Apple just unveiled their Vision Pro spatial computer AR/VR headset today. Pretty impressive hardware and software from what I could see demonstrated during the keynote! And yes quite expensive at a $3,500 starting price. With over 4K resolution per eye, spatial audio, and the ability to watch movies and other video content (including 3D movies) on a huge screen in virtual environments like a movie theater, I couldn’t help but think the Vision Pro will be amazing for streaming movies from Plex! I’m hoping Plex will develop a new version of the app specifically for visionOS to take advantage of the hardware. Vision Pro will run existing iPad apps in 2D resizable windows, so I assume the existing iPad Plex app will run as is. That should be fine for 2D movies But for 3D movies I’m thinking that would require a native Plex app for visionOS, or modifying the iPad app to support 3D movies in visionOS. What I would love to see is a native Plex app for Vision Pro that has built-in movie theater environments similar to Big Screen and Skybox VR apps on Meta Quest 2 and Pro. ---

Bought a VR headset specifically for PLEX once. They dropped support months later. Not expecting this to be any different. ---

Also buying a Vision Pro on Day 1 and hope Plex will support it. The iPad version will be compatible on day 1, but I really hope they will make a few adjustments to optimize it for the Vision Pro!! Plex will be a very popular Vision Pro app like it is on Apple TV. Any word from Plex on this? ---

Counting the minutes until Jan 19th at 5am when I can preorder mine. Sure, we can always use the web client at worst, and hopefully Plex won’t pull a stupid Netflix move and prevent the iPad client from running on Vision Pro, but I would really love to see a native client – and especially an effort for proper detection and transcoding of 3D movies. ---

I’d much rather see Plex spend time and money on making the Apple TV client better vs an app that a very small number of users are going to use. ---

While there will be no native Plex app on launch day the iPhone and iPad apps should be available to users on Apple Vision Pro. ---

Another optimization they’d need to add to the Vision Pro app is support for MV-HEVC playback. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/7/9/6/79602b70e9e5c2dbab811e9520bbc7015233717e.png) ---

I’m not confident they won’t block Atmos to AirPods from non blessed apps though. That is going to be a major audio downside. ---

Now that the Vision Pro is out, I’d love to see a Plex-native player for the system. I’m using the iPad app, which works, but is definitely not ideal. ---

Yeah, it’s absolutely not ideal because the resolution seems to be limited to the display size of an iPad window and you can’t expand it beyond that beyond that. The Apple TV app can go way wider, and even has the environments too. I so hope we get a native app soon… ---

Baby steps, proper audio through HomePods attached to the Apple TV has been enough of a challenge to take years. ---

Very disappointing, but not surprising either. I’ve bought Infuse lifetime because they’re working on an app. Charge us extra, a subscription, don’t care, we need a native Plex on Vision Pro! ---

> [@rebelancap](#): > > we need a native Plex on Vision Pro! why? it’s a such a niche product where most of the people who’ve bought one are youtube reviewers would will use it for a week then box it back up and return it. if plex should be investing any development time/money it certainly shouldn’t be on visionOS. ---

I respectfully disagree. I think it would be a good business move to make a vision OS app as fast as possible. The return rates were revealed to be on average with other products, it just seemed like everyone was returning them because that’s what was in the media. I have one and can tell you watching 3D movies in it is like nothing else. It’s like 3D content was waiting for this device to be invented. Right now, there are few apps and the device is really only great for content consumption… which is where Plex could take advantage. Before the store gets crowded with other apps, they could ride the media wave. How many of those YouTubers you talked about would make a video talking about Plex. The increase in revenue would allow them to invest more in the other areas. Like getting a free cash infusion. For potentially 100,000s of free media. Making an app for this, whether you personally see value in it, would be a good move for Plex. My two cents. ---

+1 for a native app. Even if all you did was replicate the same app, but give me a pop out player and mv-hevc support (Apple even provides [transcoding code](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/media_reading_and_writing/converting_side-by-side_3d_video_to_multiview_hevc) to accomplish this!) The content consumption experience is second to none. Frankly if I could pay an IAP to upgrade to a vision native app I would. ---
