Disney Shares Trailer for Immersive Vision Pro Marvel Story

[MacRumors]

Disney today shared a trailer for the hour-long interactive and immersive Disney+ Marvel story that is set to come to the Vision Pro on Thursday, May 30.

The Disney+ original from Marvel Studios is connected to the "What If...?" animated series and it will be released as a standalone app for the Vision Pro.

What If... You Were Chosen? Step into the Multiverse and harness the power of the Infinity Stones in this reality-bending story from Marvel Studios, ILM Immersive, and Disney+.

The Multiverse is in danger and The Watcher needs your help. Dangerous variants are hunting Infinity Stones and altering the fate of not only their realities, but yours as well. To save the fate of the Multiverse, you'll need to use your own hands to learn mystic spells, defend your allies in epic battles, and more. But, be careful... everything might not be all that it seems.

What If...? reimagines events from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in unexpected ways, and on the Vision Pro, fans will be able to step into the lead role of an immersive story that transforms the space around them.

There are multiversal variants of key Marvel characters, chances to learn mystic arts, and an opportunity to harness the power of the Infinity Stones. Marvel says that users will "cross between augmented and virtual reality" while going through the narrative adventure, interacting with the world using their hands and eyes.

The What If...? experience features new and iconic "breathtaking environments" from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with impressive visuals and support for spatial audio.

The Vision Pro immersive story is set to come out on Thursday, May 30.

I was hoping the trailer would be in immersive video.

But May 30 is not very far away.

For a game made for a $3500 headset.

Just move your face really close to the screen 🙃

Nooooooow this looks pretty cool. Would I spend $3500 to experience this? HEEEEEEEEEELL NO, Tim Cook can suck it. But this definitely looks very cool.

I certainly wouldn't spend $3500 to experience this. Just add it to the pile of things you can do. And put the price on the other side of the scale, in the pile with "it's heavy" and "I don't want something on my face".

As more content gets added and more capabilities are added the positive side will gain more weight. The other side stays mostly the same. Apple could reduce the price and hit the balance for some people. Some things that could add weight to the negative side are "It's been a while and there's probably a better version coming soon" and "Apple isn't really promoting this, are they going to cancel it?"

Hour long game lol.

Yep, it’s confirmed: for $3,500 this will be the only thing you can do with the AVP.

Even the other stuff you can do with it, doesn't justify the $3500 price, sorry.

Not a bad idea actually.

 

[Kylo83]

No one is paying 3500 for the headset

 

[charlesdayton]

Marvel is just a shadow of its former self.

It’s never the same without actors like Robert Downy Jr. and Scarlett Johansson.

No one is paying 3500 for the headset

Yes. People are. It’s not for everyone a there’s nothing wrong with that.

 

[porkchop967]

Never bought the original iPhone or the 3G but I did pull the trigger on the 3Gs. I plan the same for the headset.

 

[Surf Monkey]

Yay! Cartoons! For kids! The future of computing!

Actors aren’t the problem. Other actors can do just as good a job as those two and the other Marvel personalities. The issue with current Marvel is that they can’t plot their way out of a wet paper bag. Their flicks are all designed by committee and written by an AI. You can have the best actors in the world but if the story sucks the film will suck.

It‘s also very good at making my wallet lighter.

 

[nfl46]

You’re right. We’re paying $3,500 plus tax.

 

[nfl46]

It‘s also very good at making my wallet lighter.

That’s why it’s important to know what you can afford without it affecting your other bills and necessities. All is well over here.

 

[nfl46]

I respect that.

 

[topdrawer]

that looks so awful. lol.

 

[citysnaps]

Yes. People are. It’s not for everyone a there’s nothing wrong with that.

Spot on. It's for people with healthy imaginations.
