Depthforge

Depthforge is an Apple Vision Pro app from Forward Thinkers Labs that generates AI images as immersive 3D spatial photos from simple text prompts. It is aimed at artists, designers and other creative users who want AI art with depth that can be placed in the room around them rather than flat pictures, and Forward Thinkers Labs built it exclusively for Vision Pro.

A user describes the desired scene in a text prompt, with help from a built-in prompt generator and an AI-enhanced prompt system, and Depthforge generates an image with depth in landscape or portrait orientation. Results are Apple Spatial Photos that save directly to the Photos app, and Depthforge keeps depth coherent as the viewer moves, so the images can be viewed across Apple devices.

On Vision Pro, Depthforge uses hand gesture controls, lets users position creations anywhere in their space and supports dynamic depth perception. Version 2.0 added Apple Spatial Photos support, including automatic conversion of existing Depthforge images to spatial photos, along with improved image management and library organization so creations are easy to find and open across devices.

Depthforge is free to download, with in-app purchases: a Basic plan of 50 Generations/Month for $4.99, a Pro plan of 150 Generations/Month for $9.99 and a Depthforge Topup for $1.99. It requires visionOS 2.0 or later on Apple Vision, is available in English and is rated 4+, and the developer states that no data is collected from the app.
