Apple’s First 3D Vision Pro Video After 2 Months Sparks Curiosity, Users Want More

Apple released a new 3D Vision Pro video on 28 March, the first update in 2 months. This short video showcases last year’s Major League Soccer (MLS) playoffs highlights, making it the first sports content for the Vision Pro headset. Designed for the platform’s Immersive Video format, the 5-minute video will be available for free to all Vision Pro users.

The Vision Pro kicked off with 3 captivating series: Adventure, Prehistoric Planet, and Wildlife, each starting with their first episode. But nearly 2 months had passed since those debuts, and no new episodes had appeared. The only new piece since then was a brief performance video by Alicia Keyes, which you’ll find in a small section of the TV app.

The Vision Pro is praised for its marvelous quality for playing 2D movies and videos well. Its 3D video feature also looks promising, thanks to Apple’s first batch of 3D content. However, people are still waiting for more new episodes to come out.

Apple calls the Vision Pro a “spatial computing” device instead of a VR headset because it does more than typical VR headsets. But for watching videos and movies, it’s not yet as good as its rivals, such as the Oculus Quest series.

In an email to The Verge, Apple revealed that the Vision Pro will soon enhance its gaming lineup with new Apple Arcade games designed to utilize its “spatial” capabilities.

Demand for more content, especially new episodes of the initial series and broader 3D internet video support, remains high. Apple needs to make an app for playing 3D videos from the internet on the Vision Pro. While some 3D video apps are on the visionOS App Store, there are fewer than you’d find for other headsets.
