Apple forayed into the world of mixed reality when it announced the Vision Pro last year. One of the best experiences of the Apple Vision Pro headset is watching videos. However, two of the popular streaming platforms including Netflix and Amazon Prime don’t even provide dedicated apps for it. However, an Australian developer has released a Supercut Netflix Vision Pro app to let you enjoy the content of these platforms.
The Supercut Netflix Vision Pro app is a workaround for the Vision Pro
The Supercut app provides a first-class experience for Netflix and Prime Video subscriptions on the Apple Vision Pro headset. It isn’t just the best way to enjoy the content of these platforms on Vision Pro. It is the only video to experience Netflix and Prime Video on the VR headset. The app works similarly to Apple’s own TV Plus app. However, instead of content from Apple’s platform, it provides content from Netflix and Prime Video.
Supercut provides comprehensive Netflix and Prime Video controls, including subtitles, audio output, and speed adjustment. In addition, it gives you an option to skip ahead or back in a video for a few seconds. If you have multiple user profiles on Netflix or Prime Video, then you can easily switch between them. Also, you will receive visual indicators for Dolby formats, apart from the streaming resolution.
Users can search for content by typing on the keyboard or by using the built-in microphone of the Vision Pro. The Supercut Netflix Vision Pro application also provides support for 4K streaming with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. As of now, it’s unclear whether Netflix or Prime Video will have any problem with Supercut. That said, the unofficial app certainly enhances the content viewing experience on the Apple headset.
Supercut is available for a one-time payment of $4.99
Supercut is available for a one-time payment of just $4.99. The app has been designed by 19-year-old Australian developer Christian Privitelli. So far, the app has met with positive reviews on Reddit r/visionpro forums. He has been getting requests from several Vision Pro users to add Hulu and Peacock support to the Supercut app.
