Spatial Film Pass-and-Play · Built into the Vision Pro app
Handing someone a headset usually means hovering over them — "pinch that, no, look at it first, now pinch." Pass-and-Play removes all of it. They put the Vision Pro on, and your film is already playing, fully immersive. They take it off, and it resets for the next person.
Your Studio
Tap a film to begin — it plays all around you.
Playing fully immersive · 180°
The welcome screen. Your brand, your films — this is what a guest sees.
Why it exists
You've made — or licensed — an immersive film that stuns people. But between a first-timer and that film sits a home view, a menu, eye tracking they've never used, and forty ways to tap the wrong thing. At a trade show, you get one minute per guest, and you spend it doing tech support.
Pass-and-Play locks Spatial Film into a kiosk. The app's navigation disappears. There is nothing to learn, nothing to break, and nothing to find — just your film, playing the moment the headset touches their head.
Set it up once
In Spatial Film on your Vision Pro, choose Pass-and-Play in the left navigation. Everything on this page — films, branding, modes — is the whole setup.
Why it mattersOne page, set up once. After this, the headset can be run by someone who has never seen a Vision Pro before — that's the point.
Pull from your Spatial Film download library, open a file from Files, or pick a spatial video straight from Photos. Apple Immersive Video, Spatial Video, VR180, 360° and flat video all work.
Why it mattersApple formats are detected automatically and play through Apple's own immersive pipeline. For anything else, you set the projection and 3D layout once — your guest never sees that decision.
Tap Start Pass-and-Play. The app locks into kiosk mode: the navigation rail disappears and the home screen becomes a single, giant Play button no one can miss.
Why it mattersA guest can't wander into your downloads, your settings, or the rest of the catalogue. There is nothing on screen except the one thing you want them to see.
A guest puts the headset on — the film plays from the beginning, fully immersive. They take it off — it resets for the next viewer. Between guests, anyone can also just say “Hey Siri, Play Spatial Film.”
Why it mattersEvery viewer gets the same first frame and the same finale. No one inherits the previous guest's leftover timeline, and no one needs a single instruction.
Tap Exit Pass-and-Play in the top bar and the full app comes back. Your films, branding and settings are all remembered for next time.
Why it mattersSet up your booth once. Every show after that is: open the app, tap Start, hand it over.
One practical tip: turn the device Passcode off before the event, so the headset wakes hands-free every time it's passed to a new head.
For members
With a Spatial Film membership, the kiosk stops being our app and becomes your experience — your name, your logo, your background, your button color. And you choose how it behaves:
For the one film that says everything.
For a booth that shows a body of work.
A stranger picks it up, and what they meet is your brand — then your film.
Setting it up is the same page, three more decisions: flip on White-Label and brand it, pick Video Only or Showroom, then add up to four films — the setup page numbers them, and tells you exactly which one Siri will play.
Pass-and-Play ships inside the Spatial Film app for Apple Vision Pro. The app is free — and so is Pass-and-Play with a single film.

Pass-and-Play with a single film is included in the free Spatial Film app — pick a film you own, start it, hand the headset over. Branded Pass-and-Play — your logo and colors, the four-film showcase, the 360° environment — comes with a Spatial Film membership.
Apple Immersive Video (AIVU), Apple Projected Media (APMP), Spatial Video, VR180, 360° and regular flat video. Apple formats are detected automatically; for other formats you set the projection and 3D layout once when you pick the film.
No. The guest never sees a login, a menu, or a setting. They put the headset on and the film plays. Everything is set up once, by you.
The film resets. In Video Only mode, the next person who puts it on gets the film from the beginning, automatically. In Showroom mode, they get your branded welcome screen and pick a film — or say “Hey Siri, Play Spatial Film.”
Yes — Showroom mode holds up to four, shown as one row of posters your guest taps. Film 1 is the headline: Siri and putting the headset on always start it, and up/down arrows on the setup page reorder the films any time — the order is also the reel's play order. Films chain like a reel — when one ends the next plays, through the last, and then the welcome screen returns. Showroom films are Apple Immersive or Spatial Video — the formats that chain seamlessly; the free AirStream Mac app converts anything else.
Yes, with one manual step. Apple doesn't let any app open its system environments, so they can't be preset from setup — but you can: open Mount Hood (or any Apple environment) from the Home View before starting the kiosk, and leave the Immersive Environment setting on None. Your welcome screen floats inside it, films still play fully immersive, and the environment is there again after each film.
Inside Spatial Film, no: kiosk mode hides the app's navigation entirely, so there is nothing to wander into. The exit control stays visible — that's deliberate, nobody should ever be trapped — but it only ends kiosk mode. Vision Pro itself is still Apple's hardware: the Digital Crown always goes home, so for a fully unattended booth, keep an eye on the headset.
Yes. Films, order, covers, branding, mode and environment all persist. Exit Pass-and-Play, relaunch the app, restart the headset — your setup is exactly where you left it.
Films from the Spatial Film library show their official cover automatically. For your own files, upload any image — 16:9 looks best — and it's cropped cleanly into the tile. No image at all? The app generates a designed title card in your brand color, with the film's name on it.
Three places: films downloaded from the Spatial Film catalogue, files opened from the Files app, and spatial videos picked from Photos. If your footage isn't Vision Pro-ready yet, the free AirStream Mac app converts VR180, 360°, 3D and flat video into native formats first.
Because software that traps people is bad software — and Apple agrees. The branded kiosk shows one small ✕ in the corner. It ends kiosk mode; it doesn't undo your setup, which is saved regardless.
