Apple Vision Pro will have an in-flight Travel Mode – here’s what we know
In This Article
TheApple Vision Promixed reality headset will offer a previously unannounced Travel Mode, the visionOS developer beta has revealed.
The eagle-eyed folks atMacRumorsdelved into the firstvisionOSbeta and found a bunch of text strings pertaining to in-flight use.
£500 off Mac Studio M1 Max
This powerful desktop computer is available for £1,499 at Argos right now. That’s a £500 saving on this 2022 model.
Further delving from9to5Macfound the device will have speed limit where users will be told “Virtual content has been temporarily hidden until you return to a safe speed.”
The travel mode, it seems, will be needed to by-pass the warnings you might receive when you’re travelling in a car for instance. However, it’ll also introduce some features specific to being in the confines of the cabin.
Those will include the gaze awareness feature (which shows when people show up in your eyeline) being turned off to ensure they don’t misbehave because of being in close proximity to other passengers. It’ll also warn users to remain stationary, probably to ensure they aren’t flailing around and hitting people in the face. Apple will also warn the gaze tracking feature may not work as well in Travel Mode.
The code strings spied within the visonOS code include:
Apple had shown off the device in-use on an airplane during the WWDC demonstration earlier this month, but didn’t explain how that’d work. It’s interesting to see how this is going to play out in practice.
The Apple Vision Pro will launch in early 2024 in the United States initially, with other territories to follow later that year. It’ll cost $3,499.
