Abstract
A system onboard an aircraft includes: a proximity sensor to detect users within an area; a display monitor in the area; a processor; and a processor-readable medium storing executable instructions to perform a method that involves: detecting presence of a user within the area, based on output of the sensor; causing display of an animated digital representation of an assistant on the monitor; controlling the animated digital representation of the assistant to react to speech input; processing speech input of the user to identify at least one action to be carried out onboard the aircraft; controlling the animated digital representation of the assistant to respond to the identified at least one action; and issuing at least one command, instruction, or control signal to the component onboard the aircraft, to initiate the identified at least one action.
