The future of in-flight entertainment is coming

Some companies are already working on plane-specific applications for VR. A virtual reality production start-up called Trillenium has been working on a project that could make "windowless planes" a reality. The company is working on using a stream from the cameras on the outside of an aircraft, then stitching it together into a VR experience that a passenger could view through a headset.
