Gaming, at 35000 feet

The people making aircrafts have now struck upon a brilliant confluence of pleasure and entertainment. The air passengers can now think about playing their favorite games while they are flying in an airplane.

In an attempt to considerably improve the quality of time spent by people on board, seat manufacturer Contour Aerospace has reportedly been jamming with Factorydesign to produce this revolutionary prototype. The Aircraft Interiors Expo is held every year from 5th to 7th April at the Hamburg Messe in Germany. As per Kotaku, the new seat being shown to the public at large for the first time could include a full-sized monitor and speakers fitted on top edges of the seat, enhancing the overall experience of surround sound along with noise cancellation for that ultimate in-flight gaming moments.

I think a lot of aircraft manufacturers are going to show some interest in these concept chairs. Gamers may never have experienced playing their favorite video games high in the skies, while they are flying. They may be champions at their respective games in their comfort zones but the skies will be a new playground altogether. They may even be challenging their fellow passengers on the flight as opponents and engage in a battle of the games.

The bludgeoning number of people who are interested in video games are in absolute undeniable love with their PS3s and Nintendos and are going to be lapping up these seats. The seats will aptly be called Not For Wimps (NFW). As time goes, I think there definitely are going to be improvements. Apart from other comforts which the passengers may expect already, an additional integration of a massage chair into these seats would help.
