First-time EBACE exhibitor Gotham Studios (Booth W133) is demonstrating its GojiBox moving map and in-flight entertainment system this week at the show. Gotham Studios, an Emmy-winning entertainment production company in Washington, in collaboration with Rajco Services, the industry's leading expert on cabin and connectivity systems, on the GojiBox, which can generate custom content—narrated by celebrities—for aircraft owners and charter companies.

 


Components are simple: a compact, lightweight server (12 cm/5 inches square by 5 cm/2 inches thick and 1.2 kg/2.6 pounds) that connects to navigation data, power, and the cabin wireless system, drawing no more than 50 watts of power. Passengers connect to the Wi-Fi and enjoy custom content created by Gotham Studios that syncs to the airplane’s location and, if desired, the passengers’ interests.

 


The Goji/GeoRadio consists of a proprietary software application and a content library. The app reads location data from the flight data management system of the aircraft;&nbsp;checks location against a database of geo-tagged audio assets, and then creates a playlist of assets pertaining to the aircraft's current position, bearing, altitude, and distance to destination; and serves these assets in a sequence to create a continuously playing program that includes interactive moving maps (2D and 3D).

 


GeoRadio allows passengers to hear a show about the people and places they are passing, while 4K GeoVideo sequences with the audio to display footage of the scenery below the airplane and scenes from the destination. All this plays on both built-in cabin displays and passenger devices connected to the system.

 


GojiBox also offers up photos of every spot the airplane flies, with updated information on places to visit, dine, and shop, along with a terabyte’s worth of audiovisual on-demand movies and digital content. Goji points of interest have already been integrated into commercial and business aircraft for several years. This is the first time the product will be hosted in its own hardware component.

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
