Apple TV wants to make watching its weekly “Friday Night Baseball” MLB doubleheaders a much more engaging experience for fans with an Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset. Starting later this month, immersive “Friday Night Baseball” streams will launch on Apple Vision Pro headsets, with bespoke commentary, Spatial Audio, and more.
Key Details:
- Coming soon: “Friday Night Baseball” comes to Apple Vision Pro starting Aug. 28.
- Look around: The headset will allow viewers to watch 3D video in 8K with a 180-degree field of view.
- Top teams: Audiences will see the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, and more in action.
Starting Friday, Aug. 28, baseball fans will be able to watch “Friday Night Baseball” games on the Apple TV streaming service with an Apple Vision Pro headset. Games broadcast live in Apple Immersive on the Apple Vision Pro will use 3D video recorded in 8K resolution, offering a 180-degree view of the field.
The experience will be accompanied by bespoke audio, featuring play-by-play voice Paul Severino, analyst Xavier Scruggs, and sideline reporter Michelle Margaux. Viewers will see an immersive graphics package that includes team lineups and stats, and will also enjoy an absorbing in-stadium experience during game breaks that will let them feel as if they’re sitting in the ballpark.
The game schedule features some marquee teams, including Aug. 28’s game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Check out the full schedule of “Friday Night Baseball” games in Apple Immersive on the Apple Vision Pro below:
