An interactive aircraft cabin window display system (1) and a method for interactive visualization of information in an aircraft cabin (102) are described. The display system (1) comprises a display assembly DA (3) integratable into an aircraft cabin window (106), a passenger monitoring assembly PMA (7), an environment monitoring assembly EMA (110) and an information visualization assembly IVA (5). The DA (3) is adapted for displaying variable images on a screen (9) such as a semi-transparent screen integrated in the aircraft cabin window (106). The PMA may be implemented using for example an eye-tracking camera (11) or a touch-screen (9') and is adapted for detecting a direction into which a passenger is looking or pointing through the aircraft cabin window (106). The EMA (110) is adapted for acquiring a representation such as an image of an environment outside the aircraft cabin window (106). The IVA (5) is adapted for visualizing information on the screen (9) at specific locations selected by taking into account the representation acquired by the EMA (110) and taking into account the direction detected by the PMA (7). Accordingly, the interactive display system (1) may detect to which object a passenger is currently looking or pointing and may interactively provide additional information about this object of interest, thereby improving the passenger's flight experience. |
