I’d honestly be down to buy a VR headset if movies otherwise used them in some sort of universal format. Definitely not buying Samsung/Sony/Paramount/Meta VR bullshit though.
Yeah it would be nice to get Movies Anywhere or something fully on board. All the movie studios are sitting on 3D movies already, they just need to make the app(s).
It sorta partially is. On Apple’s movie store you get the 3D version with the HD/4K version. So if your movies anywhere unlocks the HD/4K it should unlock the 3D too. As long as the publisher has put the 3D version up there. And many did as a result of the Vision Pro.
I have a bunch of 3D movies available on my Vision Pro, and I’ve never specifically bought one in 3D. Many came from digital codes.
Apple has the largest collection of 3D movies right now.
The thing is, new content with proper 3D isn’t being made much these days. I’d estimate Apple has the bulk of what exists available already.
I think I’d like more engagement though to really commit. Be able to turn my head and see more of the scene. Stand up and view a slightly different angle.
All of the tech exists to make this possible, I just don’t know if filmmaking can work that into the mix.
There’s an app I got for Plex for my Meta Quest 3 and I gotta say that it is top notch. They have a bunch of settings for how you’d like your environment to look like but I prefer the one that makes you feel you’re at the movies and it really does feel that way.
Not sure if that’s what you were getting at or not but I enjoy it when I’m out and about instead of using my iPad or iPhone.
Downside is that you need to sideload this which requires a Meta developer account (free, just unnecessary hassle) as far as I know. Other is that it requires Plex and not the native Netflix/etc. app. Though YouTube has a similar format in their official app.

Edit: where am I wrong here?
