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 is done using Unity. Please note that it is not compatible with other STYLY platforms, so those who have used the existing STYLY should be aware.

• Content created for STYLY for Vision Pro is not compatible with other STYLY platforms. The distribution system differs from STYLY VR and the STYLY Mobile App, and content created for one cannot be experienced on the other.
• Unlike the conventional STYLY, STYLY for Vision Pro does not provide a web-based content creation tool. Please use Unity to create content.
• The content gallery of the STYLY app is now based on a whitelist. Submission and review are required (form under preparation).
