Product Introduction
- The Spatial Video Editor is an on-device tool within the Spatial Media Toolkit that enables users to create, edit, and export spatial videos or photo slideshows with background music. It supports direct integration with 2D-to-3D conversion technology, allowing seamless transformation of traditional media into immersive spatial formats. All processing occurs locally on the user’s device, ensuring privacy and eliminating cloud dependencies.
- The core value lies in its ability to democratize spatial storytelling by combining intuitive editing tools with advanced AI-powered 3D conversion. It bridges the gap between 2D legacy content and modern spatial formats, enabling users to repurpose existing media into immersive experiences. The tool prioritizes privacy and cross-platform compatibility, making it suitable for both personal and professional use cases.
Main Features
- Users can import spatial photos and videos from their library, trim clips, rearrange sequences, and add custom background music before exporting in spatial-compatible formats. The editor provides real-time stereo spatial previews within the app, ensuring accurate visualization of depth and immersion.
- Direct integration with the app’s 2D-to-3D conversion engine allows batch processing of legacy 2D videos or photos into spatial formats, which can be added to the editor timeline in one tap. This feature supports near real-time conversion for videos and high-fidelity AI upscaling for photos.
- Companion iOS and Mac apps enable cross-device workflows, allowing users to start editing on a mobile device and continue on a desktop. The tool also supports exporting to VR headsets like Meta Quest and converting side-by-side VR formats to Apple Spatial Video standards.
Problems Solved
- The product addresses the complexity of creating spatial content from scratch or repurposing existing 2D media, which traditionally requires specialized software and technical expertise. It eliminates the need for cloud-based processing, resolving privacy concerns for sensitive personal or professional content.
- Target users include casual creators seeking to enhance vacation videos or family slideshows, professionals transitioning legacy media libraries to spatial formats, and VR enthusiasts sharing content across mixed-reality platforms.
- Typical scenarios include converting a decade-old 2D wedding video into a spatial experience, compiling 360-degree travel clips into a narrative with music, or preparing real estate walkthroughs for VR headset presentations.
Unique Advantages
- Unlike cloud-dependent editors, this tool processes all data locally using on-device neural engines, ensuring zero data leakage and compliance with strict privacy regulations. It supports Apple’s Spatial Video standard natively while maintaining compatibility with third-party VR ecosystems.
- The patented AI model enables near real-time 2D-to-3D video conversion at 30 FPS, outperforming most competitors requiring server-side rendering. Batch processing allows simultaneous conversion of hundreds of files with adjustable depth parameters.
- Competitive advantages include a unified ecosystem spanning iOS, macOS, and Vision Pro devices, frame-perfect synchronization for multi-track spatial audio, and automatic metadata optimization for platform-specific exports like Instagram 3D or Vision Pro Spatial Gallery.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Can I convert old 2D videos shot on non-Apple devices? Yes, the editor accepts any 2D video format (MP4, MOV, AVI) and applies depth reconstruction using on-device AI, regardless of the original capture device.
- How does on-device processing protect my privacy? All media analysis, conversion, and editing occur locally without uploading data to servers, with encrypted temporary files deleted immediately after export.
- What VR headsets are supported for exports? The tool exports spatial videos in Apple Vision Pro format, Meta Quest-compatible side-by-side 3D, and YouTube VR-ready 180°/360° projections.
- Does real-time 3D conversion work during editing? Yes, the Spatial Gallery preview renders 2D-to-3D conversions in real time, allowing instant adjustments to depth intensity and perspective before finalizing the timeline.
- Can I edit spatial videos captured on iPhone 15 Pro? Yes, the editor natively supports Apple’s MV-HEVC spatial video format, enabling direct trimming, audio mixing, and metadata preservation during exports.
