history
Project history and usage
Spatial is a free macOS command-line tool by Mike Swanson for processing Apple MV-HEVC spatial videos and spatial photos.
Project history
The tool appeared in the Apple Vision Pro and iPhone spatial-video moment, when MV-HEVC files needed practical conversion paths into stereoscopic formats that ordinary video editors and 3D players could handle. Its official page describes it as Mac-only because it depends on Apple frameworks for MV-HEVC encoding, decoding, and spatial-photo handling.
Adoption history
Its package-manager footprint is intentionally small: the project page documents Homebrew installation, and the input package facts show it is distributed as a Homebrew cask named spatial.
How it is used
Spatial is used from the terminal to inspect, export, make, combine, and modify metadata for spatial video files. Typical usage includes exporting MV-HEVC captures to over-under or side-by-side formats, or making MV-HEVC spatial video from stereoscopic source material.
Why package nerds care
For package-manager users, Spatial is a good example of a niche macOS-only media utility whose dependency on platform frameworks makes Homebrew cask distribution more natural than a portable Unix formula.
