Trapcode Immersive uses the magnetometer (digital compass) and the accelerometer to figure out how the device is held and then renders a corresponding view from a panorama. It is like a window to another world in your hands!

The app contains seven panoramas of different landscapes. One idea we have for future versions is to enable loading a panorama from the photo library on the device (if there is interest in such a feature). Other possible uses could be for previewing a hotel reservation, real estate or whenever an immersive view of an environment is needed.

Since the app needs a compass it works with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad (runs as an iPhone app).
