By bringing a custom immersive aquarium experience to Meta Quest headsets, this collaboration introduces a new form of in-flight entertainment, offering passengers a calming and interactive escape at 30,000 feet
The Challenge
Lufthansa and Meta have partnered to introduce Meta Quest 3 mixed reality headsets to business class passengers flying in the airline’s newly launched Allegris Business Class.
What We Did
Delivering an aviation-ready mixed reality experience through thoughtful design, performance, and engineering.
Aquarium Experience
We designed and built a calming, interactive underwater world—featuring marine life, spatial sound, and intuitive interactions—crafted to feel like a living aquarium in mixed reality.
Experience Adaptation
We adapted the aquarium experience specifically for in-flight use by redesigning interactions, scale, and motion to work within the seated, enclosed environment of an aircraft cabin.
Hands-Free Interaction
The experience was built with a no-controller, hand-tracking-only interface, allowing passengers to explore, interact, and navigate naturally without physical controllers.
Spatial Cabin Mapping
We adapted the experience to the aircraft fuselage by detecting walls and ceilings, using real cabin surfaces to place shells and marine elements within the passenger’s physical space.
VR + Passthrough Modes
A hybrid experience blends fully immersive underwater scenes with mixed-reality cabin views, giving passengers the freedom to switch between escape and awareness.
Seated Safety Design
All interactions were positioned within safe reach zones to ensure passengers remain seated, comfortable, and clear of surrounding cabin boundaries.
Multi-Language Support
The experience supports multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for Lufthansa’s diverse global passenger base.
The Outcome
Frame Sixty created a custom in-flight mixed reality experience designed to transform how passengers relax, explore, and disconnect while flying at 30,000 feet.
Built for Flight
Seated-safe, offline, and optimized for long-haul comfort.
Experience
A calming escape that transforms flight time into relaxation.
Engagement
An interactive experience that keeps passengers immersed longer.
Globally Accessible
Multi-language, age-friendly, and easy for anyone to use.
