Apple Vision Pro

Ok I watched Submerged with an Apple friend last night. We Shareplayed it. No spoilers below but if you want to watch without biases don't read.

tl;dr there's still a lot more experimenting to be done but I want more of this type of media.

Thoughts:
- Holy shit the detail that the AVP display is capable of really shines here. 
- Trad film folks will need to unlearn some techniques that don't work well in VR. A few of the angles made me feel dizzy and I'm a 10 year VR veteran 🥴 
- I'm still processing how I feel about some of the changes in scale. Kind of weird to feel like you have a giant human head in front of you. Works on a 2D cinema screen but felt odd in VR.
- The scenes with water were epic. Felt a level of anxiety I don't usually feel with normal movies.
- The lighting really carried some scenes and the effects of lighting felt more profound in VR.
- Far superior than 360 content. Easier to story tell and the quality is unreal.
- Highly recommend the shareplay experience. Social watching rules.

Cross posting my thoughts on the new Apple Immersive short

Damn that would be epic.

When I opened Apple TV to watch this there was a big severance banner and I got really excited for sec thinking there was some immersive version.

A mini-series that plays with the immersion would be cool. Watch normal severance on 2D and watch Immersive shorts where you get to live part of the innie/outties life you didn't see on screen.

I was hoping Severance season 2 took so long because it was going to be done in this format.. 🥲

Imagine that, the first season of a series in this format ever..
