report said the pricing may feel steep given the current amount and length of available content.
