In the next update of immersive experiences for Apple Vision Pro users, Apple has added an all-new immersive concert experience with legendary heavy metal band Metallica, that comes out today (14 March).
Filmed in Mexico City, during the band’s sold-out second-year finale of their M72 World Tour, the immersive content will feature full performances of three longtime staples — “Whiplash”, “One”, and “Enter Sandman” — from the band’s stadium-filling live shows; all captured exclusively in Apple Immersive Video.
This storytelling format is only made possible on Apple Vision Pro with its ultra-high-resolution 180-degree video and Spatial Audio that gives you unprecedented access to James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo, through vantage points from as close up at the famed Snake Pit, to the wide angle views of the band.
In order to capture the band’s full performance from multiple perspectives, alongside the electric energy of the over 65,000 passionate fans, Apple built a custom stage layout that featured 14 Apple Immersive Video cameras with a mix of stabilised cameras, cable-suspended cameras, and remote-controlled camera dolly systems that moved around the stage.
Other Apple Immersive Videos to explore
In addition to the concert experience, you can also catch enjoy other immersive videos such as the new Apple Immersive sports film, VIP: Yankee Stadium (available 4 April), which offers an all-access pass to one of the world’s most iconic baseball venues.
Launching alongside the Apple TV+ version, a special edition of Bono: Stories of Surrender will also be making its debut on 30 May in Apple Immersive Video. The version for Apple Vision Pro users will put viewers onstage with Bono and completely immerse them in the story of his life.
This will also mark the first-ever feature-length film available in Apple Immersive Video.
