Starting today, new Apple Immersive Video content premieres on Apple Vision Pro.
Starting this week, Apple is releasing all-new series and films captured in Apple Immersive Video that will debut exclusively on Apple Vision Pro. Apple Immersive Video is a remarkable storytelling format that leverages 3D video recorded in 8K with a 180-degree field of view and Spatial Audio to transport viewers to the centre of the action.
Boundless, a new series that invites viewers to experience once-in-a-lifetime trips from wherever they are, premieres at 9 a.m. SGT today, July 19, with "Hot Air Balloons" and will soon be available globally. The next instalment of Wild Life, the nature documentary series that brings viewers up close to some of the most charismatic creatures on the planet and Elevated, an aerial travel series that whisks viewers around iconic vistas from staggering heights, will launch later this year.
Later this year, users can enjoy special performances featuring the world's biggest artists, starting with an immersive experience from The Weeknd; the first scripted Apple Immersive short film, Submerged, written and directed by Academy Award winner Edward Berger; a behind-the-scenes and on-the-court view of the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend; and Big-Wave Surfing, the first instalment of a new sports series with Red Bull.
"Apple Immersive Video is a groundbreaking leap forward for storytelling, offering Apple Vision Pro users remarkable experiences with an unparalleled sense of realism and immersion," said Tor Myhren, Apple's vice president of Marketing Communications. "From soaring over volcanoes in Hawaii and surfing huge waves in Tahiti, to enjoying performances by the world's biggest artists and athletes from all-new perspectives, Apple Immersive Video revolutionises the way people experience places, stories, sports, and more by making viewers feel like they're truly there. It's the next generation of visual storytelling, and we're excited to bring it to more people around the world."

Boundless

With Boundless, viewers embark on the trips they've only dreamed of as they meet inspiring people in extraordinary places. In "Hot Air Balloons," viewers take to the skies over the otherworldly landscape of Cappadocia, Türkiye. In the next episode, "Arctic Surfing," available later this year, viewers can flow with a group of intrepid surfers who have moved to a frigid region north of the Arctic Circle in search of wintry waves.

Wild Life

Apple releases the second episode of Wild Life, which takes viewers to Kenya's Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where orphaned elephants find their footing in the care of their keepers, frolic in frothy mud baths, and form a chosen family with each other, their human companions, and the wild elephants that roam the lands beyond. Later this year, viewers will brave the deep with a bold group of divers in the Bahamas, who come face-to-face with apex predators and discover creatures much more complex than often portrayed.
The next episode of Wild Life, "Elephants," premieres later this year.

Elevated

In the inaugural episode of Elevated, an aerial travel series, viewers will fly above volcanoes, climb up and over waterfalls, and discover untold natural wonders across the world's longest island chain, Hawaii. In the next episode, available later this year, viewers will experience a crisp autumn in New England, with a stunning journey along winding coastlines and above breathtakingly beautiful rivers.
The first episode of Elevated, "Hawaii," will debut later this year.

Submerged

Submerged, the first scripted short film captured in Apple Immersive Video, will premiere later this year. Set during World War II, the action-adventure story brings viewers aboard a submarine as the vessel's sailors struggle to survive a deadly torpedo attack. Written and directed by Academy Award winner Edward Berger, Submerged showcases the unique storytelling capabilities that are only possible with Apple Immersive Video on Apple Vision Pro.
Submerged, the first scripted film captured in Apple Immersive Video, premieres this fall.

2024 NBA All-Star Weekend

Later this year, basketball fans will enjoy a unique perspective of the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis with an immersive short film that features the Rising Stars, the Slam Dunk contest, the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge with Sabrina Ionescu and Stephen Curry, and the All-Star Game.
