Vision Pro users will soon be able to view spatial photos and videos in Safari, according to reports PetaPixels. The photography site conducted an interview with Apple product manager Della Huff and designer Billy Sorrentino, who shared that Apple is bringing spatial photo and spatial video support to Safari.


Later this year, web developers will be able to add spatial photos and videos to their websites, viewable in 3D on the Vision Pro.

Spatial photos and videos can be captured with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, as well as all four iPhone 16 models and the Vision Pro itself. Note that spatial photo support is coming to the ‌iPhone 15‌ Pro in iOS 18.1, scheduled for release next week. With Vision Pro and visionOS 2, even existing photos can be given even more depth.

Currently, spatial photos and videos can only be viewed on Vision Pro if they are sent directly to you via message, email, or AirDrop, making it difficult to see content from other people. Browser support for spatial videos and photos allows iPhone users to upload their content to websites where anyone with a Vision Pro can see it in 3D.

For those without Vision Pro, spatial photos and videos look like standard media embeds. “Once you embed spatial content, people who are using Vision Pro are getting spatial content, and people who are just looking at it on their laptop are seeing it in two dimensions,” Sorrentino said PetaPixels.

There’s no exact information on when spatial photo and video support will be available for Safari, but it’s expected to be available before the end of the year, so it could be included in a visionOS 2.2 update.
