- latexr 2y agoLovely, just what we need: cheap devices with a motion-sickness-inducing laggy passthrough, poor resolution screens (when they work at all), covered in other people’s face grease.

- JoshTriplett 2y agoDevices owned by someone else pointing a camera at your eyes and doing eye tracking...
- makeitdouble 2y agoI'd bet on them removing screens and not replacing them, potentially also getting rid of the headphone jack. Perhaps they extend the charging ports some airlines are offering, with a bit more juice than a phone's battery to let people use their device for a bit longer.
- chasd00 2y agoThat's a really interesting idea. Do planes have access to Starlink now? I could see a market for passengers to purchase a vr headset and decent inet connection on a flight. It would be tough to keep the headsets in good shape and clean though...
- nordsieck 2y ago> Do planes have access to Starlink now? There's a number of airlines that have signed contracts, like United. I think it'll take a while for everything to be completely rolled out.
