New travel gadget: the B-Tourist

A new travel gadget called the B-Tourist was recently introduced to travellers. The gadget is designed for passengers that seek more privacy during their flight. It remains to be seen, however, how travellers will feel about the new product.

Designer Idan Noyberg and Gal Bulka designed the 'B-Tourist'. Though it was created to improve comfort, the initial reaction to this product may mainly be one of amusement..

This is how the product works: the elastic band is attached to the head rest and the chair in front. This allows you to create your own personal space, separate from the rest of the airplane. The band can be widened by using two sliding plastic rings. The travel gadget also has two side pockets, in which the passengers can store their personal belongings. Lastly, the sides of the B-Tourist can also function as a head reast to ensure an uninterrupted travel nap.
