Meta and Disney have released an updated version of the Disney+ app on the Meta Horizon store, giving Quest headset users access to new 3D and virtual reality experiences that Meta first discussed at Meta Connect in September.
Disney+ has added more than 60 3D movies to Meta’s Quest headsets, among them Toy Story 5, Avatar: Fire and Ash, The Avengers and Black Panther. The films play with Dolby Atmos sound and Dolby Vision picture. They come with an existing Disney+ subscription at no extra charge, though Disney and Meta say what’s offered may differ by region and plan.
The updated app also introduces Disney-themed virtual environments for streaming shows and movies. Viewers can settle into Tatooine from Star Wars, the Scare Floor from Monsters, Inc., or Avengers Tower.
Disney+ is bringing IMAX Enhanced streaming to Meta’s upcoming VR glasses, with support set to go live when the hardware ships in the spring. The initial lineup includes Avengers: Endgame, Lightyear, and Tron: Ares.
Meta has also begun listing 3D movies for purchase or rental in its TV app, according to UploadVR. Separately, a dataminer found a page indicating that 3D films may be bundled with a Horizon+ subscription, a service that could be renamed Meta VR+.
