TikTok has introduced a new app for Apple’s Vision Pro headset, delving into augmented reality. The app offers a familiar TikTok experience while utilizing the Vision Pro’s capabilities, with a layout reminiscent of the mobile version but adapted for the headset’s features.
Furthermore, the videos play vertically, with options for liking, commenting, and sharing, and ample space is provided for viewing comments and creator information without obstructing the video.
TikTok designed the app for viewing videos in either the real world or virtual environments, such as the moon, and ensured compatibility with other headset apps. While TikTok embraces augmented reality, other streaming giants like Disney and Amazon Prime Video have enthusiastically joined, offering 3D movies for Vision Pro users.
However, Netflix and YouTube are more cautious, preferring users to watch through browsers, though YouTube might consider an app in the future. This move marks TikTok’s venture into augmented reality, aligning with broader trends in immersive technology.
