Perhaps airlines should fit blinds which have a central "letter box" slot, perhaps with a fabric covering flap.

1 or 2 days ago the BBC news site had anarticle about using Virtual Reality sims to reassure nervous passengers during turbulence, and part of this research includes using the whole interior space as a screen to project images on to, including virtual images of the scene outside.

I quite like the idea of seeing the virtual view of the plane and surrounding view from a virtual viewing position on the wings or tail, but would soon want to revert to looking at the real world! This aspect of VR projection would of course require the plane to have no windows, but to be fair was described as a research project.
