Use Apple Vision Pro on an aeroplane with Travel Mode
With Travel Mode, Apple Vision Pro will adapt to give you the best experience while you’re travelling on an aeroplane.
Apple Vision Pro uses an array of sensors to see the environment around you and keep the items in your view stable. If Apple Vision Pro senses that you’re on an aeroplane, it asks if you want to turn on Travel Mode to adapt to the unique motion and environment of commercial air travel.
You can turn on Travel Mode when Apple Vision Pro suggests it or at any time in Control Centre.
In some situations, Apple Vision Pro may think you’re on an aeroplane when you’re not and prompt you to turn on Travel Mode. Remember: never use Travel Mode if you’re not on an aeroplane.
