Developers have been struggling to devise compelling uses for the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality headset, but the creators of the Flight Sight app believe they have cracked the code with their Robinson R44 immersive training content. Rogue Labs, which is developing the app, is using the Blackmagic Ursa Cine Immersive digital film camera and the DaVinci Resolve Studio to capture and edit the training material. Rogue Labs expects to release the app in the third quarter.
The app takes advantage of the Vision Pro to deliver immersive video “to put pilots in training in real-world scenarios so they can familiarize themselves with maneuvers and procedures without ever leaving the ground,” according to Blackmagic Design. There will also be interactive learning using 3D helicopter models and an immersive airport environment, airport procedure maps to help students visualize arrival and departure procedures, and sightseeing experiences.
