If you have a Meta Quest 3 or a compatible Quest headset, or the new Meta VR Glasses which will come out in place of a Meta Quest 4, you can now enjoy Disney movies like never before. Following up on a promise that it made earlier this year, Meta has partnered with Disney to upgrade the Disney+ app for its XR (Extended Reality) headsets.

Meta Quest and Meta VR Glasses owners (the latter of which launch next year) can now use the Disney+ app on their headset to watch over 60 Disney movies in 3D in some regions. While you could previously watch these movies on a massive virtual screen anchored in front of you, now you can do so with the movies playing like they would in a 3D cinema.
The movies also get Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support so you can really feel like you’re in a high-end cinema. Availability of Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision varies across different regions, however. Users who have gotten access to the new feature seem to be loving it.

If you loved watching The Avengers in a cinema, you can now relive that experience in a myriad of fantastic virtual environments. For example, you can transport yourself to the top of Avengers Tower, a spot on Tatooine, or the Scare Floor from Monsters, Inc. The possibilities are endless with VR.

Best of all, you don’t have to pay anything extra to get access to supported 3D titles. Just your normal Disney+ subscription is good enough.

Meta is in a fierce competition

The XR market is taking off properly now. Meta has been king of VR for a very long time because it was the only major Western manufacturer so dedicated to this segment.
Now, with Apple and Samsung having entered the field and other big names in tow, Meta has to go all out to retain customers while attracting new ones. Allowing us to watch Star Wars movies on a giant screen, in 3D, while seated somewhere on Tatooine is perhaps the best way it can do that right now.
Abdullah loves smartphones, Virtual Reality, and audio gear. Though he covers a wide range of news his favorite is always when he gets to talk about the newest VR venture or when Apple sets the industry ablaze with another phenomenal release.
