Abstract
A method and system are provided for generating imagery of a virtual window within an aircraft cabin. The method may be implemented using computer executable instructions, loaded onto a personal entertainment device (PED) for configuring the PED to link to an aircraft inflight entertainment system (IFE) and access imagery, such as imagery from at least one camera directed to an environment outside of the aircraft. The imagery is displayed on a surface visible to the passenger, and formatted to simulate an aircraft window.
