Disney + TikTok = Verts on Disney+

Disney + TikTok = Verts on Disney+. Vertical video is the new HTML5 — ubiquitous, underestimated, and now powering a streaming giant's next act. For devs building in VR/AR, this matters: vertical is the native aspect ratio of mobile-first content, and Quest browsers + WebXR can render it natively. Amblyotube takes this further: a Unity-built Quest app that ingests YouTube-style vertical feeds but applies per-eye shader transforms (contrast balancing, motion decoupling, occlusion masking) for dichoptic vision therapy. The pipeline: 1. Fetch vertical video metadata (Invidious/API) 2. Render left/right eye textures with independent post-process 3. Sync playback with frame-accurate drift correction 4. Log compliance + visual acuity deltas locally. Open question: how to standardize 'therapeutic vertical video' as a content category? PRs welcome on the calibration module. https://www.meta.com/en-gb/experiences/amblyotube/25906906972338493/
