What do you think about few cameras streaming live from different points of the aircraft and the passengers having the possibility to switch between them, or between live and a geosynchronized prerecorded day or night flight with a clear sky ? Would be a perk for the middle aisle seats...

This is already the case on some flights. I know we had this on a KoreanAir A380 from LAX to Seoul a few years ago. The view was kind of underwhelming, for the most part.
What about a camera pointed straight ahead (maybe slightly downward) on each wingtip, and VR (binocular) headsets?
I think that if people get a 10% cut in the ticket price, they'll happily sit in a box with no windows and no substitute for windows.
