In a groundbreaking collaboration, Apple and Disney have announced the integration of 3D content from Disney Plus into the highly anticipated Vision Pro. This move marks a significant leap in immersive entertainment, with a lineup that includes ESPN, MLB, PGA Tour, and major streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Paramount Plus.
Notably, the Vision Pro experience will encompass animated screening environments, with Disney Plus subscribers enjoying exclusive settings inspired by Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre, Pixar's Monsters, Inc., Marvel Avengers' Avengers Tower, and the iconic landspeeder cockpit in Star Wars' Tatooine desert.
While Netflix is absent from the list of supported apps, Apple assures users that the existing app will seamlessly function on the new headset. Vision Pro owners can anticipate a stellar lineup of 3D movies, including Avatar: The Way of Water, Avengers: Endgame, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Encanto. These titles will be available for rent through the Apple TV app, with existing movie owners receiving 3D versions at no extra cost.
Disney Plus subscribers are in for a treat, with the inclusion of special 3D versions of exclusive content. The announcement hints at more titles being unveiled at a later date, promising a continuous expansion of the 3D content library.
The Apple TV app will not only host Disney Plus but also offer free immersive entertainment, featuring captivating experiences like Alicia Keys: Rehearsal Room and Prehistoric Planet Immersive, a production from Planet Earth producers.
While Hollywood has long pursued the dream of making 3D a household norm, the Vision Pro aims to redefine the narrative, transcending the limitations of clunky glasses and stereoscopic screens. Although the widespread adoption of pricey headsets may take time, Vision Pro sets the stage for a cinematic revolution, offering a glimpse into the future of immersive entertainment.
