Today Apple released the trailer for the short film Submerged, the first scripted film designed specifically for Apple's Vision Pro headset
Submerged was released in July, and other immersive video “experiences” were created for the Vision Pro; if you have a Vision Pro, you can watch the other videos as well They are also more documentary-style or travelogue-like They include “Wild Life,” which gets up close and personal with wildlife like elephants and divers in the Bahamas
“Submerged” was the only presentation to be written and shot as a film The short film is set during World War II and is about a group of sailors trying to survive a torpedo attack
The film was produced by Austrian director Edward Burger, who directed the Netflix remake of “No Stranger on the Western Front,” one of the best war films available on Netflix
Apple has not released any information regarding showtimes for “Submerge” Other Apple Immersive Video “experiences” range from 5 to 15 minutes Presumably, Submerged will be slightly longer than that
Immersive video is presented in 3D and is intended to give viewers the feeling of being there
Mark Spoonauer, editor-in-chief of Tom's Guide Global, has checked out many immersive videos and even watched standard shows like “The Last of Us” on Vision Pro He described the experience as immersive but surprisingly isolated
Those who do not have a Vision Pro, which is most people, can watch immersive videos using the Apple TV app as long as they live in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and Singapore
Submerged will be available for viewing on Thursday, October 10
