    Cool ideas for future travel

    What will travel be like in the year 2070?

    In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. Let's take a look at some amazing ideas from The Future Travel Report.

    Heartbeat passport

    Paper passports (PBE)will be a thing of the past. You will use "heartbeat(心跳)passports" instead. According to scientists, everyone's heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are.

    More comfortable flight

    The seats on the plane will no longer be "one size fits all". You'll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device(未来设备)could show movies straight in front of your eyes.

    Printed clothes and food

    If you hate packing(打包)clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan(扫描). And when you arrive, you'll find a room filled with 3D printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat.

    Bring history back to life

    If you like to visit historic sites(历史古迹), AR will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous war. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games.
