This post mainly elaborates on the definition of immersive video and the series of Apple immersive videos provided to its Vision Pro users. The details are below.
What Is Immersive Video?
Immersive videos are a kind of video intended to let their viewers feel like they are just inside the video-displayed environment. Viewers will have a lifelike perspective for their immersive video experience. Usually, immersive videos are used with VR (Virtual Reality) technology and viewers need to wear VR headsets to watch them.
Besides, immersive video solutions contain complex video editing software and platforms for the playback and delivery of immersive VR videos. These solutions make it possible for producers to distribute their videos across many hardware devices like VR headsets and mobile phones, which greatly improve the content spread.
While simulating the real world, immersive videos are actually artificial. However, you can still interact with things in the virtual realm in some immersive videos instead of simply being an observer.
Immersive videos can be uploaded to streaming platforms just like standard videos. According to the immersive video news, the new Apple immersive video series, films, concerts, and more are set to premiere on Apple Vision Pro has begin on July 18, 2024.
