AirPod, a Private “Capsule Style” Unit Transforming Travel & Napping

Even though each AirPod provides a reprieve from the noise and stress of the airport, it offers so much more. There are many advantages to using the capsule, including relieving stress and helping you feel more relaxed.

If you’ve ever been stuck at the airport waiting for your delayed flight, you’ve probably indulged in some daydreaming. Perhaps you’ve pictured yourself falling asleep on a comfortable bed and waking up refreshed and fully rejuvenated.

The reality is that the hustle and bustle of an airport terminal is not conducive to any kind of relaxation exercise, right? Thanks to the AirPod, that doesn’t have to be the case anymore.

About AirPod

AirPod is full of cutting-edge technologies that enable users to undertake tasks in total privacy and comfort while still remaining in the heart of a public or commercial space. AirPod will encompass features to enhance the user experience such as Wi-Fi, touch screen monitor, air condition, sound reduction technology, privacy blinds in smart glass, mood lighting and anti-stress program.

With AirPod sleek, ergonomic design, it could be slot into a multitude of surroundings. However, we have made the decision to first introduce AirPod into major airport hubs. After months of strategic analysis, the AirPod team concluded that airports are the ideal first setting to introduce AirPods. To help pioneer this introduction, we are developing a partnership with one of the largest companies in the business to help us facilitate the distribution within the largest international airports around the globe.

Passengers around the world can spend several hours waiting for their flight in airport terminals. Most of them are subjected to delays, extended transfers, or long check-in times and are forced to spend their time in a busy, bustling terminal with little, to no privacy. AirPod offers users a convenient and affordable way to maximize and enjoy their time spent in these airport terminals (and eventually other locations such as transit hubs, shopping areas, and offices).

Present alternatives are simple. For private space, there is uncomfortable terminal chairs or paying for a Lounge area. For sleeping, there is booking a nearby hotel. The AirPod team took the time to analyze current “privacy pods” offered in some airports, but the results were not impressive. Current privacy pods are deficient in many ways and are only aimed at those looking to sleep, not work. They are small, dark, and are often referred to as feeling like “staying in a coffin”. AirPod will give its users a balanced, comfortable space that will offer free Wi-Fi, comfort, privacy, security and relaxation. For the first time travelers will have the opportunity to read their favorite book, watch movies, listen to the music or just get that extra bit of sleep to help them recharge and relax. The AirPods are designed with health, relaxation, and functionality in mind.

How Does It Enhance the User Experience?

AirPod aims to address one of the biggest challenges passengers face at the airports, and that is, waiting for hours for their flights in the terminals. The case becomes worse if the flight is expectedly late by a couple of hours, or there are extended transfers or even long check-in times. The passengers have no option but to wait in a busy, noisy terminal with no privacy.

AirPod brings to passengers a convenient and economical way to maximize and enjoy their time in these terminals, as well as other locations like shopping areas, transit hubs, and offices. The current options are unable to cater the relaxing and privacy needs. For a private space, there are uncomfortable chairs or paid lounge areas. For sleeping, a nearby hotel is to be booked. The AirPod team has carefully analyzed all the current pods available in some airports and found unsatisfactory results. These privacy pods are only meant for sleeping, with a small, dark coffin-looking shape.

AirPod offers users a comfortable and a balanced space embedded with Wi-Fi, security, comfort, privacy, and relaxation. For the first time ever, passengers will be able to read books, watch movies, listen to music, or get a sound sleep in a peaceful and private environment. The model of AirPod unit combines functionality, health, and relaxation aspects.

The key features include:

Free High-speed Wi-Fi for all users
Free access to Amazon Fire TV
Power sockets (USB/electricity)

Luggage and personal belongings storage

A high-quality seat that transforms into a bed

PRIVACY

With the capsule’s smart-glass technology, outsiders will not be able to see what’s going on inside your capsule, allowing you to completely enjoy your private time. Because of this, these capsules allow you to change your perception of airport traveling. You’re probably used to having almost no privacy when sitting on those uncomfortable airport benches, but with the AirPod, that’s a thing of the past.

SECURITY

AirPods will be located beyond the security gates to ensure the highest level of security possible. Not only will you be safe and secure in the capsule, but your personal items will be too. There is ample space for your luggage, handbag and other items to be safely stored while you relax.

COMFORT

Remember daydreaming about taking a relaxing nap? AirPod can make that a reality. Because its comfortable chair converts into a bed, each AirPod can be easily transformed into a luxurious and functional sleeping pod. This makes it an ideal overnight option for those unexpected travel delays.

WE KEEP IT CLEAN

If you are planning to spend quite a bit of time in the capsule, you may be concerned about cleanliness. However, there’s no need to worry as each AirPod has a self-disinfecting LED system. It produces a high-quality white light that provides continuous disinfection through precisely engineered wavelengths of visible light.

Laboratory and controlled-room experiments show that up to 90% of bacteria were removed in a treated environment per day. In addition, this system meets all international standards for human safety and light exposure.

To ensure complete cleanliness, each previously used AirPod is physically checked by one of our highly skilled team members before it is used by the next customer.
