Vielleicht kommt sowas ja auch mal nach Europa rüber..This is a question frequent fliers take sides on. With WindowSeat, a new app for the iPhone, everyone can experience a more enjoyable flight. With a flyover view map, it acts as an in-air companion to track travel progress and educate the user along the way.
Most airlines still don’t offer free WiFi, so WindowSeat works offline. By using historical flight path data between the user’s departure and arrival airports, it is able to present images of and facts about landmarks the plane is flying over. It reminds us of Dentsu London’s time-bending flashcard concept, which tells train riders stories about the industrial archaeology they are passing. Whether traveling by road, rail, or air, we all have our go-to methods of passing time. Now, by tapping into our mobile phone’s innate situational awareness, we’ll be able to learn about our surroundings, and even turn our travels into a game.
