ForeFlight has released the Voyager app for Apple’s newly released Vision Pro virtual reality headset. The free app puts the user into a “3D airport exploration experience,” with a depiction of the airport using satellite imagery, high-resolution terrain, and live traffic data “to bring each airport to life in 3D on top of a floating disk that users can view from any angle,” according to ForeFlight.
Traffic in Voyager is shown at to-scale altitudes with realistic pitch and bank, and it includes all aircraft types such as airliners, business jets, turboprops, light airplanes, and helicopters. Selecting an aircraft pops up flight plan and aircraft type information and live speed, altitude, and heading. Airports available in Voyager include ForeFlight’s curated list of featured airports plus worldwide airports or nearby airports sorted by proximity.
“ForeFlight is excited to deliver this unique 3D airport exploration experience to aviation enthusiasts with Apple Vision Pro," said company CEO Tim Schuetze. “This exciting new spatial computing platform enables us to deliver all-new experiences that were never before possible, and the new Voyager app is a great example of our continued innovation.”
Vision Pro users and ForeFlight subscribers can also use the Vision Pro headset to plan flights in the ForeFlight app. Using finger and hand gestures, the user can interact with the app and move around in the maps tab.
