According to Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak, “Users can turn any place into the best seat in the house, enjoy personal concerts and adventures with Apple Immersive Video, interact with lifelike prehistoric creatures in Encounter Dinosaurs, and even land on the surface of the moon using Environments.

The CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, stated that Apple Vision Pro will allow fans to become more fully immersed in everything Disney has to offer while also bringing them closer to beloved stories and characters. Iger declared, “We’re thrilled to be working with Apple once more to offer amazing new Disney experiences to people all over the world.”
