Qantas’ VR headsets will transport customers to an immersive virtual world at the click of a button and showcase the sights and delights of network destinations, new Qantas products and the latest inflight blockbuster movies.
The Samsung VR headsets will be featured in the First Class Lounge in Sydney and Melbourne from mid-February and on select Airbus A380 flights between Australia and Los Angeles in the First Class cabin from mid-March.
The trial will run for three months to assess customer feedback on how this kind of VR offering might add to their overall travel experience on long-haul flights.
Qantas will be the only airline to offer a virtual reality entertainment experience inflight.
Qantas is also working closely with production company Jaunt to develop and produce the live-action content including destination footage.
