I have yet to take flight on VA, but after watching the behinds the scenes video on Biong Biong, I can’t wait for the day it happens. They have changed the dynamic of in-flight communication with a touch screen display that connects to the flight attendant’s area. No more need to push the call button, make a cabin wide noise and put a light over your head just to get a drink. The touch screen, developed using the open source platform of Linux handles games, movies, music, the cabin lighting and even messaging to Director of in-flight entertainment. These are some of the public wireless break throughs, they have brought the technology into the flight deck, too. VA has obviously thought about the whole flight experience, the attendants, the passengers and the pilots. There are many users with many needs to take into consideration. It is apparent that VA has done thoughtful usered centered research when looking into how to re-engineer the flying experience.
