What if Stark-like technologies existed in our reality and enabled us to enter the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Thanks to Marvel Studios and ILM Immersive, What If…? – An Immersive Story does just that as the first-ever interactive Disney+ Original story coming exclusively to Apple Vision Pro.
As director and executive producer Dave Bushore explains, “As a kid, my favorite stories were about worlds beyond my own, advanced technologies, and heroes traveling across space and time. What If…? – An Immersive Story is the next evolution in how we tell our stories, where fans across generations can experience them and live out the adventure alongside their favorite heroes. This experience kicks the door open to the Marvel Universe, and it’s a glimpse of what I’ve been waiting for my whole life.”
Soon, with Apple Vision Pro and a Disney+ account, we’ll be able to step into the leading role of an all-new immersive story that transforms the space around us as we traverse across realities. Throughout our journey, we’ll come face-to-face with Multiversal variants of our favorite characters, learn the mystic arts, and be tasked with harnessing the power of the Infinity Stones.
For all of us who’ve been practicing the mystic arts in an attempt to conjure up even the smallest of spells, it’s now our time to shine!
“What If…? – An Immersive Story takes this one step further and actually allows you to visit these strange new worlds, not as a Watcher but as an actual participant,” says Executive producer Brad Winderbaum. “The creative work on this project is nothing less than stellar, and we could not be more excited for fans to interact firsthand with some of their favorite Marvel heroes.”
Utilizing the revolutionary spatial computing capabilities of Apple Vision Pro, What If…? – An Immersive Story delivers a technologically advanced and engaging experience that will cross between augmented and virtual reality as we live out our narrative adventure and allow us to interact with the world around us by using our eyes and hands. Another key aspect of bringing the breathtaking environments of iconic MCU locations to life is the stunning visuals and spatial audio that will make us feel as if we’re right in the center of it all!
We’ve all heard The Watcher proclaim time, space, and reality are more than a linear path, and with the first-ever interactive Disney+ Original story on Apple Vision Pro, we’ll experience just how expansive the multiverse truly is in What If…? – An Immersive Story. Stay tuned to D23 as more details are revealed!
