Emirates becomes first airline to introduce VR seats

Emirates has introduced three-dimensional seat models on its portal, allowing passengers to check out in advance the plane they have booked -- before even boarding the aircraft. Using the virtual reality technology, flyers can simply go to the airline’s website on their desktop or mobile phone and visualise the interior of the Emirates A380 and the Emirates Boeing 777. It will be an immersive experience, as customers can virtually enter the plane and scrutinise the interiors. And since the new feature offers 3D-360 degree views of the cabins, the passenger will have a clearer idea if the selected seat is a good fit for their needs. Passengers can navigate through the economy, business and first class sections and also virtually check out the facilities on Emirates’ iconic double-decker aircraft, such as the on-board lounge and shower spa. <br/>
