Leia Inc., the company best known for its lightfield displays and the popular LeiaPix platform, has launched a new consumer app called Immersity for Mobile, now available for free on iOS and Android. Using AI to transform flat photos into dynamic, shareable video clips, the app offers everyday users a simple way to create immersive media without any specialized hardware or editing experience.
Built on Leia’s proprietary Neural Depth Engine, the app analyzes still images and applies natural depth and simulated motion—pans, zooms, and parallax effects—resulting in short video reels that feel like the user has stepped into the scene. “Our goal was to create an app that’s easy to download, intuitive to use, and powerful enough to help anyone elevate everyday photos into emotionally engaging, dynamic content,” said David Fattal, founder and CTO of Leia Inc.
Users can upload up to five photos at a time and transform them into what Leia calls an “Immersity reel,” suitable for sharing across social platforms. A small watermark appears on the free version, which is monetized through lightweight ads shown during rendering.
The launch marks a major evolution for Leia’s consumer-facing efforts. Until recently, the company’s flagship web app, LeiaPix, had primarily catered to 3D artists and advanced XR users looking to convert stereoscopic or 2D content into 3D for use on specialized devices. But with Immersity, Leia is broadening its scope and rebranding its suite of offerings.
