A device for audio/visual recording and reproduction of images/films comprising at least two cameras and at least two spatially separate display surfaces assigned to each one of these cameras for the reproduction of the images/films recorded by respectively one of these cameras in which the display surfaces are in each case windows of a room, wherein the windows are located in boundary surfaces of this room at an angle with respect to one another and wherein the images/films have been recorded by different cameras directed in different directions in each case. Alternatively to this, it is optionally possible to record with only one 360 camera and then different image sections can be created from this recording, which correspond to specific viewing directions and which are then projected onto respectively one window serving as display surface, which is aligned in the room according to the recording direction of the camera.

A hybrid electric jet powered aircraft including a fuselage member, a power unit, a set of wing members, and an emergency safety unit. The fuselage member includes a cabin having a plurality of enclosed seating elements for transporting a plurality of passengers and a cockpit having a plurality of seating elements for one or more operators of the aircraft. The power unit includes at least one electric powered motor and at least one jet fueled powered engine. The set of wing members for lifting the fuselage member. The set includes two pairs of wing members, wherein each pair of wing members is attached at its proximate end to the fuselage member on opposite sides of the fuselage member from one another. Each wing member has a tilting ducted fan attached to its distal end. Each ducted fan is tilted in a first position for horizontal forward flight and each ducted fan is tilted in a second position for vertical flight. The emergency safety unit for ejecting a parachute canopy when an emergency situation occurs in the aircraft.

An aircraft includes a fuselage and a cabin area with a plurality of windows. The aircraft includes a plurality of projectors positioned within the cabin area that are oriented toward corresponding windows. The projectors project an image over the glass portion of the corresponding window and surrounding surfaces. The image includes a dark center region that is aligned with the glass portion of the corresponding window, reducing undesired effect on passengers. The dark center region may reduce a reflective glare from the glass portion of the corresponding window. The image may include an outer region around the dark center region, which may be brighter than the dark center region. The outer region may illuminate a window bezel and/or a portion of a cabin sidewall. The aircraft may include a plurality of cameras positioned to acquire an outside image that may be added to the image projected by the projectors.

A visual output assembly for an aircraft cabin includes at least one electronic display device, a projection screen, an image projector configured to project images onto the projection screen, and at least one illumination device.

In a method for avoiding dazzling of a person (10) by a light source (6) arranged in an interior (20) of a vehicle (22), wherein the light source (6) during operation emits light (24) within a beam cone (26), a camera (4) is arranged in the interior (20) and oriented such that at least one monitoring section (28) of the beam cone (26), in which the person (10) can enter, is located in the field of view (30) of the camera (4), the camera (4) records a camera image (32), using machine person detection, it is ascertained from the camera image (32) whether at least one part of the person (10) is located within the beam cone (26), in this case, at least the region (18) of the beam cone (26) in which the part of the person (10) is located is switched to glare-free.

Methods and systems for controlling an aircraft cabin display are described herein. The method comprises obtaining a reflected color on a surface adjacent to a cabin window of an aircraft, generating an image having an image color in accordance with the reflected color on the surface adjacent to the cabin window, and displaying the image having the image color on a display device covering the cabin window.

An aircraft suite may include a passenger compartment disposed on a main deck of an aircraft. The passenger compartment may be partitioned from a main passenger cabin of the main deck by at least one bulkhead. The passenger compartment may include an aircraft seat and a hatch set within an opening in a floor of the passenger compartment. The aircraft suite may include a lower lobe rest compartment integrated in a cargo deck below the main deck. The lower lobe rest compartment may be proximate to the passenger compartment. The lower lobe rest compartment may include a passenger rest compartment and a device proximate to the hatch. The device may be configured to assist a passenger to at least one of descend into the lower lobe rest compartment from the passenger compartment, or ascend into the passenger compartment from the lower lobe rest compartment, via the hatch.

A passenger rest cabin situated in the overhead crown area of an aircraft provides individual rest compartments along either lateral side of a central longitudinal corridor of limited height. The corridor and entrance thereto is configured to minimize the risk of claustrophobia by providing sensory preparation systems and techniques. Sensory preparation including transitional compartments with variations in video, lighting and ventilation are presented to the passenger to create a more inviting space. The limited height corridor is equipped with a series of handholds, sized and spaced according to the size of the average passenger, to mitigate the strain of traversing the corridor in a bent over position.

A bi-directional entry vestibule for a passenger aircraft provides passenger access to overhead rest cabins and lower-lobe rest cabins (e.g., on a lower cargo deck) via separate enclosed chambers incorporating ascending and descending staircases respectively. The ascent and descent chambers may be accessed from the main passenger cabin via access doors (one door or separate doors); the ascending and descending access doors may be on opposing sides of the aircraft (e.g., accessible from port-side and starboard-side aisles) or adjacent to each other and accessible via the same aisle. The ascent chamber may include a further transitional space transitioning into an overhead corridor-based cabin, the transitional space including a crew station comprising a fold-down jump seat, communications equipment, and emergency supply storage.
