Vimeo is set to showcase its latest innovation in immersive storytelling with ‘Currents‘, a cinematic experience designed specifically for Apple Vision Pro. Combining motion capture, high-fidelity animation, and 8K-per-eye spatial video, ‘Currents‘ aims to push the boundaries of how stories are told and experienced in extended reality (XR).
Rather than a traditional viewing experience, ‘Currents‘ utilizes Apple Vision Pro’s spatial capabilities to create a sense of presence—placing audiences directly within the world of the film. The project explores the energy and atmosphere of Ho Chi Minh City, capturing its movement and soundscape in a way that conventional film techniques cannot. Viewers will follow the story of Lyn, a woman navigating life in a new city, with a level of intimacy and perspective that redefines cinematic engagement.
Set to premiere at SXSW 2025, ‘Currents‘ will be featured at Vimeo’s largest-ever XR booth, offering festivalgoers an opportunity to experience firsthand what could be the future of spatial storytelling.
