A user's desk can be turned into a keyboard with Apple's virtual keyboard

Troughton Smith utilised the Apple Music app to carry out his experiment, but any programme and virtually any control could be used.

  • A hidden function for the Vision Pro spatial computer is reportedly present in the first developer beta of visionOS. The 'Travel Mode' function was created to improve consumers' in-flight experiences. Given that the cabin of an aeroplane, with its constrained area and unique environmental conditions, might be challenging for virtual reality (VR) devices, Travel Mode is the company's response to provide a more streamlined experience.
  • Earlier this month, the tech titan launched the Vision Pro headset. Starting in the US, the headset will go on sale early in 2023 for $3,499. In addition to this finding, it has also come to light that the Vision Pro headset's operating system, visionOS, contains a private function named "Travel Mode" in its initial developer beta. By enhancing performance and adjusting to the particular difficulties of utilising VR equipment in an aeroplane cabin with constrained space and specific climatic conditions, this mode seeks to improve users' in-flight virtual reality experience.

The headset is anticipated to give an immersive and high-quality virtual reality experience

The Cupertino-based tech giant unveiled the $3,499 Vision Pro headset earlier this month. It will be on sale in the US at the beginning of next year. VR enthusiasts and professionals alike are anxiously awaiting the debut of the Vision Pro headset and the promise it offers for revolutionising how we interact with virtual content. The headset is anticipated to give an immersive and high-quality virtual reality experience.
