Apple has taken a significant step into the realm of immersive entertainment by releasing its inaugural sports film shot entirely in Immersive Video format.
This cutting-edge technology offers Vision Pro users an unparalleled 180-degree 3D video experience, complemented by Spatial Audio, bringing viewers closer to the action than ever before.
The film is available for free in the TV app, exclusively for Apple Vision Pro owners.
This pioneering short film showcases the highlights from the 2023 Major League Soccer Cup playoffs, featuring intense moments from the games of defending champions Columbus Crew and their competitors, LAFC.
The narration is provided by MLS Season Pass broadcasters Taylor Twellman and Jake Zivin, adding expert commentary to the thrilling visuals.
The addition of this sports film expands the Immersive Video content repertoire within the app, joining the ranks of ‘Adventure’ and ‘Wildlife’ documentaries already available to Apple Vision Pro users.
Currently, the platform houses five pieces of Immersive Video content, all of which are relatively short in duration. This release hints at the potential for a broader Immersive Video content pipeline, suggesting that Apple may be in the process of developing more extensive series and films in this immersive format.
Launched exclusively in the United States in February, the Apple Vision Pro is set to broaden its market reach, with plans to make the device available in other countries later this year.
As Apple continues to innovate in the realm of immersive entertainment, the Vision Pro stands as an exceptional and engaging experiences to its users.
