Ludenso is an educational technology company located in Norway. This time, two co-founders Ingrid Skrede (Chief Marketing Officer) and Harald Manheim (Chief Technology Officer) join us from Oslo and bring us some fresh information about augmented reality (AR), education, publishing, and more important: what we can achieve when we integrate the three of them together. 

Ingrid firstly explains the meaning of Ludenso and how the name ties into the company. Harald illustrates what AR is and how it’s been put to use in technology, education, gaming, and many other fields. They then share valuable insights from the perspectives of research, production, and relevance to the metaverse. Hopefully, their efforts in reshaping the learning process with the power of AR and publishing can be inspiring to you as well.

First, Gogo recently revealed that equipage of its 2Ku inflight connectivity system to aircraft only takes two days. John explains how the firm achieved this remarkable install time and why it's good news for the multiple airlines which are rolling out the broadband offering.

Next, Delta Air Lines will soon be flying the Airbus A350, becoming the first North American operator of the type! This aircraft will feature a passenger-pleasing 9-abreast configuration (which is standard). And it was fitted with 2Ku by the Airbus Corporate Jet center, before being delivered to the airline. Savvy travelers are excited about this aircraft. John informs us about what some of the #PaxEx will be like on board the A350 with 2Ku, and talks about Gogo's latest stats on passengers' smart phone/tablet versus laptop usage in-flight.

Last but not least, global connectivity provider iPass recently announced it is offering very cost efficient plans that cover connectivity across airports, hotels and in-flight on Gogo-fitted US domestic aircraft and on some Panasonic Ku-fitted international aircraft. Co-hosts Max Flight and Mary Kirby talk to John about why seamless connectivity across all touchpoints of the passenger experience is so important, and why there are still opportunities to improve.

First, Panasonic recently unveiled its NEXT inflight entertainment and connectivity system, which will debut in full on the Boeing 777X. Co-hosts Max Flight and Mary Kirby get the low-down from Jon about what this platform ecosystem will mean for the passenger experience.

Next, we hear a lot about how nose-to-tail connectivity on aircraft will improve operations (and indeed safety). Panasonic is on the forefront of aircraft e-enablement; Jon gives us update on some of the progress being made, and how are airlines benefitting.

Finally, it’s no secret that #PaxEx suppliers benefit from gaining what’s called “linefit offerability” with airframers, as it means that their systems and services are offered as part of the airframer’s catalogue, and can be installed for airlines on the production line. But Runway Girl Network has observed some confusion in the market. Since we have Jon on the show, he discusses the difference between what constitutes “linefit” versus “retrofit”, and explains why we’re seeing aircraft roll off the line with antenna radomes atop their fuselages, but no antennas under the hood. "One of the things which I think probably isn't fully understood is the level of qualification and certification that you have to go through to get approval from an airframer for linefit is above the level of qualification and certification required for retrofit because airframers tend to have higher levels of expectations of how that system should interact, be integrated with their aircraft," says Norris.

This week on Shunya One, Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya, Kuldeep Dhankar and Amit Doshi discuss Nokia Comeback, SaaS, Sales and Mobile Markets.

Welcome to CYOP Season 3! I'm very excited to kick off this new season with a four-interview series focused on those who are making physical products for a living. Sarah Perez of Electric Sun Creatives is my first guest and I had an opportunity to chat with her in her beautiful studio at the Warehouse Artist Lofts here in Sacramento, California.

If you're not familiar with Sarah's work, she makes really striking wall hangings and mobiles using found driftwood (along with other wood products) and brass. In the interview, we talk through Sarah's recent press coverage through social media and how it's changed the way she manages the logistical side of running her business. We also go into her material choices, how she ended up making the products she does today and how she plays with limits to spark her own creativity.

There is an underpinning of excitement around the world about the introduction of the new Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo narrowbodies, whose added range will allow airlines to open up a raft of new routes. "You basically have a more efficient airplane that allows airlines to do on the shorthaul what the 787 has been doing on the longhaul," says Miller, citing, for example, Norwegian's plans to transform the Atlantic with a fleet of 737 MAXs. Naturally, co-hosts Max Flight and Mary Kirby also talk to Mike about how #PaxEx should change when airlines deploy 737 MAXs and A320neos on international routes.

Even as international routes are being opened up with new types, the US regional aviation industry is in crisis right now. This is squarely a result of the pilot shortage, suggests. He concedes that there are pockets of hope - as start-ups like GLO and Boutique Air carve our local air service niches - but says these do not regional airline renaissance. We mull the current state of play for regionals.

Meanwhile, there is some good news on the #PaxEx front for travelers in the US. American Airlines and United Airlines are reintroducing complementary snacks, joining Delta, which has long distributed free Biscoff cookies to hungry domestic passengers. But do these small #PaxEx touches really matter to passengers. We talk turkey about the changes; and consider the next #PaxEx battleground for airlines.

Virtual Reality headsets are making a big splash at International CES in Las Vegas, with the likes of Sony, Samsung, HTC and FaceBook’s Oculus Rift jockeying for headlines this week. VR is already in use for training purposes in aerospace, and indeed airline passengers will ultimately try to escape reality – perhaps particularly in super-snug economy class – with their own VR headsets, but will airlines adopt the devices as inflight entertainment? And how might they support VR-wearing passengers with great content? Co-hosts Max Flight and Mary Kirby ask Scott about the white paper he penned on this very topic. He provides some powerful commentary about the use case for VR in aviation.

Next, the Internet of Things is another major theme at CES, with production models of smart cars, smart home appliances and smart lights attracting lots of attention. We’ve talked a bit about how IoT will impact aviation in the past. But Scott, whose company is in the business of connecting aircraft – and ultimately streaming information from aircraft systems over those broadband pipes – has unique insight into the likely applications for IoT in the aircraft environment. And he addresses both the safety and security concerns associated with connecting aircraft from nose to tail.

Last but not least, we take the opportunity to ask Scott about his “must have” gadgets when traveling, and which brand new devices spark his interest. He explains why this year’s CES is generally more evolutionary than revolutionary.

Southwest Airlines is the latest in a growing list of publicly traded companies appearing to stretch the truth in their comments to the press about #PaxEx improvements. The carrier recently revealed a new seat for its new 737NGs and 737 MAXs but the seat doesn’t seem to live up to prior claims about being wider. John has observed this story play out since the initial announcement at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg. He explains why he's very concerned over Southwest's obfuscation. Southwest is not alone in its PR shenanigans. During the recent APEX Expo in Portland, Oregon, defense contractor BAE Systems also played loose with its message to press. Co-host Mary Kirby details what transpired when BAE made the claim that it had received clearance from two Hollywood studios - including one of the 'big six' major studios - to stream early window movie content to passengers' own devices. Are we in new media territory, where corporations are not held to their word by the press?

Next, it would be hard not to miss the recent news that Airbus has filed a patent for a ‘flying bunk bed’; in fact virtually every major media title has covered the story. But this application follows a long litany of wacky patent applications for aircraft seats. In this episode, we discuss the viability of the design, how the patent process is being used for publicity, and how Airbus' application is in fact part of a broader Intellectual Property strategy being pursued by aircraft airframers and seatmakers. John also makes the case for why the click-bait articles about these patent applications are creating a harmful narrative that feeds into the notion that airlines and airframers don't care about economy class passengers.

And last but not least, we’d like to talk to John about his recent trip to Iceland, where he uncovered a compelling story about how Icelandair is using sensors and connectivity to put itself on the forefront of weather forecasting. We look at how the IoT of aviation is actually becoming a reality. And John shares a report about his overall travel experience in the gorgeous country of Iceland.
