Apple Vision Pro Unveils Multi-Streaming Support and Immersive 3D Movie Experience with 150+ Titles

As the highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro prepares to hit the market next month, Apple has unveiled a comprehensive lineup of supported streaming services for its inaugural mixed reality headset launch in the US. To enhance the user experience, Apple allows customers to access content from additional services through Safari. Boasting the capability to cater to diverse preferences, the Vision Pro headset enables users to indulge in both 2D and 3D movies, with an impressive library of over 150 titles available upon its launch.

Among the disclosed streaming services supported by Apple Vision Pro are industry giants such as Amazon Prime Video, Crunchyroll, Discovery+, Disney+, ESPN, Fubo, IMAX, MLB, MUBI, Max, NBA, PGA Tour, Paramount+, Peacock, Pluto TV, Red Bull TV, TikTok, and Tubi. These platforms offer users the flexibility to download and stream a wide array of TV shows, movies, or sports content based on their subscription preferences.

The immersive capabilities of the Apple Vision Pro extend beyond content consumption, as streaming applications can leverage the headset’s four distinct ‘environments.’ These environments include the El Capitan Theatre inspired by Disney+ Theater, the Scare Floor from Monster’s Inc, the cockpit of Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder, and a captivating view of downtown Manhattan from Marvel’s Avengers Tower. Apple’s strategic integration of popular franchises and diverse settings aims to elevate the entertainment experience for users exploring the potential of mixed reality.

Meanwhile, the Apple Vision Pro will allow you to view movies in 2D and 3D with Spatial Audio — customers will have access to 150 3D movies including Avatar: The Way of Water, Dune, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Other 3D movies will also be available to rent or buy via the Apple TV app, according to the company.

Scheduled to arrive in the US on February 2, the Apple Vision Pro is equipped with dual micro-OLED displays with a combined 23 million pixels. The headset is powered by the company’s M2 chip for CPU, GPU, and NPU tasks, while another, new M2 based chip called R1 handles streaming to the display. Apple’s headset is powered by an external battery pack that offers up to 2.5 hours of battery life.

The device has an eye-watering $3,499 (roughly Rs. 2.9 lakh) price tag, while customers who wear spectacles will have to shell out more for Zeiss optical inserts. The company is yet to provide a timeline for the launch of the Apple Vision Pro in other markets — including India, but more information could be made available in the coming months.
