It looks a terrible design to me.
I'd rather go for minimal changes to economy seats to improve the "low hanging fruit" problems that humans have when traveling.
An example? Staggered seats to avoid "elbowing" or "shouldering" - common problem in the US where people are "bigger" than elsewhere, compared to e.g. Asia.
Who am I? A CS engineer with ~1,000 flights in the last 12 years, ~97% in economy, all over the world except Antartica. My comment here is simply based on some common sense. No specific skillset.
"elbowing" or "shouldering" could be eliminated by small vertical separators. These doesn't need to be big - just something separating elbow space and shoulder space to prevent spilling one passenger's body over to another's space.
