On May 14th, Meta announced the launch of a new “travel mode” that allows the Meta Quest series of headsets to be used on airplanes. This experimental feature is now open to Quest 2 and 3 headsets running Quest v65 or later. When this mode is turned on, passengers can turn on the "see-through" function of the headset to view the surrounding environment during flight, without having to Worry about the picture drifting due to the movement of the aircraft.
To experience "Travel Mode", users only need to enable it in Settings -> Experimental Features, and then "Travel Mode" will appear in the "Quick Settings" panel, allowing users to enable or disable it at any time. have to be aware of is,"Travel mode" is currently only optimized for airplane scenarios and does not support transportation such as cars or trains.. Meta says it will add support for other modes of transportation in the future. Additionally, if the game or application requires an Internet connection, the user's flight will need to offer Wi-Fi service.
It is understood that although the Meta Quest headset can also be used in flight, the location tracking function needs to be turned off, which also disables the "see-through" function, causing inconvenience to users. The launch of "Travel Mode" solves this problem question.
Industry insiders believe that this move is obviously a reference to the Vision Pro headset released by Apple earlier this year, which also has a similar "travel mode." But there are also some limitations, such as not being able to look out the window, which will disable the tracking function. A similar situation may occur in Meta Quest's new mode.
