Apple reveals new Immersive Video content coming soon to Vision Pro

Apple has announced its plans to release new Immersive Video content to Apple Vision Pro this year. The rollout will begin this week, with a new series called “Boundless” premiering for Apple Vision Pro users at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET this evening.

Apple says that “Boundless” will let viewers “experience once-in-a-lifetime trips from wherever they are” thanks to the Immersive Video experience on Vision Pro.

In August, Apple will release the next installment of its Wild Life nature documentary series on Vision Pro. In September, the company says it will release “Elevated,” a new aerial travel series that “whisks viewers around iconic vistas from staggering heights.”

Apple also teases a broad lineup of other Immersive Video content coming to Apple Vision Pro “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.
