The app launched with Apple Vision Pro, and had four environments to start:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Disney+ Theater:<\/strong> inspired by the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tatooine:<\/strong> sits you in the cockpit of Luke Skywalker\u2019s landspeeder, facing a binary sunset on the Star Wars planet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avengers Tower:<\/strong> puts you on the top floor of Tony&#8217;s Stark&#8217;s skyscraper, overlooking downtown Manhattan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scare Floor:<\/strong> from Pixar\u2019s Monsters Inc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And a year ago, around six months after launch, the app also added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uploadvr.com\/disney-plus-nat-geo-apple-vision-pro-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an Iceland environment<\/a>, based on Thingvellir National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage site), developed in collaboration with National Geographic.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Alien: Earth panoramas, available on the web.<\/p>\n<p>Vision Pro owners can also view immersive panorama images of the USCSS Maginot&#8217;s Containment Room, Galley, and Mech Corridors at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxnetworks.com\/shows\/alien-earth\/immersive-content?ref=uploadvr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this URL<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These panoramas are technically also available for other headsets, via WebXR, but on Quest and Pico I found they just displayed as very wide but small and flat images, not as immersive curved panoramas. This seems like either an oversight or just lazy implementation.<\/p>\n<p>On Apple Vision Pro, the URL also includes a series of 3D spatial photos of key characters from Alien: Earth, and Alien: Earth &#8211; The Official Podcast is also offered in 3D spatial video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Disney+ app on visionOS now has an Alien: Earth environment.
