SpatialCut (smoovie) - spatial video editor

smoovie is spatial content editor platform that makes spatial content as smooth as a smoothie. smoovie supports spatial videos, spatial audio, spatial effects, volumes and can publish to any platform.

Inspiration

As videographers/editors with a combined nines years of experience, our passion for filmmaking and content creation runs deep. Life brims with moments and experiences that carve our stories. We love to capture these moments and experiences. Videos are one of the best ways of sharing these memories. Recently we have a paradigm shift in the content we consume. We are in the age of spatial computing, and spatial videos are the next big thing. We want to create an app that can publish Spatial videos across platforms. We are creating templates to let you edit and make video intuitively. Learning to code to edit videos is evil, and we don't want that, moreover we believe that the platforms will keep on developing and technology will evolve so an app that is platform agnostic and allows you to publish content to any platform has potential to be the next big thing. smoovie is a spatial content creation infrastructure that offers various content creation tools.

What it does

  • smoovie enables user content to be clipped, edited, and attached to make a clean video. (Intutive)
  • smoovie offers a no code editor tool that can access spatial video from iPhones or Apple Vision Pros and can be added to the editor. (No plugins)
  • Users to select apps and create a streamlined video that can be published over any platform that supports Spatial Content. (Platform - agnostic)
  • smoovie makes templates that you can use to make and publish your content on the go. (User-Friendly and accessible)

How we built it

  • We built this app native on Xcode 15 and Swift. We used Apple Vision Pro for testing our application.

  • The Flow: I want to share my spatial content → I will open the smoovie app → I will select a template to edit and trim my spatial videos → I will confirm the edited video and publish it on the supported spatial platform.

  • Technologies Explored: Meta Quest SDK (To make a Spatial Video Player), Unity Polyspatial (For adding custom 3D particle effects), Luma GenAI (For adding 3D content to Volumes)

(6 hours of sleep and caffeine rush is what made this possible)

Challenges we ran into

No support for editing spatial videos and publishing them is very limited, making our development slow and complicated.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We learned in depth about Spatial video encodings and how mv-hvec, hvec, sbs work.
  • We were able to make a Spatial content creation editing app in less that 2 days, we got validation from founders and the top XR creators, that was a huge win for us.

What we learned

Spatial content is the future and next wave of social media and content creation is going to be immersive. Working with XR is not a straightforward process. Even if you are using APIs for existing XR platforms, the tools can be temperamental, and debugging issues can be difficult with little insight into how the platform works.

What's next for smoovie - Spatial Editor

This project was initiated and completed entirely during the duration of this hackathon.
