Step in a 900-year-old almshouse on 🍎 Vision Pro.
Shot in 16K 90fps HDR on the URSA Cine Immersive, the same camera Apple uses for their Immersive Video on Vision Pro, we bring you the Lord Leycester Hospital @LordLeycester in Warwick, England.
The chapel was built in 1126. Almost 900 years ago. The rest of the complex dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, and in 1571 Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, turned it into a home for retired soldiers. It still operates that way today.
King James I was entertained here in 1617. It survived the Great Fire of Warwick in 1694. And now you can walk through it from your couch in Apple Immersive on Vision Pro, or VR180 on YouTube: youtu.be/-jMyg4SztoI
Watch the full immersive film on the Spatial Film app. Comment “AVP” for the link.
What historical site should we film next?
