@wycats most set-top systems, including those of airlines, have been HTML+CSS+JS for 10+ years.
On a United flight with their new entertainment system using a capacitive touch screen. Pretty sure it's using web tech. Can anyone confirm?

@pbakaus this one had mediocre (but tolerable) touch/swipe support -
@wycats that's fairly new then. I worked on one that had touch input (sort of) in 2005. super crappy browser though. -
@pbakaus you had to complete the swipe before any animations occurred (no direct manipulation) which is common (sadly) on the mobile web -
@wycats instant gesture recognition is sometimes a really hard issue though (see kinect). But yeah, swiping pages is relatively simple ;)
