The initial buzz for Apple’s mixed-reality headset has died down, but new apps and experiences are still arriving for consumers who plunked down $3,500.The UK broadcaster Channel 4 just dropped a dedicated streaming app for the headset, which lets users watch stuff in “ground-breaking cinema-style.”Channel 4 is the first UK broadcaster to take this step.The app leverages the tech inside the headset to overlay streaming content on the real world, which allows for a “full-screen viewing experience” of stuff like and , in addition to multi-screen view.Speaking of , the broadcaster also announced an environment based on the comedy game show.
Environments on the AVP transform the world around the user, so people can watch while sitting in a room inspired by (cue that Xzibit Yo Dawg meme.)
