Sensosphere soothes your senses while flying


Cabin wall patterns do contribute to a passenger's sense of comfort in a long distance haul. Who can understand it better then Swiss automotive design house Rinspeed who has recently announced a new initiative to design airplane cabins with light displays on the walls. Rinspeed calls its cabin design Sensosphere. It relies on a computer-controlled electroluminescent material lining the cabin walls for the displays. Based on emotional effect of moving patterns on people, this high-tech surface shines green, orange or blue. Orange may make a person feel warmer, and blue or green may make them cooler. Blue may also send a message of clean or fresh fragrance!
