Overview

The Vport Media Player on Apple Vision Pro lets you watch immersive concert experiences in a spatial environment.

Before the player opens, you’ll see an Event Access Modal showing:

  • Event name
  • Duration
  • Price (free or pay-per-minute)
  • Your wallet balance

Depending on your balance, you can:

  • Teleport into the event
  • Charge your wallet
  • Explore free events

You can watch in:

  • A floating window, or
  • A fully immersive spatial mode

Controls use VisionOS gaze + pinch gestures for play/pause, skipping, volume, event info, reporting issues, quality settings, and horizontal lock for comfortable seated viewing.


Purpose (User Value)

The media player is built to:

  • Make immersive watching easy without extra hardware
  • Use familiar VisionOS-native controls (gaze + pinch)
  • Provide event info directly inside playback
  • Allow quick reporting of issues
  • Deliver a comfortable and intuitive media experience for Apple Vision Pro users

This is the central place where you control any Vport viewing experience on VisionOS.
