Does the "camera" point downwards? Straight out? The available views from a window seat are pretty close to a 180 degree half sphere. That won't be possible with a screen unless there's some way to pan.
Also no rays of sunlight :-/.
If there is some way to pan, it could be better than looking out the side for most passengers, if it's super HD. It presumably won't be blocked by the wing, and could encourage carriers to put nice outward-facing views on the seatback screens for passengers in other seats.
IMO it's definitely going to be a minor downgrade to the experience, offset by lower ticket prices.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoWith a few cameras in strategic locations, you could build a 360 spherical view of the entire outside for passengers.
- reaperducer 8y agoIf the point of removing windows is to save weight, it doesn't make sense to add cameras, screens, cables, power distribution, etc... which all add weight.

- volkk 8y agowell it does make sense...if that weight is negligible compared to the amount saved from removing the windows
- brownkonas 8y agoI wonder what radiation insulation benefits this also provides?
