CineVerse - Virtual Cinema Experience

Transform any web video or local movie file into an immersive virtual cinema auditorium with ambient lighting.

🍿 Transform any video into an authentic virtual cinema experience. CineVerse brings the magic of the big screen directly to your browser. Watch your favorite streaming video streams, web media players, or local movie files inside an authentic, photorealistic virtual movie theater with dynamic ambient lighting. Zero servers, zero backend telemetry, 100% private and client-side. 🕶️ OPTIMIZED FOR AR GLASSES • Factory Calibrated: Default field of view, 43% eye-level height elevation, and 85% screen scale are calibrated out of the box for Micro-OLED AR glasses (such as Xreal Air 2 Pro). • The Ultimate AR Glasses Companion: Designed to pair seamlessly with AR smart glasses. Putting on your glasses transports you into a massive virtual cinema screen floating in mid-air, surrounded by authentic auditorium seating in your peripheral vision. 📺 DISPLAY RECOMMENDATIONS & "TRUE BLACKS" • Designed for True Blacks: CineVerse looks most breathtaking on displays capable of rendering true inky blacks (OLED, QD-OLED, Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED, and AR Micro-OLED panels). On these screens, the front-stage masking dissolves completely into pitch-black darkness, delivering infinite contrast. • Standard LCD / IPS Monitors: On edge-lit or lower-contrast LCD monitors with backlight glow or IPS bleed, ambient light bounce can sometimes illuminate panel artifacts. For these displays, CineVerse includes a dedicated Manual Darkness Calibration Slider and a "100% Dark" mode so you can dim the auditorium until the room seamlessly blends into deep black. ✨ KEY CINEMATIC FEATURES 🎬 Authentic Cinema Auditorium • Natural First-Person Perspective: Places you right in the center sweet spot of a grand movie theater. • OLED Front Wall Backdrop: Pitch-black front stage masking blankets background distractions, creating infinite contrast for the floating screen. • Real-Time Light Bounce: Real-time color sampling projects authentic light bleed onto velvet seats, aisle steps, and acoustic wall panels. 📐 Dual Screen Formats & Smart Letterbox Cropping • Curved CinemaScope (2.39:1): Automatically crops out hardcoded black letterbox bars found on widescreen movie trailers and films, expanding the picture edge-to-edge across the curved screen. • Flat (16:9 / Full Frame): Preserves 100% of the visible frame without cropping—ideal for standard 16:9 videos and expanded widescreen footage. 💡 Auditorium Ambience & Display Calibration • Screen Bleed (0% Dimmer): Maximum ambient light bounce with full auditorium illumination. • Aisle Glow (35% Dimmer): Warm floor sconces with subtle, cozy screen spill. • 100% Dark (90% Dimmer): Pure OLED black immersion for pitch-dark viewing. • Manual Darkness Calibration (0% - 100%): Smoothly dial in the exact auditorium brightness or darkness to match your room lighting and display panel. 📁 Built-in Offline & Local Movie Player • Drag & Drop Local Media: Drop any video file (.mp4, .mkv, .webm, .mov) directly into CineVerse. • Cinema Subtitles: Instant drag-and-drop .srt and .vtt caption support with cinema-grade typography. • 100% Private & Offline: Runs entirely locally in browser memory—no file size limits, no server uploads, zero network usage. 🎛️ In-Cinema HUD & Customization • Adjust Screen Size (35% → 95%) and Screen Height (20% → 65%) with live sliders. • Settings automatically save across browser sessions via Chrome Sync. ⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS • [Space] — Play / Pause passthrough • [F] — Toggle Fullscreen • [R] — Recenter Screen position & size • [C] — Toggle Curved (2.39:1) vs. Flat (16:9) screen format • [D] — Cycle Auditorium Ambience dimmer modes (Bleed → Aisle → Dark → Manual) • [A] — Open Audio Options & Multi-Track Manager • [Esc] — Exit Cinema mode • [Alt + T] (or [Option + T] on Mac) — Global Cinema Launch Shortcut 🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY CineVerse operates 100% client-side.
