Red Bull is riding the new 3D wave, debuting The Art of Flight as its first sports documentary available in 3D with 4K Dolby Vision, exclusively on Apple Vision Pro for now.
3D is back, this time in 4K resolution with HDR. Following in the footsteps of Disney+, Apple TV app (for movie rentals) and IMAX, Red Bull's streaming service now also offers content in 3D.

The first movie from Red Bull to be made available in 3D at home in the US is The Art of Flight, an 80-minute snowboarding documentary movie produced in 3D back in 2011 during the last 3D era when TV makers were trying to sell consumers on the concept.

Only available on Apple Vision Pro
The remastered 3D version of The Art of Flight is also in 4K resolution and Dolby Vision HDR.
Currently, only Apple Vision Pro supports MV-HEVC Main10, which is required for 3D 4K. Meta's Quest only supports base MV-HEVC for 3D 1080p. However, none of the streaming services have made their 3D content available on Quest so far.
