STYLY for Vision Pro Content Production Manual

Overview of STYLY for Vision Pro

STYLY for Vision Pro is an application that allows you to create and distribute MR content on Apple Vision Pro. Content creation uses Unity. It is not compatible with other devices’ STYLY, so please be careful if you are using the previous STYLY.

  • Content for STYLY for Vision Pro is not compatible with other platforms’ STYLY. The distribution system differs from STYLY VR and STYLY Mobile App, and created content cannot be experienced on the other.
  • STYLY for Vision Pro does not have the web-based content creation tools like the conventional STYLY. Please use Unity for content creation.
  • The content gallery of the STYLY app is now whitelist-based, with an application and review system (form under preparation).
  • Created content will be made public. If you want to keep the content private, do not upload it.

To upload content from Unity to STYLY for Vision Pro, please use the STYLY Spatial Layer Plugin for Vision Pro.
