There’s a new pandemic-era gadget for those who can’t wait to gaze outside an airplane window again: Sky Scape.
A 22-inch high-resolution display surrounded by a plastic frame, similar to those found in passenger aircraft, Sky Scape offers to elevate the home and office experience as many businesses across the world remain under restrictions to curb the spread of the coronavirus. It was jointly developed by two Japanese companies: Joled Inc., a maker of OLED screens, and LandSkip Inc., a designer of digital displays and installations.
A sold-out flight to nowhere, along with in-flight meals on grounded planes, show healthy demand for experiences that many people across the globe haven’t been able to savor for months. Although development of the Sky Scape began well before the pandemic, the timing turned out right for the current environment, according to Kazuki Shimomura, LandSkip’s chief executive officer.
