Disney Plus Adds 3D Titles and Virtual Environments to Meta Quest App
Subscribers using Meta Quest headsets can now stream more than 60 3D films alongside interactive, themed virtual environments.
Walt Disney Co. and Meta have expanded the features available on the Disney Plus application for Meta Quest virtual reality headsets, introducing a library of more than 60 feature films in 3D format beginning Thursday.
The update allows existing Disney Plus subscribers accessing the platform through supported Meta Quest devices to stream compatible movies in three dimensions at no additional cost. Major titles included in the initial 3D rollout feature blockbuster releases such as Marvel Studios' "The Avengers" and "Black Panther," alongside various animated and live-action features.
Beyond stereoscopic video playback, the software update introduces customizable, immersive virtual environments tailored to specific entertainment franchises. Users can select virtual viewing backgrounds that reflect the movie being watched, including a Tatooine landscape for "Star Wars: A New Hope" or the Scare Floor setting for Pixar's "Monsters, Inc."
The technical integration represents a continued effort by major entertainment studios to expand spatial video and virtual reality content offerings on consumer hardware. Prior to the release, streaming options on the platform were largely limited to traditional two-dimensional viewing formats within standard digital theater interfaces.
The updated Disney Plus software is rolling out automatically to users and can be downloaded through the Meta Quest Store starting Thursday. Access to the expanded content catalog requires an active Disney Plus subscription and a compatible Meta Quest headset.
