Nat Geo’s first Imaginative and prescient Professional immersive surroundings takes you to Iceland

Nationwide Geographic isn’t any stranger to new media. The community has produced a slew of immersive virtual reality experiences, 360 degree videos, and even its own “Space Projection Helmets” for its big-budget present One Unusual Rock. Immediately, 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’ll be able to 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 evening). Alongside that movie, Disney+ can also be including 3D variations of The Age of Ultron and the primary two Ant-Man motion pictures at the moment.

Whereas standing in the midst 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 fully ignoring the Imaginative and prescient Professional. Apple’s headset has sorely lacked actually immersive experiences, outdoors 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 risk. Nat Geo may reconfigure a few of its current VR tasks 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.)
