Mobile deployment remains constrained by large assets, limited bandwidth, and fragmented toolchains. VV-Studio is introduced as a lightweight XR demonstrator for commodity Android phones that enables browsing of VV assets, AR anchoring, and touch-based playback control. A complementary 60-120 s micro-podcast is generated via a Python backend that aggregates real-time weather and news, synthesizes speech (TTS), and routes audio to a neutral ''broadcaster'' avatar. The contribution is a pragmatic, reproducible mobile pipeline that couples VV placement with automated audio briefings, establishing a baseline for immersive journalism and education. The paper details architecture and methods, situates the work within the literature on VV capture/streaming and AR interaction.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Human-centered computing → Mixed / augmented reality; Mobile computing; Information systems → Streaming mediaHuman centered computing → Mixed / augmented realityMobile computingInformation systems → Streaming media10.2312/egve.202513632 pages
