Rokid and Hainan Airlines have unveiled the world’s premier augmented reality (AR) in-flight entertainment system, revolutionizing the way passengers experience air travel.
On the morning of February 7th, passengers aboard Hainan Airlines flight HU7874 from Shenzhen to Xi’an were pleasantly surprised with a remarkable upgrade to their journey.
An Immersive Journey
As passengers settled into their seats, they discovered special glasses awaiting them, heralding the advent of a unique in-flight entertainment experience.
These cutting-edge glasses allowed users an immersive experience in the world of 3D films, in something akin to a high-tech cinema at 30,000 feet.
The glasses boast a 360-inch borderless screen, crystal-clear 1080P resolution, and a seamless 120Hz refresh rate.
Select Hainan Airlines
Starting February 8th and spanning over a month, more than 20 Hainan Airlines flights will feature the Rokid AR Entertainment Kits.
These kits come pre-loaded with an array of captivating 3D offline movies, ensuring passengers can indulge in this novel form of entertainment throughout their journey.

The Viewing Experience
The Rokid team went to great lengths to ensure a successful showing. Rigorous device testing was conducted, resulting in the selection of five of the latest films perfectly suited for viewing during the Lunar New Year festivities.
The Rokid AR Glasses are designed for wearer comfort, weighing a mere 75 grams and boasting a battery life of up to 5 hours.
This allows passengers to effortlessly binge-watch three movies in succession. With dual directional speakers integrated into the glasses, passengers can immerse themselves in high-quality sound without disturbing fellow travelers.
