visionOS 26.2 brings official support for using Apple Vision Pro in cars and buses via improved tracking in Travel Mode.<\/p>\n

Apple Vision Pro was the first headset to deliver a Travel Mode, meaning a toggle that makes its positional tracking system work while in a moving vehicle, when it launched<\/a> in early 2024.<\/p>\n

Since then, over the years, Meta<\/a>, Pico<\/a>, Snap<\/a>, and Google<\/a> have followed with their own implementations of Travel Mode for their headsets.<\/p>\n

At launch, Apple’s Travel Mode was specifically designed for airplanes. With visionOS 2<\/a> last year, it was updated to officially support trains. And now with visionOS 26.2, released last week, Apple Vision Pro officially supports cars and buses too.<\/p>\n

“Travel Mode lets passengers use Apple Vision Pro on cars and busses in addition to airplanes and train”, Apple’s release notes<\/a> read.<\/p>\n

I say “officially” because the feature did already work in these scenarios. When picking up Apple Vision Pro in New York at launch, I used its Travel Mode in the back of an Uber. It worked, with some minor jitter.<\/p>\n

I’ll be sure to try Apple Vision Pro’s Travel Mode again next time I’m in a long distance Uber, Waymo, or bus, as I’m curious to see how much improvement the official support brings.<\/p>\n

The update arrived on the same week that Google announced and started rolling out a Travel Mode for Android XR on Galaxy XR, which officially only supports planes.<\/p>\n
