What if there was something that could actually measure you're welling being while you fly?
-
To put the experience of flying with us to the test
-
We invented the Happiness Blanket
-
And conducted the unique live experiment of 30,000 feet
-
Using portable neuro-sensor technology
-
We developed a wearable device
-
that measures the electrical fluctuations in the neurons of the brain
-
Identifying when the wearer's experiencing a feeling of well-being
-
This information relieved via Bluetooth to fiber optics woven into the blanket
-
Which visually indicate what the wearer is feeling
-
When a person is stressed or anxious, the blanket turns red
-
When calm and relaxed, it turns blue
-
We then conducted our experiment on actual flights between London and New York
-
And here is what we discovered
-
Initially, there are fluctuations as the passengers settle in
-
But there is a noticeable lift in a passenger's mood whilst enjoying food and drink
-
It can also see the variations in responses to different types of films and entertainment
-
From comedy to thrillers
-
But most importantly
-
We discovered the unwavering sense of well-being created by being able to sink into deep undisturbed sleep
-
So we know that all the enhancement we've made
-
From the seat to the cuisine, entertainment and lighting
-
have a positive effect on your mind and body
-
Which means you can really see the difference when people fly
