Nationwide Geographic is not any stranger to new media. The community has produced a slew of immersive digital actuality experiences, 360 diploma movies, and even its personal “House Projection Helmets” for its big-budget present One Unusual Rock. In the present day, it is lastly delivering its first immersive expertise for the Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional: A Disney+ surroundings that includes Iceland’s Thingvellir Nationwide Park. Now you possibly can sit again and watch The Avengers in 3D amid pristine white snow, towering rock formations and a transparent blue sky (or a star-filled on at night time). Alongside that movie, Disney+ can also be including 3D variations of The Age of Ultron and the primary two Ant-Man films at present.
Whereas standing in the course of a snow-filled park is not as adventurous as, say, rowing a kayak by means of Arctic waters in VR, the surroundings reveals that Nat Geo is not utterly ignoring the Imaginative and prescient Professional. Apple’s headset has sorely lacked really immersive experiences, exterior of the “Encounter Dinosaurs” demo it shipped with, in addition to Marvel’s What If…?
I am not holding my breath for a big-budget Nationwide Geographic expertise solely meant for the Imaginative and prescient Professional, but it surely’s not out of the realm of chance. Nat Geo may reconfigure a few of its present VR initiatives to work on the Imaginative and prescient Professional, and even adapt One Unusual Rock’s distinctive helmet projection view. (I might wager cash solely only a few folks ever noticed the footage in that type.)
