Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset may have a dedicated "Travel Mode" for plane travel, according to text strings uncovered in the first visionOS beta. The mode is expected to enhance the user experience while on a plane by disabling or toning down the headset's awareness features, reducing gaze accuracy, and warning users to stay stationary. The mode is likely to be a sensory distraction for passengers during long flights, but the constraints of air travel may affect the headset's performance. The Vision Pro is expected to arrive next year.
The Apple Vision Pro may come with a Travel Mode option for airplane rides, according to text strings found in the device's operating system.

Apple Vision Pro, set to release in 2024, may have limitations when used at high speeds or in tight environments, with alerts warning users of unsafe speeds or proximity to objects. However, a "Travel Mode" will allow users to interact with the device on airplanes, albeit with limited inputs and the requirement to remain stationary. The visionOS SDK also revealed a Guest Mode and limited language support for the device. Developers can now download the SDK and apply for a developer kit, with labs opening in select cities for app testing.
Apple's new "Travel Mode" feature for its Apple Vision Pro spatial computer is designed to enhance the user experience while on board an airplane. The feature adapts the device to work efficiently in the unique environmental factors of an airplane cabin, disabling certain sensors and features that depend on spatial awareness and potentially affecting gaze tracking. The feature is still in beta, and further refinements and potentially more features are expected before it's rolled out to the general public.
