Obsideon is a [personal resting place for travelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lepas-l8s-exquisite-space) who aren't too keen on [sleeping on benches or floors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ma-camilla-isabel-reyes). Travelers would log into Obsideon using their boarding passes. Once inside they could select the level of privacy they want, letting them either nap or people-watch in comfort. Obsideon from Roger Kellenberger would also provide gentle reminders to travelers about the status of their flight. I hate planes, but I would love airports if they each had a few of these lounges lying around. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Airport Relaxation Pods:** The rise of airport relaxation pods presents an opportunity for travel industry players to offer premium, privatized relaxation spaces to weary travelers. - **Smart Airport Technology:** The integration of smart airport technology, such as boarding pass and flight status reminders, into relaxation pods presents an innovative space for technology companies to showcase their products. - **Personal Wellness Travel:** The emergence of personal wellness travel has led to the creation of more comfortable, personalized airport experiences for travelers seeking to prioritize their wellbeing. ### Who This Affects Most - **Travel:** The travel industry has an opportunity to offer premium relaxation spaces to travelers seeking comfort and privacy in airports. - **Technology:** Technology companies have an opportunity to showcase the integration of smart airport technology into relaxation pods. - **Wellness:** The wellness industry can further explore personal wellness travel through the creation of more personalized and comfortable airport experiences for travelers seeking relaxation and wellbeing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Airport Sleep Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-dimensions.md) - [High-Performance Travel Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/departures-seating.md) - [Public Airport Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gateway-collection.md) - [Immersive Wellness Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-pod.md) - [Sensory Deprivation Travel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-travel-pillow.md) - [Relaxing Airplane Seat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tranquil-airlines-seating-technology.md) - [Airport Lounge Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-islands.md) - [Face-First Flight Rest Aids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rest-aid.md) - [Sound-Proof Meditation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headspace-pod.md)
