Viewers can now experience Channel 4 programming like never before as it launches its streaming app on Apple Vision Pro! 🤖 This means that Channel 4 shows will now be viewable in a ground-breaking cinema-style, full-screen viewing experience overlaid onto viewers’ real-life environments, such as living room walls. Shout out to all our teams across Channel 4, plus Avalon and Accenture, for their support on our exciting Taskmaster immersive environment. “The new Channel 4 Apple Vision Pro app builds on our heritage of viewer innovation, be that the first broadcaster in the world to offer a TV-based on-demand service, or, the first PSB to launch an HD channel in the UK. The app also enables us to create even more viewer delight in one of our most-cherished shows, Taskmaster, moving it from the TV to the physical world. As we transition to become a public service streamer, we’re constantly exploring new ways to entertain viewers and engage advertisers through technology which creates remarkable experiences.” - Grace Boswood, Director of Technology & Distribution, Channel 4
