Netflix mentioned final yr that it had no plans for a local app for the Apple Vision Pro — a disappointment for homeowners, given how well-suited it’s for the duty. Now, a new app called Supercut brings Netflix streaming to Apple’s headset with out letterboxing bars on the highest and backside of the video; it additionally helps 4K streaming with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Imaginative and prescient.
Made by developer Christian Privitelli, Supercut provides playback controls — together with subtitles, audio output, playback velocity, and the power to skip forward or again just a few seconds — plus the power to modify between profiles on the fly. It even provides you a visible indicator telling you whether or not your video is outputting in a single or each of the Dolby codecs and what decision you’re streaming at.
In any other case, the app is fairly easy. There are not any immersive environments apart from the visionOS system-level ones, though Privitelli posted that he’s engaged on that for model 1.2 of the app. Apparently, it is going to be much like the superb Cinema setting that, thus far, appears to be unique to the Apple TV Plus app.
Along with Netflix, there’s a fundamental implementation of Amazon Prime Video, which does exist on the headset as an iPad app however is letterboxed, like Netflix in a Safari window. There’s additionally an area for getting into a URL for an additional service, akin to YouTube.
Supercut is a $4.99 one-time cost for the time being. I’ve solely spent a short interval working by means of the options and watching a couple of minutes of video, however thus far, it looks like a promising stand-in for Netflix on the Imaginative and prescient Professional. Now in the event you’ll excuse me, I’ll be over right here mockingly watching 3 Body Problem with my face pc.
