App Designed For Spatial Computing Brings Airports To Life In 3D
ForeFlight has launched Voyager, a free app designed exclusively for Apple Vision Pro -- which has been getting a lot of attention.
Voyager leverages the advanced spatial computing capabilities of Apple Vision Pro to deliver a 3D airport exploration experience, enabling users to immerse themselves in a real-time aviation environment. Voyager combines 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.
Users can choose from Voyager’s curated list of Featured Airports, search for airports around the world or sort by proximity to view nearby airports. Using a live traffic feed, Voyager depicts commercial and business jets, turboprops, piston aircraft, and helicopters flying near the selected airport, all shown at their actual to-scale altitudes with realistic pitch and bank. Users can select any aircraft to view detailed information about its flight plan and aircraft type, as well as live speed, altitude and heading information.
“ForeFlight is excited to deliver this unique 3D airport exploration experience to aviation enthusiasts with Apple Vision Pro," said 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.”
In addition, our flagship iPad and iPhone application, ForeFlight Mobile, is also available on Vision Pro, allowing customers with an active ForeFlight subscription to access the same next-generation flight planning capabilities. When viewing an airport in Voyager, ForeFlight customers can also access detailed information in ForeFlight with a simple gesture.
