Apple TV+ has announced more information about the immersive viewing experience that will be available to those who purchase the Apple Vision Pro, including a list of titles that will be available to users when the Vision Pro launches next month.
While Apple had previously confirmed that over 150 films will be available in 3D via Apple TV when the upcoming AR device launches, the new announcement pertains specifically to content that is shot in 3D 8K.
“Apple Immersive Video is a new entertainment format pioneered by Apple that transports viewers to the center of a story with 180-degree 3D 8K recordings captured with Spatial Audio,” reads Apple’s announcement.
Among the Immersive Video titles available at launch is Encounter Dinosaurs, which is referred to as a “free, interactive narrative experience” that was created in a partnership with acclaimed filmmaker Jon Favreau.

“Ever since Apple introduced me to this new technology, I’ve been intrigued with the opportunity to explore storytelling using these innovative immersive tools,” said Favreau. “I’m especially proud to be featured in the launch of this groundbreaking product.”
Per Apple’s announcement, the following are the Immersive Video titles that will be available at launch time for the Apple Vision Pro:
“Alicia Keys: Rehearsal Room”
“Alicia Keys: Rehearsal Room” is an intimate, short film that offers viewers a rare glimpse into the Grammy winner’s creative process, including a rehearsal session featuring renditions of her hits “No One,” “If I Ain’t Got You” and “You Don’t Know My Name.”
“Adventure”
Immerse yourself in the world of adventure like never before. Join pioneering athletes as they face extraordinary challenges in some of the world’s most spectacular locations. Hailing from Atlantic Productions and produced by Apple Immersive Video, the first episode, titled “Highlining,” will offer an escape into thin air with highliner Faith Dickey as she takes on her highest challenge yet: a daring traverse 3,000 feet above Norway’s breathtaking fjords.
“Wild Life”
Get up close and personal with some of the most charismatic creatures on the planet — and uncover what makes them unique with the experts who know them best. The first episode brings viewers into the world’s largest rhino sanctuary where a former police captain has dedicated her life to rescuing, raising and rewilding these gentle giants.
“Prehistoric Planet Immersive”
Inspired by the award-winning Apple Original docuseries from Favreau and the producers of Planet Earth, “Prehistoric Planet Immersive” is a new film that whisks viewers along a rugged ocean coast where a pterosaur colony settles in for an afternoon nap — one that proves to be anything but restful. Viewers will transport into the daily lives of dinosaurs, experiencing T-Rex teens crashing a quiet colony of pterosaurs on the beach until mama shows up to break up their party, and an intense battle between raptors and a pride of Triceratops in the forest.
In addition to new groundbreaking originals only available in the Apple TV app, Apple Vision Pro will offer interactive narrative experiences that dynamically respond to a users’ input. “Encounter Dinosaurs,” a free app created by Apple and Fairview Portals with executive producer Favreau, allows users to look back into a prehistoric time and interact with lifelike, 3D dinosaurs in Spatial Audio.
