LALÒ Immersive brings the Filipino-American LALÒ Ensemble to Apple Vision Pro, placing you inside choral performances through Apple Immersive Video, Spatial Audio, 4K video, and recreated 3D concert spaces.
Experience the warmth, depth, and movement of live choral music from the best seat in the house, or from within the ensemble itself. Watch performances recorded in real venues, explore the spaces where the music was sung through Venue Tour, and listen inside these spaces with the new Listen Mode.
LALÒ Immersive features a growing library of performances, including MISYON, Sea to Shining Sea, Panunulúyan, Immersive Choral Experience, behind-the-scenes rehearsals, and more.
The app also includes a refreshed UI designed for Apple Vision Pro, making it easier to move between shows, music, immersive spaces, venue tours, notes, photos, and bonus content.

Created by Paolo Villanueva
LALÒ Immersive was created by Paolo Villanueva, a creative technologist, musician, and designer working at the intersection of liberal arts and technology. Designed and developed specifically for Apple Vision Pro, the app brings together choral music, Filipino-American storytelling, spatial audio, immersive video, and real venue recreation to let LALÒ travel beyond the concert hall.

LALO Immersive is a beautiful and powerful Apple Vision Pro experience. The immersive video work is exceptional, and it makes the performance feel personal and present in a way that normal video cannot. I loved seeing the Philippine choral group brought into spatial video with such care and respect. Paolo and the team are doing meaningful work, and I am excited to see how they continue to use immersive video to share culture, music, and human stories!
Beautiful Music Experience
Augmenos
A fantastic way to discover Filipino-American choir. The music itself is beautiful, and listening within the church environment is moving. The details are on the level of Apple’s environments. A great cultural journey on Apple Vision Pro!Update: 3D video will not play, just shows logo video. An area to improve, but the 2D videos were flawless and super cool with the reflection on the marble floor!
A quiet, focused space
NinetySixK
This is a pretty niche app, but in a good way.What I appreciated most is how it tries to recreate the feeling of sitting in a church, listening to a choir. With spatial audio and video, it comes surprisingly close.The whole thing feels considered. The content and the app seem built around the same intention, which makes using it feel more like entering a space than browsing through stuff.Would be interesting to one day hear about how it was made, like the process of pulling everything together.
