We film real places around the world in VR180 and put them on your headset: mountain lakes, quiet beaches, glaciers, villages and rainforest. You don’t watch them on a screen. You stand there and look around.
Explore POV is a native app on Apple Vision Pro, and our films also play in the browser on Meta Quest, Pico and Samsung Galaxy XR, with nothing to install.
We film every place ourselves, on location. No stock footage and no CGI: real light, real depth. Our Apple Immersive films are shot on the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, the camera made for that format.
Our first films were 4K. Today we film in up to 16K, so the detail holds up wherever you look.
212 films across 22 destinations, and 100,000+ downloads. We add new places regularly, and every film is made to help you forget you're wearing a headset.
Explore POV has been featured by Apple, Forbes, TechRadar, and Gear Patrol, and contributed footage to BBC Click. CBS Detroit covered how immersive video is being studied as a tool for mental health support.
We are a small team that films, edits and builds everything in-house: no stock footage, no outsourced shoots, one consistent eye behind every frame.
Explore POV was started by filmmaker James Hustler.
