Apple’s highly anticipated mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, will come pre-loaded with over 150 3D movies and offer compatibility with popular streaming apps when it launches on February 2nd.
The tech giant revealed that the Vision Pro will provide access to 3D versions of recent blockbusters such as “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Dune,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” and “Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse” among dozens of other titles.
Additionally, streaming platforms like Disney+ are working on exclusively releasing new 3D content optimized for the headset. This includes films, series, and Disney+ originals yet to be announced.
The Vision Pro is designed to convert any environment into a personal, cinematic experience using micro-OLED displays and Apple’s new Immersive Video format that supports 8K 3D video with spatial audio.
For travel usage, Apple has introduced a ‘Travel Mode’ to stabilize visuals during air travel. The headset can also be shared with others using the ‘Guest User’ feature granting access to select apps.
Apple claims over 2 hours of battery life and 2.5 hours of continuous video playback on a full charge. The headset can also be powered externally through a USB-C cable.
Pre-orders for the Vision Pro open on January 19th starting at $2,999. Apple is emphasizing optimization with over 1 million iOS and iPadOS apps at launch.
With 3D versions of popular films, travel mode, guest access, and mainstream streaming apps onboard, Apple’s Vision Pro aims to deliver unmatched mixed reality experiences in a slick package when it hits stores next month.
