Part of the reason for windows has always been that they provide orientation for passengers getting off in an emergency. Somehow I doubt the screens will be working properly in an emergency. Additionally, it seems that the angle would be off if looking further to the front or rear. Otherwise it does seem it would provide greater flexibility to the engineers in not requiring windows.

Wow - 360 degrees of animated advertisements!

This is a good idea, structurally much easier to construct an aircraft without windows.

A couple of points: * passenger observation of mechanical faults or failures eg engine fire * what if you don't want to look out ie previously close the blinds * night flights passenger observation of mechanical faults

This arrangement wouldn't work as expected. Imagine a real window at seat row 2. A passenger from row 1 looking through this window would see the view towards the rear. A passenger from row 3 would see, through the same window, a view towards the front.
But a screen doesn't work this way. The portion of the video screen at row 2 would show the same view regardless of the angle you look at it.
A small screen next to your seat might work adequately, but with a long panoramic screen as shown, the flatness of the picture would be obvious. The effect would be like a long picture painted on the wall, not an actual window.

If it becomes possible to provide some way of removing the windows from aircraft that is acceptable to passengers, then whole new design configurations become possible, such as a flying wing with no fuselage in the strictest sense of the term.
I must admit, I would love to have a screen showing the images from a forward facing camera. It would make take-off and landing a joy, especially if accompanied by a live stream from a fight-deck mike.

May want to look up the history of windows on flight vehicles, especially spaceflight...the notorious events leading to windows in space capsules may provide a good example.

RE. thangavelu-girardey Could you be more specific please? Any specific missions I should search for?

Why not give passenger head mounted display and when the bathroom is dirty it will look clean. Even save money on cleaning.' AAHHH, imagine dump of a airplane and it can look high class luxury at fraction of a cost. Better yet issue all passenger the display before they board and viola best ratings! Hey just kidding.

Great idea! The same idea could be used for office buildings- eliminate the windows, put a few cameras outside and a screen in everybody's office. Everyone in the cube-farm could have a window with a view of their choosing. I am pretty sure the video screens would be cheaper than windows and would allow some more freedom in architectural design.
