A product case study exploring how mobile‑first control can redefine comfort, service, and information for high‑speed luxury train passengers.
Luxury high‑speed trains are technologically advanced, yet most onboard displays still offer only basic information: next stop, time left, and speed. Meanwhile, passengers increasingly expect hotel‑level service, personalization, and control — all from their personal devices.
