Reality Viewer offers a clean straightforward inerface. However, without any options to modify the display (e.g. saturation, sharpness) or direction of view. It is just 2D or 3D, VR180 or VR360 and immersive or window mode. The main advantage which makes Reality Player stand out from competing apps is the correct visualization of the Zenith and Nadir shots. Both pixels at +90° and -90° are correctly interpolated in immersive view. They do not show the „star-like“ visualization artifacts that all other 360x180° viewers show (I have tested 6 of them). However, Reality Player also has one unique disadvantage: when images are adequately sharpened, the image display shows high-frequency flickering towards the outer margins of the field of view. This can be disturbing. Other viewers do not show flickering with same images (12,568x6,284 pixels) and and identical degree of sharpening. I am not sure, but it appears that the „graphic engine“ of Reality Viewer applies a higher default degree of sharpening than other viewers. If the flickering issue could be resolved in an update, it would make Reality Viewer top of the list with a 5-Star Rating.

I found no other player, that is as versatile … video AND photos … 2D, 3D, Spatial, Immersive. It‘s really great, I haven‘t found anything yet, I was not able to display.And with RealityPlayer I am able to watch my spatial pictures without the softened edges Apple implements in the Photos app (and crops many images through it!).There would be one wish/ proposal, but I am not sure, if it‘s supported from Apples frameworks: When browsing photos or films from the photo library immersively, it would be fantastic, if there would be a gesture, to load the next picture/ film in the photo library!Please, please, please … if it‘s possible, please implement it! 🙏(Or is it possible already, and I was not able to figure it out?)Another addition, that would be really useful: Implement the ShareSheet extension, so that it would be possible, to send a picture from the photos app directly to RealityPlayer. E.g. a 360 panorama, that RP is displaying better!

Meine Erwartung, schon anhand des Preises, wäre das man wenigstens während des Abspielens Einstellungen vornehmen kann. Das könnten beispielsweise Korrekturen von Neigung oder Zoom oder höhe sein
