Marvel's 'What If…? – An Immersive Story' to Come to Apple Vision Pro on May 30th

TapTechNews May 22nd news, Marvel and ILM Immersive announced earlier this month that the 'immersive story' based on the Disney+ animated series 'What If...?' will land on the Apple Vision Pro. Today, the official trailer and release date of this interactive work 'What If…? – An Immersive Story' have been announced, and it is set to go online on May 30th.

This application that combines augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) technologies will land on the Apple Vision Pro platform as an independent App on May 30th and will be free for a limited time.

Just as the trailer shows, a life-sized Observer will appear in your living room and ask for your help. You will travel through the Marvel multiverse, fight against variant characters from different universes, and learn various spells with the Sorcerer Supreme to find the Infinity Stones scattered everywhere.

Thanks to the clear 4K display and advanced camera system of the Apple Vision Pro, users will be able to fully immerse themselves in the world of the Marvel universe and witness the portal opening in your home and virtual characters appearing in the real space. In addition, the Marvel Studios and ILM Immersive special effects team will also make full use of the various functions of the Vision Pro to achieve the tracking of users' eyes and hands.

Judging from the trailer, the experience of this application is quite interesting. For Marvel fans who own the Apple Vision Pro, it is undoubtedly big news. As the first immersive interactive story of Disney+, 'What If…? – An Immersive Story' will not only contain characters, storylines and scenes from the animated series, but also introduce new content.

ILM Immersive said in a press release that 'What If…? – An Immersive Story' will take you on an extraordinary journey, 'Players will be placed in a breathtaking environment, shuttling between mixed reality and virtual reality, and entering the iconic locations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans will interact with the surrounding world through gestures and gazes, immerse themselves in the gorgeous visual effects and spatial audio, and save the fate of reality in the narrative adventure. All these breakthrough features will remind players that time, space and reality do not develop linearly.'

It is learned that the experience duration of this application will reach 1 hour, and there may be a certain degree of replayability. It seems to adopt the form of 'choose your own adventure', and players may experience different plot directions according to different choices, increasing the playability of the game.

The 'What If…? – An Immersive Story' produced by Marvel Studios will exclusively land on the Apple Vision Pro platform on May 30th. This application needs to be downloaded independently from Disney+. However, it should be noted that the Vision Pro itself costs $3500 (TapTechNews note: currently about 25340 RMB), so it still requires a considerable investment to experience this game.
