Apple Vision Pro just got a powerful, immersive helicopter training and flight experience app. Rogue Labs has launched Flight Sight, which combines Apple Immersive Video, 3D helicopter models, spatial maps, and more for Apple Vision Pro users.
It’s the latest in a growing library of advanced, enterprise-focused apps for Apple Vision Pro.
Flight Sight is described as the “future of immersive helicopter training and flight experiences.” To deliver on that promise, there are multiple facets to the Flight Sight app on Apple Vision Pro.
180-degree Apple Immersive Video training footage captured with the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera
Hyper-realistic 3D helicopter models with detailed interiors and exteriors
Flight pattern animations and spatial airport procedure maps for visualizing arrivals and departures
Scalable learning interactions, allowing users to shrink or expand aircraft models for closer study

So when Apple Vision Pro came out, that was a game changer.”
