Airbus will put passengers in 3D helmets
Scientific-technological race between the major aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus continues. If 1st intend to send their device in space, the 2nd are prepared to put their own passengers in helmets virtual virtuality.
The Airbus has filed a patent application of virtual reality helmet for passengers. Document published on web-site of the Bureau for the registration of patents and trademarks of the United States. The fixture is to entertain passengers during a long flight, to ensure its complete isolation from the environment.
It is known that the helmet has a 3D screen, headphones, ventilation and aromatherapy products, as well as a virtual keyboard. It is possible to watch films, play games and listen to music. And integrated ventilation air will destroy unpleasant odours. Not to mention the fact that, inside of the device can be spray aromatic fluid with desirable aroma.
It should be noted that the device, by assuring airline created to start for passengers in economy class. The helmet will complement a little safety cushion in case of unexpected turbulence. Apparently, taking into account the opinion of Airbus, "business" and without it all perfectly. When similar 3D helmets found on the aircraft, the firm does not establish.
Earlier it was reported that Boeing and SpaceX are developing for NASA's latest manned spacecraft designed to deliver astronauts to the International space station. Boeing together with partners from Bigelow Aerospace, is developing a device called CNT, and SpaceX wants to build a manned capsule on the basis of its own cargo ship Dragon.
Plans were selected as a result of competition, which also involved other companies. NASA plans that fresh spacecraft will be able to exercise their first manned flight to the ISS in 2017.
