2024: A Year of Growth
What a wild year 2024 has been! When I flew from New Zealand to Los Angeles to be first in line for Vision Pro's launch, I had one simple goal, to watch my footage in the highest possible resolution. I could never have imagined that passion project would evolve into what Explore POV is today.
This amazing community has helped Explore POV grow from a simple idea into one of Vision Pro's most celebrated apps and we couldn't have done it without your support, feedback and enthusiasm!

The Impact
When I started Explore POV, I set out to transport people to extraordinary places. What I never expected was how it would impact people so profoundly. Here are a few epic reviews we’ve received this year.
This recent App Store review left me speechless!
"Adding Explore POV to my daily self-care routine has been one of the most important steps in my mental health journey... Every session leaves me feeling lighter, and my once-overwhelming thoughts seem far less dark and doomed. You've created something that truly matters - a tool that's helped at least one person face each day with a little more peace and resilience."
Personal Highlights
Looking back, it's the unexpected moments that made 2024. I still cannot believe the remarkable response I got when I first launched the app, especially the personal emails I received encouraging me to keep going.
Being invited to Apple headquarters to meet with their Vision Pro leadership team was another 'pinch me' moment I'll never forget. But the real magic happened out on location. From hiking with the midnight sun in Norway, to riding a camel into the sunset in the Sahara Desert, every expedition reinforced why I started this journey - to transport people to places they might never otherwise experience.
This month's release of "Guardians of Tamatea" feels like everything coming full circle - combining my passion for incredible places with the stories that make them worth protecting.
Whether you're a long-time explorer or just discovering us today - welcome to the community. We can't wait to show you what's next.
