Over 150 3D Movies and Spatial Games Coming to Apple Vision Pro

didn't the latest wave of 3d movies die out?

I guess Avatar 2 came and did well again. But feels like the wave that the original Avatar brought in died out and Avatar 2 didn't start a new craze.
 
If Beyoncé drops the Renaissance visuals on this...
I'd go from waiting for 2nd or 3rd gen to trying to purchase a 1st gen device asap. lol

Also, it would be neat if Apple Music's Super Bowl's were recorded in Spatial (and other special events) for the platform.

For me it always equates to motion sickness, hence i was never a fan to 3D TV and wearing those dodgy glasses, neither I am fan of wearing a fancy vr helmet.
 
I just don’t see my use case for this. Certainly not at the price which is beyond mere experimentation for me and well in to major expenditure territory.

I currently have an Oculus Rift and a PiMax5k so hopefully this is signify a revival in interest in 3D content at least.

Seeing the film in Dolby Cinema makes me want to see it on a 100 ft screen in the VP.

Apple's return policy is almost exactly the same everywhere: 14 days window, no question asked. There is no indication so far that it would be different for Vision Pro

People will say that nowadays the iPhone is boring today yet still oppose from the beginning any attempt to innovate. Why don't you give a chance to VR/AR?

28 day return window for iPhone and laptops in Japan. Plus an extra 28 days leeway for the device to get back to apple after placing your return request. So anywhere up to 8 weeks in Japan.

3D adds nothing of value to the movie and TV experience. That’s why it fails over and over again.

And “150 3D movies and games”?! That’s all they could muster at launch? Stunningly low number for a product they envision as a flagship.

The first iPhone was a brick. They peaked at the iPhone 4/4s and the iPhone 6/6s. The iWatch has always been mediocre, largely due to the poor battery life that has always plagued it. The iPad peaked before they started to put the camera warts on the back.

The iPhone 2 was pretty good; but I think the real peak was the iPhone 9.

Man, I really hope the U2 3D movie from 2008 becomes available on the AVP. It would also really be awesome if U2 records it's current show at the Sphere in Las Vegas for it!! 🤞🤞

I remember watching that in an IMAX. It blew my mind. Felt like being at a show and hovering over the stage in a drone. If they released that movie, I think I would seriously consider getting the VP.

I loved the first Avatar movie, but the Way of Water killed any interest I had in the franchise. Definitely will not be paying to see the third installment in theaters.

A friend said that was the most amazing concert he had ever been to visually. Just beyond amazing.

I saw it on Dec 13. I posted a couple of 360° videos on YT, just the first two songs and the last three. Seeing it again on Jan 31, but would love to be able to re-live the experience whenever on the AVP! Also would love for people who didn't get to see it live to be able to see it in VR.

3D movies don't really do anything for me, but I'm really looking forward to being able to virtually attend concerts, sporting events, and other real life places and events shot with 360° VR video.
 
Super fruit ninja eh. That’s the best they can do for 3d immersive gaming? I guess it is.

Looking back, yes, they both were. Butterfly keyboard Mac? From the first day, no, wrong was my view and I was right. I can't be right all the time though when it comes to Apple, eventually I will get it wrong.

No, the first iPhone, released in June 2007, wasn't good. It was $500 + a two year contract with AT&T for the low end 4GB version, which stayed on the market for 3 months. It was supported until August 11, 2010 for iOS 3 (but it was a paid upgrade, not free). It also didn't have standard features like copy and paste, and an App Store. The iPhone didn't hit its stride until the 3rd revision, the iPhone 4.

The Apple Watch followed the same path as the iPhone, except it didn't hit its stride until the 4th version, the Apple Watch Series 3.
