Immersity, formerly LeiaPix, adds depth and motion to photos and videos.
Depth is not equal to the finished model
Immersity continues the direction previously known as LeiaPix: adding depth and movement to ordinary visual material. Official Leia Inc. pages describe browser and mobile workflows, image and video conversion, stereo formats, and depth maps in the relevant plans. It is a spatial presentation tool, not a replacement for precise scene modeling.
For a photograph, the effect relies on estimated distances between parts of the image. A slight camera movement creates a sense of volume, even though the source contains no real information behind foreground objects. The result can be useful animation, but it is not an accurate reconstruction of an unseen surface.
Small amplitude gives more control
For an educational example, use your own room photo with a chair in the foreground and a window farther back. Start with subtle movement and assess the separation between depth layers. Inspect the chair edges, thin furniture legs and window opening. If edges stretch, reduce the movement or try a photo with clearer depth cues.
Strong movement does not suit every shot. Transparent glass, reflections and hair make boundaries difficult to estimate. For a project image, a restrained, readable effect is more useful than conspicuous distortion. Keep the original photo so you can distinguish real scene features from details introduced by processing.
Choosing an export
Decide where the result will be shown: a normal screen, a social video or a spatial-display device. That determines the format you need. A motion video and a depth-map file serve different purposes; access to one does not automatically mean every other export is available.
Free and paid access
The terms distinguish free conversions from paid image and video plans. The free mode explicitly limits exports and commercial use. Choose a plan for the result you need, checking watermark, resolution and rights. Check current allowances and prices before paying, since conditions differ between modes.

Terms
Free mode Immersity has restrictions on export and commercial use. Paid plans differ in the types of result, resolution and available conversions.From task to first result
Practical example
- Task
- Prepare a photo with a soft parallax effect
- What to prepare
- Your own room photo with foreground, middle-distance and background elements.
Task brief or prompt
Task: create a depth map and add subtle camera movement, then inspect furniture edges and areas revealed behind foreground objects.
Expected result
A depth-based animated image or a depth map in a supported export mode.
How to check the result
- Inspect hair, thin furniture legs and transparent objects.
- Reduce the motion if it reveals stretched edges or invented areas.
An editorial teaching example of a task brief, not the result of hands-on testing of the service. Check that the required mode is available, that you have rights to the source material and that the intended use of the result is permitted.
