The “Rhinos,” “Highlining,” and “Prehistoric Planet” shorts are the first episodes in series intended for the Vision Pro, and more music docs like the Alicia Keys video seem like a given. The Vision Pro has no controllers; it’s operated by glancing and tapping together your thumb and index finger, and I found pausing a movie or switching between titles simple and intuitive.
