Apple Vision Pro has been one of the most hyped-up tech products since last year. Talking about the facts, it is meant to revolutionize the entertainment experience. Apple is advertising it as your personal entertainment system, and while this isn’t wrong, it does take away the communal aspect of the whole experience—the joy of watching or doing things together.
Now, discussing the technical aspect of the tech, it required a different app, which some companies attempted to develop, but Apple was negligent in providing any compensation. Consequently, a company like Netflix chose not to make a dedicated app and opted to use the iPad app instead, which was a strategic choice.
However, as things are turning out, Disney is capitalizing on this opportunity. If you think making an app requires dedication, they are going a step further by bringing a new show that is definitely one of a kind.
“What If” has already gained major popularity among fans, and now, as they are trying to make an interactive version, it will definitely be a good addition to the franchise. “What If…? An Immersive Story” will bring an interactive nature that can put something like the Vision Pro on the entertainment map.
Now, consider that the price of the product is sky-high and that there are promises it might not go down soon. Add the fact that it is not very accessible to the average consumer, and the show might not be a big hit initially. However, there are chances that it will start a trend, and we will see more shows like this. Disney might be onto something, and if they see even slight potential in this, they will dive deep—that’s inevitable.
