Will all Apps become spatial eventually?

"Even more app experiences: Apple Vision Pro has an all-new App Store where users can discover apps and content from developers, and access hundreds of thousands of familiar iPhone and iPad apps that run great and automatically work with the new input system for Vision Pro. Apple’s developer community can go even further and take advantage of the powerful and unique capabilities of Vision Pro and visionOS to design brand-new app experiences, and reimagine existing ones for spatial computing."

Apple built-in Apps like Facetime, Notes, Music, Safari, etc. already have their Spatial versions. It would be interesting to see other popular Apps done in native Spatial mode and taking advantage of the new interaction methods. I mean, technically we can already use all of iOS + iPadOS + Mac + TVOS Apps in canvas form just like we operate them normally, but that won't be any difference with using iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV.

Imagine if we can rotate, zoom, place any of the Instagram photos in your home environment. Any movies streaming apps like Netflix can take advantage of theatre mode. Any editing Apps can take advantage of direct manipulation. Any music creator Apps can take advantage of the spatial audio and virtual recording studio environment. Any news and article Apps can add 3D contents.

What are other Apps that you really want and keen to see them being rebuilt into spatial? And what would be the advantages of having them in Spatial environment?

I love Calm! Yes, it fits. Apple demoed their Mindfulness with the 3d crystals, look amazing! I use Calm and its different themes: rainforest, beach, mountain. Imagine to bring those experience closer to you.

I believe most of the mainstream apps eventually will. Maybe except Instagram, they still refuse to make tablet apps.

Isn't Instagram under Meta? I would think they would build one for VR.

There's a Instagram Beta for the Meta Quest, but it's horrible and there's been no change for the longest.

“Will all movies be in 3D one day?”

Similar question.

Meta can’t even make their most popular software run on their hardware? That really says a lot about their strategy.

A refined software experience will make the device more attractive as a product but it won’t solve the fundamental problems presented by wearing a computer across your face.
