With this partnership, Disney is going to provide Vision Pro users with exclusive 3D movie experiences.

Four immersive environments, including the Disney Plus Theater and Avengers Tower, will be available at launch, adding a new dimension to content consumption.
“At Disney, we’re constantly searching for new ways to entertain, inform, and inspire by combining exceptional creativity with groundbreaking technology to create truly remarkable experiences,” said Bob Iger, The Walt Disney Company’s CEO. “Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary platform that will bring our fans closer to the characters and stories they love while immersing them more deeply in all that Disney has to offer. We’re proud to once again be partnering with Apple to bring extraordinary new Disney experiences to people around the world.”
Boasting more pixels than a 4K TV for each eye, the Vision Pro features ultra-high-resolution micro-OLED displays, totaling an impressive 23 million pixels. Powered by the M2 chip, the device ensures power-efficient performance, with up to 2.5 hours of video playback and all-day use when connected to an external battery.
Running on the innovative VisionOS, the headset seamlessly integrates digital content with the user’s physical environment, creating an infinite canvas for apps, games, and spatial experiences. Users can customize their surroundings with Environments, dynamic scenes with realistic sounds that change according to the time of day.
The Vision Pro also introduces a new entertainment format, Apple Immersive Video, offering 180-degree 3D 8K recordings with Spatial Audio. This format immerses users in a variety of scenarios, from concert rehearsals to highlining adventures. Apple TV+ will feature original stories produced with Apple Immersive Video, enhancing the platform’s content library with immersive and interactive experiences.
