Is there a VR app for planes?

[Maury Markowitz]

I have a program called GoSkyWatch that is a wonderful little VR app for the night sky. Simply point it at an object and presto.

It seems that the VAST majority of reports from New Jersey are planes. There was one last night on Fox News that I can ID as a likely Airbus from the A320 family.

Is there an app like GoSkyWatch but for planes? One where the camera would be on and you would get the object in the camera and then it would ID it?

If there is, we should re-skin it and call it "NJ UFO reporter" and get it out as far and wide as possible.

FlightRadar24's mobile app has an augmented reality mode, but in practise it's more likely to generate confusion as it has limits and relies on good compass calibration and internal gyros.

It generally works fine on my phone, but busy airspace gets confusing.

Oh, I didn't know that, I normally use the web site even on my phone. I'll get a copy now.
