Retractable 65-Inch Cinema Screen
A retractable, 65-inch cinema screen is a main feature of the "Private Lounge". The screen is located under the floor. It glides up from a console when passengers are inside and doors close.

Surround Sound and Visuals
A surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos provides perfect spatial sound. This system includes 42 loudspeakers. Exciters in the seats turn music into a haptic experience. Seven projectors in the headliner and floor expand the field of vision. The side windows become additional "screens". This creates a digital 360-degree experience.
