DepthStudio
In development
2D-to-stereo conversion for headset spatial video. DepthStudio turns flat footage into stereo pairs for Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest and VR180, with checks for depth comfort and temporal stability built into the pipeline.
Who it's for
Music video directors preparing spatial releases, agencies and brands making immersive content, and artists who want depth in work that was shot flat. Studio-grade stereo conversion has traditionally needed a large team and budget. DepthStudio aims to make it practical for a single project.
How it works
Estimate depth
A video depth model builds a depth map for every frame, kept consistent over time so depth doesn't flicker or breathe within a shot.
Build the second eye
The second view is rendered from the original frame and its depth, with controls for how much depth each shot gets and where the screen plane sits.
Fill what the camera never saw
Shifting the view reveals areas hidden in the original frame. A generative fill model reconstructs those edges instead of smearing or stretching them.
Check every shot
Every shot is measured against a parallax budget for comfortable viewing and scanned for shimmer and edge artifacts. Problem shots are flagged for an artist to adjust.
Outputs
- Apple Vision Pro spatial video
- Meta Quest
- VR180
- Side-by-side and over-under stereo
Try it on your footage
DepthStudio is still in development. If you have a shot you’d like to see in stereo, send me a short clip and I’ll run it through the current pipeline.
