IMMERSIVE MODE
Specialized Aviation Rules
01—
Airplane cabins operate under unique regulations
Without safeguards, XR/Metaverse engagement on airplanes will be heavily scrutinised & could eventually be banned by regulators.
1
Regulatory complexity
Country & region-specific civil aviation authorities such as
FAA or EASA
are regulating airlines
International aviation safety bodies such as
IATA or ICAO
give input and can set industry standards
Unrestricted access to XR & the Metaverse at scale is not possible in an airplane cabin
2
Finite physical space
Up to
800 passengers crammed into a flying metal tube
with no way to escape
Internet/connectivity bandwidth restrictions are real and the
aircraft infrastructure is the only available gateway
Overlapping of
multiple signals and networks
(e.g., Bluetooth) as further restriction
3
Safety-first approach
Airlines are optimizing all processes on board
with safety in mind
Special considerations on factors that could
delay emergency procedures
Better “safe than sorry”
mindset is prevailing in industry for a good reason
4
Technology lagging behind
For those reasons, airline-provided
technology typically lags 5-10 years behind
Passenger-owned devices
can be banned
(for instance the Galaxy Note 7 ban)
Passenger-owned XR/Metaverse devices at scale need to be safety-enabled through Inflight VR IP
