Apple TV+ has unveiled a sneak peek at a curated selection of immersive, first-of-its-kind original stories, produced with Apple Immersive Video, that will become available in the Apple TV app on Apple Vision Pro when it launches on February 2.
Apple Immersive Video is a new entertainment format pioneered by Apple that transports viewers to the center of a story with 180-degree 3D 8K recordings captured with spatial audio.
Apple Vision Pro, according to a company press release, will offer a curated selection of vivid original series and films with award-winning storytellers from Apple TV+.
The shows include ‘Prehistoric Planet Immersive’, a new short film and entertainment experience inspired by Jon Favreau’s acclaimed, award-winning Apple Original series ‘Prehistoric Planet’ that will transport viewers 70 million years in the past to put the viewer right in the middle of the action; and ‘Adventure’, a new series taking users to the most remote places on earth to stand beside extreme athletes as they take on awe-inspiring challenges, like highlining with pro Faith Dickey.
“Ever since Apple introduced me to this new technology, I’ve been intrigued with the opportunity to explore storytelling using these innovative immersive tools,” said executive producer and filmmaker Jon Favreau, “I’m especially proud to be featured in the launch of this ground-breaking product.”
Apple Vision Pro users can also access ‘Alicia Keys: Rehearsal Room’, an intimate short film offering a rare glimpse into the Grammy winner’s creative process, and ‘Wild Life’, a vibrant series that brings viewers up close and personal with some of the most charismatic creatures on the planet, available in the Apple TV app.
