Media View
Computer LinkMedia View is a developer reference app designed to show developers how to build spatialized media viewing experiences using the Meta Spatial SDK.
One of the key use cases of mixed reality on Quest is the ability to take full advantage of the space around you for content, instead of being confined to a screen or monitor. Additionally, Quest devices excel at viewing media formats that might be difficult to fully enjoy on mobile or desktop, such as panoramic or 360 content.
Media Compatibility
Media View supports viewing standard photos and videos, 360° media, and panoramas.
Multi-Panel Viewing
Experience a fully-immersive environment by surrounding yourself with selections of your photos and videos in an immersive floating collage. View and interact with all media types simultaneously in a spatial environment, creating a dynamic and interactive experience that surrounds you in every direction.
Immersive Viewing
Toggle between viewing your media around you (with Multi-Panel Viewing) to fully immersing yourself in your space with individual photos or videos in “Immersive View”.
Current media types supported:
- Standard Photos & Videos
- 360 Photos & Videos
- Panoramas

Useless
Doesn’t even work.
Good for a tech demo, still needs polish
Considering this is a tech demo, I don't think we will see many updates to this app. It is fairly functional, but it did crash on me several times. I was mildly excited to see some OTOY stereo cubemaps in the samples (called "panoramas") but it does not display them properly unfortunately. Hint to a developer: take this code and get the stereo cubemap display working -- there are a lot of us OG VR users who have plenty of this image format around that the other image display apps don't support :-).
Works great on Quest 3
As a first-time user of a media viewer application, I must express my utmost satisfaction with the experience it provided. The convenience of accessing all my media content from a centralized location, coupled with the immersive viewing mode, made it an enjoyable and efficient way to engage with my media.
The user interface was particularly impressive, offering an intuitive and user-friendly design that enhanced the overall experience. I highly recommend this application to anyone seeking a seamless and immersive media viewing experience.
Needs Some Work, But it Has Potential
In the depreciation of Oculus Gallery we've been in a bad spot.
Quest hardware just gets better and better for viewing our personal panoramas and 3D/360° pictures and videos... but no matter whether you're doing it though the Files app or Meta Quest TV it's just not good. Files won't just let us swipe to the next picture when one is open and Meta Quest TV can't even show us directories/albums.
So all I had to see was the title of this app and I got excited. Only to find out it was ROUGH.
But even though it launched in a rough state I saw the potential for this filling the hole that Oculus Gallery left behind.
So I kept it installed and kept checking back... and I gotta say it's getting better fast.
It's already the best personal media viewer on Quest, but I wanna see it get better.
Navigation can be greatly simplified to where we don't have a whole new window pop up every time we open something, the immersive view button should be beside the navigation buttons, we should see cloud and NAS options greatly expanded, and we need to be able to see our items in terms of the directories they're in.
This app also has some stability problems. When this app crashes (which is frequently) it crashes in a way where I have to reboot my headset.
It needs some work, but this has the potential to be a killer app for those who are out here making 3D, 360° and panoramic memories.
useless garbage
this must be some Russian money laundering scam. It’s a pile of garbage.
One Place
I just want a simple one stop app to view, search and edit media, and then be able to delete the stuff I no longer want.
First try of this app caused my headset to reboot. But it's a start I guess just a way to go before it becomes a useful tool.
