First movie will be "The Fifth Element". It's a fun movie and the version from Apple TV is simply gorgeous with Dolby Vision. Sound is Atmos. There is some grain with certain scenes, but that's how the movie was made. Excited to see this on a 100 foot screen.

Will any movies be designed to take advantage of the vision pro? Like some real AVP 3D effect and not the lame 3D red/blue glasses stuff?

The only movies I could think of that could be done that way are the 3D animation movies. But I doubt anyone is going to go back and re-cut those to make the elements somehow truly work in an AVP 3D space.

So at best, we get to see how well the fake blow up size feels (don't get me wrong, that could be hugely entertaining and be cinema replacement if it works well enough).

But from what I read, the 3d movies shot on the AVP (or the iPhone 15 pro in goggles record mode) have a very different feeling in how you can move around and experience them.

I dont think any existing media will have that effect. But I'd like to be wrong if some will and will specifically have that Real Memory AVP 3D effect type of movies? My guess is that will only be available with games and demo videos and not any actual movies from the studios.

It's not 3D, and assuming the DAZN app is available, I'm going to watch the SuperBowl as big as I can make it.

(and I'm secretly hoping Apple does something spectacular, like last-minute announce they've made the game available in full immersion).
Hell yeah, they bought seats on the 50 yard line with 3d camera setup.

What a great movie, I second this.

What about streaming from CriterionChannel.com in a web browser? That should work, no?
I do not believe their app is compatible with the Vision Pro.

I keep opening this thread expecting someone to post something about porn.
Someone posted on another thread a reminder that the Vision Pro has two downward cameras dedicated to tracking the movements of your right hand. And therefore, porn appreciation may not be the selling point use case for this device that some of you think it will be… I would think all the rapid accidental scrolling might get distracting 🤣

There is either an easy shut off for that or mine is going back.

Meta/Oculus made a couple of lightly-interactive realtime 3D animated shorts. There have been others as well, but no full length movies.
But from what I read, the 3d movies shot on the AVP (or the iPhone 15 pro in goggles record mode) have a very different feeling in how you can move around and experience them.
Nope, the videos shot on AVP or the iPhone 15 Pro are just standard stereoscopic videos, like 3D movies.
