I suggest having a look at the ICE (Information Communication
Entertainment) system used by Emirates. Really simple easy to use,
but the screens themselves are sometimes not that responsive, needing
to be touched 2 or 3 times in some cases (sometimes a surprisingly
hard push is needed)...

It is a good book, although I think he goes a bit overboard against
engineers IMHO.

Yes, he seems to be thinking differently now ... in Cooper's keynote at
Interaction08, he talks about engineers as fellow craftsmen.
Ben Galbraith has a good summary in his blog post:

Yes, that's funny. I've been an engineer and for many years (28+) I
did see how we designed and developed UI's, some were pretty bad, and
some pretty decent. Often we accused of putting everything and the
kitchen sink in the UI, cause that's what we as engineers would want.
Then I started

I'm guessing that the screens are resistive (pressure-based), and so
no multitouch. Which is ok, because multitouch is probably too complex
for your users anyway.
- Think simple actions; taps, mostly. If you do add in more complex
patterns (Slide to Scroll, for instance), be sure you add
Hey guys and gals,
I am doing some a proof of concept for an aeroplane IFE (in flight
entertainment) system.
Note: The interface is touchscreen and will not allow for Dan Saffer
gesture-based loveliness L
Any papers, usability best practices, IFE examples would be much
appreciated.
You should have a look at Air New Zealand's in flight entertainment
system. It was designed by Al Cooper, I believe. Is very usable and
is a great example of IxD.

Virgin America's Red system has been getting lots of press (though I assume
if you're working in this space, you'll already have heard of it).
