If you’ve ever wanted to get your game on at 20,000 feet, Innovative Advantage has paved the way with an audio, video, and data distribution system (AVDS) the company is introducing at NBAA-BACE this week.
Innovative Advantage's mission objective is simple: Make high-speed gaming happen on business aircraft. At the company's booth in the exhibit hall, BACE attendees can see how games on consoles like Xbox can be played on private aircraft.
“We're gonna let people play video games through our system and see. If you know any hardcore gamers, latency frame rate is a really, really big deal to them. So they can come and see that it's perfectly in sync; there's low latency,” Greg Cornell, president of Innovative Advantage, told AIN.
Cornell noted that younger generations are beginning to fly private, and with that, demand has grown for low-latency video streaming and gaming capabilities.
“As the age of passengers goes down, there's a growth and desire for gaming,” he said. “Our systems are uniquely positioned to allow for some really cool gaming capabilities on the aircraft. You can start playing games—online games—on your airplane, which I think is gonna be really, really cool.”
