The France-based company has designed [personal VR headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-vr-headset) that would enable passengers to enjoy 2D and 3D entertainment from 30,000-feet in the air. Currently in testing phases, the Skylights Theater is likely to become a hit with airlines and passengers alike as soon as it's ready to be rolled out.

The Skylights Theater in-flight entertainment system would also enable passengers to use their own headphones to get a more personalized entertainment experience.
