Musician A.R. Rahman has launched a new visionOS app called the ARR Immersive App. Available on Apple Vision Pro, the new app delivers immersive storytelling and music experiences in spatial computing.
The app is available from today on the Apple App Store for Apple Vision Pro. It will be available on Meta Quest soon.
The ARR app features original content created exclusively for the platform, including three Kathak dance performances fused with Western classical compositions, Clair de Lune (rendered in immersive spatial audio for the first time), Rachmaninoff, and Fur Elise, performed by Pranith AP, Palak Chauhan, and Mudra IV, with choreography by Kathak dancer Shrita Baskar. The pieces pair some of the most recognizable compositions in the Western classical canon with Indian classical dance.
The app will feature exclusive immersive content from Le Musk, Rahman’s acclaimed 360-degree VR film that premiered at the Cannes XR Festival, re-edited specifically for Vision Pro’s centered viewing experience. New spatial audio mixes are created specifically for the app using Apple’s ASAF (Apple Spatial Audio Format), Apple’s proprietary format designed for Vision Pro to deliver three-dimensional, lifelike audio presence.
The app also has a dedicated section for Rahman Fan – The ARR Live, exclusively dedicated to Rahman’s concert pre and live recorded performances.
On the launch announcement A.R. Rahman said, “My journey with immersive storytelling began over a decade ago with Le Musk, exploring new languages of story through 3D, 360° VR, spatial experiences and scent. The ARR Immersive App was born from a desire to go further, where technology doesn’t replace emotion, but deepens it.”
