Hey MacRumors community,
James here with some incredible news – Explore POV just hit a major milestone: 6 months since launch! For those who might not be familiar, we offer ultra-high resolution (up to 16K!) VR180 immersive videos of breathtaking locations around the world. I personally shoot all the footage and developed the app to really push what Vision Pro can do.
In just half a year, Explore POV has grown from a passion project showcasing New Zealand's beauty to exploring 10 new countries around the world! This adventure has been nothing short of extraordinary and your support and enthusiasm continue to blow me away. To celebrate, I'm thrilled to announce the app has a whole new interface and I've achieved a massive leap in video quality, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on Vision Pro. But that's not all – I've got more exciting updates about where we're headed next and a giveaway to say thank you for everyone who's been part of this adventure.
First Up, Important Stats:
🚀 What's New:
You've been asking for more locations.. so I'm packing my bags again to capture two new countries before the year's out! Where should I go next? Drop your dream destinations in the comments!
🎁 6-Month Birthday Giveaway! To give back to this awesome community I'll be running a giveaway over on Explore POV Instagram and Facebook channels. Follow us for your chance to win a premium subscription!
