Flight Tracking on Apple Vision Pro: What's Possible in 2026
Spatial flight tracking, immersive 3D approach views, and what the visionOS flight tracker experience could look like in 2026 and beyond.
What spatial flight tracking unlocks
Apple Vision Pro is the first mainstream device that can render flight tracking in the room with you. The natural form factor:
- A 3D globe with your flight as a glowing arc above your coffee table.
- Pinned arrival ETA floating beside your apartment door so the airport pickup is one glance.
- Immersive cockpit-perspective approach view as your loved one's flight enters the descent profile.
What FlightyFlow is exploring
Our visionOS prototype renders pinned flights as floating cards with a live tail-camera-perspective view of the descent. Long-pressing a card pins it to your kitchen for the rest of the day.
Why this matters even if you don't have a Vision Pro
The visionOS development pushes us to think about flight tracking at four altitudes: glance (Live Activity), conversation (iPhone full app), planning (iPad), and spatial (Vision Pro). Each forces clarity on what matters.
