Alternative Flight Simulator

Gadget-maker Alex Shakespeare has built an "alternative flight simulator, from a passenger's perspective." This allows him to pretend he's flying on a plane, without actually being on one.

He needs to put a row of seats a few inches in front of him to create the full, no-legroom effect.

Reminds me of this video, that came out in 2020 when no one was flying anywhere: https://www.facebook.com/TheDailyBuzzTV/videos/first-class-service-in-the-laundry-room/232947804750318/

It's not a truly realistic passenger-flight simulator if it doesn't come with at least an hour's pre-flight boredom and security theatre.
