Apple Vision Pro Unveils Immersive Video Content
Apple has announced that its Vision Pro headset will now support new immersive video content, exclusively available to users starting this week. The company’s immersive video technology uses 180-degree field of view 8K 3D video recording paired with spatial audio to deliver an immersive experience.
The new content will be accessible to Apple Vision Pro users in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, France, Germany, Japan, and Singapore through the Apple TV app, while users in China will be able to access it through the Migu Video and Tencent Video apps. The headset is not currently available for purchase in India, and it is unclear whether users who have purchased it from other countries will have access to the new content via the Apple TV app.
The new immersive videos available to Apple Vision Pro users include the film Submerged, the first short film scripted for the medium, set to release this fall. The film is written and directed by Academy Award winner Edward Berger and is set during World War II.
Other new immersive video content includes an immersive short film on the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis featuring the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge with Sabrina Ionescu and Stephen Curry. Abel Tesfaye, also known as The Weeknd, will release an unspecified “immersive experience” exclusively for the platform later this year, which could be a music video or a concert performance.
Additional new content includes Red Bull: Big-Wave Surfing, which will allow users to experience surfing like professionals; ‘Elevated,’ an aerial travel series; and newer episodes of Boundless and Wild Life, an immersive wild-life documentary and a series that helps users virtually tour exotic landscapes around the world.
