Availability of some Apple Vision Pro features in Travel Mode
If you have Pointer Control turned on and set to use your head as the pointer, you might not be able to turn on Travel Mode manually after you start moving. To make sure you can use Travel Mode when your head is set as the pointer, turn Travel Mode on before travel begins. If you’re on a plane, turn Travel Mode on, remove Apple Vision Pro for take-off, then put it back on when it’s safe to do so. If you use Pointer Control and forget to turn on Travel Mode before you start moving, you need to wait until Apple Vision Pro senses that you’re travelling and shows the Turn On Travel Mode alert. Then press the Digital Crown to confirm.

If this alert appears while you’re travelling, press the Digital Crown to turn on Travel Mode. If you’re not travelling, remain stationary, select Cancel and wait until tracking recovers and you can see your surroundings.
