Emirates Looks to Windowless Planes
Emirates Airline has unveiled a new first class suite on board its latest aircraft that features virtual windows. Instead of being able to see directly outside, passengers view images projected in from outside the aircraft using fibre-optic cameras. (www.bbc.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It could work until all passengers see a window that reads, :( Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart...
Uh oh - no windows, remember? lol
a down vote? oh for gosh sakes where's your sense of humor !
However, my Apple works just fine. Don't need know stinking Windows!
soon to be followed by advertising. Sorry but that idea sucks.
"soon"? You are optimistic. I bet "immediately." Also expect an "enhanced viewing surcharge."
although I understand the principle of making aircraft lighter,i much prefer the option of looking out at the stars,or that beautiful mountain range,or even the clouds,than a "virtual reality" projection..years ago (50's and 60's vintage) there was a tv show called "the twilight zone",a bit of fantasy,a bit of reality and a bit of science fiction..one of their more memorable shows was that of a man (played by a young William shatner)looking out the window of a passenger plane,(not a jet) who saw some kind of strange "creature" chewing on the wing..no one believed him and when the plane landed, they took him away in a straight jacket,only to find damage to the wing ! it was entertaining,and this virtual window" idea reminded me of that!
