I love flying. I hate flying. There is no middle ground, when you ask most people. I cringe at the thought of being stuck in the middle seat. Let’s just say that I am awaiting the arrival of Teleportation with so much passion, it hurts.
This is why the news of Air France testing out the use of Virtual Reality as onboard entertainment for their passengers comes as a breath of fresh, non-airplane air.
Air France said in a statement: “This will be a valuable learning experience for the company and confirms the importance of improving the customer experience with original and innovative solutions.” Once the test phase is complete, the new in-flight entertainment system that includes up to 40 titles “could be rolled out on other flights in the months ahead”.
The first in-flight test was conducted on August 1st during a flight between Paris Charles de Gaulle and St Martin. American-French San Francisco-based startup SkyLights , with offices also in Paris and Toulouse, is spearheading the project with Air France.
