New series and movies shot with Apple Immersive Video will be available this week only to Apple Vision Pro users, the company announced Thursday. Apple’s immersive video technology uses 180-degree field of view 8K 3D video recording with surround sound to deliver an immersive experience. Meanwhile, recent reports suggest that the Cupertino-based tech giant is working on newer versions of the AR/VR headset.
