The person wearing it
shouldn't have to drive it.

Open it. Your own devices are already paired.

If your iPhone and your Apple Vision Pro sign in to the same Apple Account — and they usually do, because they're both yours — the Remote connects the moment you open it. No PIN, nothing to type.

Handing control to someone else's phone — a colleague at the booth, a friend taking over? Vision Pro shows a one-time PIN. They enter it once, and that phone reconnects on its own after.

Why it mattersNothing to sign up for, no email to hand over, no server of ours in the middle. Your own devices just recognise each other, and every command stays on your own Wi-Fi — straight to Vision Pro, nothing uploaded.

Your whole library — the immersive stuff too — on your phone

Not just flat films. Your local Apple Immersive Video, your VR180, and the 360 clips you shot on your Insta360 or DJI — the entire Spatial Film library on Vision Pro shows up on the phone, with posters, titles and runtimes. Tap to queue, drag to reorder, jump straight to any of it.

Re-cue the room on the fly: pull the 360 clip forward, drop the next film in behind it, reorder the whole night live from the couch — never taking the headset back.

A VJ deck for Vision Pro, in your pocket.

Why it mattersThe person wearing Vision Pro never sees a menu. You're at the board, mixing what comes next, and all they do is look up and find the next world already there.

Run playback from your pocket

Play, pause, scrub the timeline, skip forward and back, and set the volume. Every tap lands on the headset instantly.

Why it mattersThe wearer keeps their hands down and their eyes in the film. You hold the whole transport in one thumb.

Switch immersive modes for them

Flip between full Apple Immersive playback and a windowed 3D view, right from the phone — no need to ask the person in the headset to do anything.

It's also the comfort control. A fast, sweeping immersive shot can be a lot for a first-timer; drop them into the windowed 3D view — the same film in a smaller frame that fills far less of their field of view — and the motion settles into something they can hold onto. If someone starts to feel it, you fix it in a single tap, before they have to say a word.

Why it mattersFirst-timers rarely know the gesture, and describing it breaks the moment. You just do it — whether you're opening the world up around them, or gently bringing it back into a window when the ride gets intense.

Queue a hands-free screening

Line up films back to back and let them play through. When one ends, the next begins.

Why it mattersAn exhibition that runs all day, a living-room screening you never want to interrupt — set the order once and let the room stay in it.

Send your own Spatial Video, straight to their eyes

Your iPhone already shoots Spatial Video. Open the Remote, pick one from your camera roll, and send it to the Apple Vision Pro someone's wearing — it's in front of them in seconds, life-size and in real depth. Nothing to sync, nothing to plug in.

Hand Grandma the headset after dinner and drop her back into this morning's birthday. Send the wobbly 3D selfie you took with the dog. Whoever's wearing it doesn't scroll and doesn't search — the moment just arrives around them, and the whole table watches their face.

Why it mattersThis is the part that was never about a trade show. It's a way to put someone inside something you captured — a first birthday, a wedding toast, a Kimchi close-up — and hand it to them across the table, from your phone.
