However, the Disney partnership takes the cake as the Walt Disney Company is the world leader in the entertainment industry. Bob Iger took the stage to announce the collaboration and demonstrate how Vision Pro will change the streaming experience from sports to movies. Disney+ streaming service owns content across various platforms – Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. Iger revealed that Vision Pro users can enjoy immersive content on these platforms with AR-based environments matching the movie being watched and more. Iger announced that the Walt Disney Company would be developing immersive entertainment experiences for Vision Pro, including new ways of watching sports. During Iger’s announcement, there was a sneak peek of the sports viewing experience on ESPN. The preview showed that the new Apple Vision Pro headset would show five different game streams at the same time. Users can use spatial computing gestures to toggle between them quickly. In case users focus on just one match, they can check multiple angles of the same game, including court-side views, detailed player stats, and other information about their favourite teams and league. Apple Vision Pro will also offer in-depth replays of favourite moments from a game. At this point, it’s yet to be known how much of this experience will be available on the launch day of Vision Pro next year. However, the future of streaming looks promising for Apple Vision Pro buyers.

In 2005, Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, made an announcement during an event, stating that a selection of their highly popular TV shows would be downloadable through the iTunes Music Store. During its yearly software developer conference, Apple Inc revealed a new product category, an augmented-reality headset called the Apple Vision Pro. This marks Apple's significant venture into a new product category for the first time since the introduction of the Apple Watch nearly a decade ago. Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, referred to it as "spatial computing," where the device is operated using your eyes, hands, and voice. According to Cook, the Apple Vision Pro is the first Apple product that you look through, rather than just looking at it. Apple stated that the Vision Pro is equipped with a three-dimensional camera and microphone system, enabling users to capture videos and photos that can later be viewed in 3D. The company demonstrated this capability by showcasing a parent using the feature during a child's birthday celebration. Apple indicated that the Vision Pro offers two hours of usage when paired with an external battery, which serves the purpose of reducing the weight burden on the user's head. Nevertheless, the device requires a connection to either a wall outlet or a battery pack and does not support standalone usage. 2) Disney Plus Coming to Apple Vision Pro on Day 1 Ans) Apple/Screenshot by CNET Apple's upcoming Vision Pro mixed-reality headset will feature Disney from the get-go, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced on Monday as part of the tech giant's Worldwide Developers Conference.
