Just after the release of Vision Pro, Apple plans to launch Travel Mode to enhance the flight experience for users, allowing scanning and detecting items, and interaction gestures within the airplane cabin, promising a unique 3D environment. However, one drawback is that users still have to carry the Vision Pro headset with a power bank, which diminishes its futuristic appeal.

Travel Mode Adapting to the Airplane Environment

• The Travel Mode feature is designed to optimize the functionality of the Vision Pro headset for the constraints of an airplane cabin.
• Certain awareness features are disabled to ensure a smooth VR experience.
• Digital Personas may be unavailable in Travel Mode, potentially due to limited space and disabled awareness features.
• Gaze accuracy may be reduced due to adjusted seating positions, but Travel Mode compensates for this.

Visual Search Mode Works the Same As On Land

• The Vision Pro headset can detect items and text in the user’s surroundings.
• Users can access information and interact with text, including copying and pasting printed text into apps.
• Translation functionality for 17 different languages is also provided.

VisionOS Beta and Future Release

• VisionOS, the platform powering the Vision Pro headset, is currently in its early beta phase.
• Developers can optimize their applications for the headset using the SDK and beta versions.
• The Vision Pro headset is expected to be available for sale early next year.
