Radioplayer launches app for Apple Vision Pro virtual reality headset


Following the debut of Apple’s Vision Pro virtual reality headset last Friday, Radioplayer announced the availability of its app specifically designed to leverage the capabilities of the spatial computing platform.

Launching in Canada, the U.K., France and Germany, Radioplayer’s new app “goes beyond a simple adaptation of its popular mobile iOS app” and “introduces a virtual radio device that users can place within their own reality, enhancing the immersive experience of listening to their favorite radio stations,” says a press release.

“At Radiodays Europe in Munich this March, we unveiled our new technology and product platform for cars and connected devices,” O.J. Torvmark, head of product at Radioplayer, said in a statement. “Launching our app today alongside Apple’s Vision Pro demonstrates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of radio technology. This integration allows us to offer a unique, spatial radio experience that transforms how users interact with audio content.”

“By embracing Apple Vision Pro, we’re ensuring that radio remains central to the future of digital experiences,” said Yann Legarson, CEO of Radioplayer. “Our goal is to make radio accessible everywhere, enriching listener engagement and setting new standards in radio innovation.”

A technology company owned by broadcasters in 23 countries, Radioplayer brings together nearly 10,000 radio stations globally. Radioplayer Canada is managed by Cartt.ca owner Momentum Media, on behalf of the consortium of participating radio broadcasters in Canada, including Pattison Media, Corus, CBC/Radio-Canada, Bayshore Broadcasting, Blackburn Radio and Rogers Media, among others.
