Are we focusing too much on making in-flight entertainment user interfaces (UIs) "cool" instead of ensuring they are functional and useful for all users? I recently discussed this with a colleague while reviewing the UI of an Asian airline's seatback IFE. As tempting as it is to let 'cool' lead the way, a UI that looks good but doesn't effectively address user experience, solve concerns, or meet needs for all users is ultimately unsuccessful. Prioritizing utility ensures the interface is practical and beneficial, whereas focusing on coolness may create initial excitement but doesn't provide lasting value and most likely will increase costs.
