Synopsis

What If...? – An Immersive Story is the first-ever interactive Disney+ Original story and it invites audiences to step inside an adventure like never before. From Marvel Studios and ILM Immersive, released exclusively on Apple Vision Pro, this narrative-driven experience combines storytelling and groundbreaking technology to bring the viewer into an epic mixed reality story with iconic character variants from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe joining the journey. Leveraging cutting-edge rendering capabilities, the viewer is transported to multiple new and iconic worlds as the central protagonist. Through eye tracking and custom hand-based gestures, the viewer becomes the hero while casting mystic spells and making meaningful choices that move the story forward. Together, these features and more offer a new type
of immersive storytelling that has been previously impossible until now.

Main Creator’s Statement 

What if you were given the chance to travel across space and time on a journey that questioned what you believed to be true? To be presented with a choice that would affect a life’s timeline?Choice is a prism of limitless possibilities, and we all see the world through our own lens. This project represents the growing opportunity that experiential media presents, to challenge the way in which we experience stories, characters, and empathy. Our goal was to blend everything we love about linear, cinematic-style storytelling with interactivity: you are now the central protagonist within Marvel’s iconic history of characters and stories that are rooted in the world outside your window, which is now a universe at the end of your fingertips.
