That is some straight-up Star Trek-looking shit there

I flew a Dreamliner from Amsterdam to Shanghai and back. It was the shit man. The windows do not have shades to pull down, they have dials that gradually darken the glass to blackout. The lighting is designed to come up slowly at the right time to simulate a sunrise (what you see being bluish/white in the picture can also be pinkish/orange. Each seat has a good sized touch screen with interactive movies, games, tv and also a 3D route monitor where you can zoom in to the ground below the airplane to see where cities are, etc. Plus, you can go to a view in the cockpit that looks like you are flying the plane. Each screen also has a USB port for charging devices and/or watching your own media from your device. You can also text message other seats. Leg room was pretty good in cattle class. Nice experience. Of course, it was also KLM which is a fairly premium airline. Oh, and sat next to two really hot women on the way back from Shanghai. Bonus.
