Marvel’s What If…? Vision Pro app is an awkward mix of video game and movie

It’s not the Vision Pro’s killer app.

You’ll go through the Vision Pro-exclusive app either by standing in one spot in a virtual environment, watching things play out and participating when prompted to, or in passthrough, where you can move around while cell-shaded 3D AR characters talk to you. And Shereif M. Fattouh, an executive producer at ILM Immersive, said the team plans to keep supporting the app and will “be monitoring to see if there are any updates” needed based on user feedback. It seems clear from Bushore’s response to my questions that the format won’t veer further into game territory, and it’s hard to know from Fattouh’s answer whether the team will make any significant changes down the line to the way the story is presented.
