The concept of onboard entertainment is designed to revolutionize time perception during air travel. This innovative system aims to shorten flight time perception by immersing passengers in a captivating world of in-flight entertainment.
The objective of this onboard entertainment concept is to reshape the way time is perceived during flights, while also fostering connectivity and interaction among passengers.
The concept comprises two distinct alternatives for enjoying time onboard. Passengers will have the opportunity to indulge in a selection of movies, television shows, interactive games, audiobooks, podcasts and informative content seamlessly integrated into seat screens. Moreover, they can engage in chatting with fellow travelers, write and read about their own journeys as well as those of other passengers.
From thrilling blockbusters to documentaries, the extensive range of entertainment options ensures that each traveler discovers something they enjoy. By creating an appealing and pleasant atmosphere, this prototype aims to redefine the onboard experience and make the hours spent in the air fly by.
JOURNEY
Staying informed about every aspect of their flights is a priority for many individuals—whether it's tracking the flight's status, occupancy levels, altitude, distance to the destination, or more. With JOURNEY, passengers can now immerse themselves in a comprehensive exploration of their travel experience. This groundbreaking innovation empowers travelers with access to flight information, real-time camera visuals, and even an airport map of their destination, providing unparalleled clarity and insight into all facets of their journey.
DINE
When is the next mealtime? Can I rest assured without missing out on lunch? Can I purchase additional food?
These are common questions that passengers ask themselves on long distance flights. With DINE, passengers can now gain insights into the upcoming dishes, add more food, and request wake-up service timed with meal delivery. This innovative feature ensures they stay nourished and connected throughout the flight, addressing these typical concerns while enhancing the overall travel experience.
