Acute Immersive, a San Francisco-based startup, is proud to announce the imminent launch of its groundbreaking platform that combines a global content subscription service with a professional distribution tool for immersive 180/360-degree videos. Acute Immersive will initially be available on Apple Vision Pro, offering an all-encompassing solution for both viewers and industry professionals.
A Global Content Subscription Platform
Acute Immersive is designed for viewers worldwide, providing access to a curated library of high-quality immersive shows, documentaries, music, entertainment, and more. With subscription plans starting at $9.99 per month, users can stream unlimited immersive videos from the comfort of their homes. A premium $19.99 plan offers exclusive perks such as VIP festival invitations, live Q&A sessions with filmmakers, and early access to features in development.
In addition, Acute Immersive empowers creators by offering a free platform to upload and submit their content for inclusion in the public library. Creators can also monetize their work as premium video-on-demand (VOD), with pricing strategies developed in collaboration with the Acute team. By focusing on high-end virtual reality content, Acute Immersive is set to become the premier streaming platform for VR enthusiasts and a powerful partner for immersive creators worldwide. The launch for the Consumer version of Acute is planned for Q2 of this year.
A Professional Distribution Tool for Teams
Already available to professionals for free, Acute Immersive also offers a robust distribution tool tailored for teams working on immersive video projects. This feature allows organizations to securely view and share their immersive videos internally during production. Teams can easily add users to their organization and share private videos, ensuring a seamless workflow and effective collaboration. For businesses and creators, the platform also functions as a content management system (CMS), enabling private video hosting and secure sharing through public links or individual user access.
Acute Immersive also provides a white label enterprise solution for TV channels, brands, and organizations looking to distribute immersive content under their own branding. This ensures full control over marketing and branding assets while leveraging Acute’s robust, secure platform. Whether for corporate training, internal reviews, or branded immersive experiences, Acute Immersive offers a comprehensive solution for professionals across industries.
A Visionary Team
Acute Immersive was founded by Anthony Maes, a French engineer with extensive experience in groundbreaking technologies such as Tesla’s Autopilot. Maes also led development teams at Niantic, the multi-billion-dollar creator of the augmented reality game Pokémon Go. Joining him is co-founder Paul Mezier, a veteran producer of virtual, mixed, and augmented reality applications who has worked closely with tech leaders like Apple, Meta, and Google, while also developing start-ups making products such as VR training for astronauts.
Anthony Maes, CEO of Acute Immersive, said: “The single largest opportunity in XR in the next 10 years is going to be entertainment, not productivity, not even gaming. It might sound like a bold prediction, but it’s already evident to Vision Pro users and film professionals dipping their toes into immersive production.”
Paul Mezier, COO of Acute Immersive, added: “This is a tremendously exciting moment to build a company in virtual reality and spatial computing. The imminent competition between Apple, Meta and Google means that a vast number of users are about to embark on a new adoption journey. We can’t wait to show them the power that this technology holds.”
