AirPod Sleeping Pod - Transforming the Travel and Napping Industries L I G H T PA P E R
Transforming waiting in transit
into an experience.
Our mission is simple: to improve the traveler’s experience by building a unit to Relax, Work,
Sleep and Have fun in complete privacy while waiting in transit. We will achieve this by creating
AirPod Sleeping Pod, a state-of-the-art product that meets the needs of the traveler and develop
a platform for marketing those pods on different markets, starting with airports and potential
use in hotels, railway & bus stations, shopping centers, offices and more, wherever people are
seeking an area to relax, work or have work in privacy.
We believe we can become the market leader and the first choice among travelers who need and
want to use such services at affordable prices. AirPod project is entering a booming industry of
international travel, specifically the segment of global airport sleeping pods market. Airports are
the perfect place for AirPods, hence the name AirPod.
Blockchain technology is essential for our business growth and strategy, that is why we are
looking for community support and contribution to our business model during the Crowdsale
event.
Challenge of Transit Passenger
Passengers around the world can spend several hours waiting for their flight at airport terminals.
They are subjected to delays, extended transfers, or long check-in times and are forced to
spend their time in a busy, bustling terminal with little, to no privacy. They have to satisfy with
uncomfortable terminal chairs or pay for a Lounge area. For sleeping, they can book a nearby
hotel.
With growing passenger traffic, stakeholders and governments are focusing on enhancing
airport infrastructure with sophisticated installations. Airport operators are planning to improve
the passenger experience by providing value-added services, such as sleeping pods within the
terminal building as cost-effective resting areas. First sleeping pods were installed in Europe at
Helsinki Airport in 2013. Since then, several airports have followed.
Current sleeping pods are targeting mostly those looking for sleep, not work. They are small,
dark, and are often referred to as feeling like “staying in a coffin”. In recent years, there has been a
growing demand for capsule sleeping pods, which are more effective and flexible for passengers
during a flight delay or transit flight.
“ Emergence of smart airport concepts will drive the demand in the
airport sleeping pods market. Seeing the growing deployment of the
internet of everything enabled intelligent airport infrastructure along
with the increasing investments in technological advancements,
International Air Transport Association and Airports Council
International jointly proposed the concept of smart airports.

The AirPod Capsule
We want to improve customer experience and offer travelers a balanced,
comfortable and affordable space that will offer free Wi-Fi, comfort, privacy,
security and relaxation.
AirPod Capsule is a private “capsule style” designed with health, relaxation, and
functionality in mind. By combining the latest technologies of special awareness,
ergonomics, light, sensory, and vision we developed a comprehensive solution for
transit passengers. The technology and range of services available in an AirPod
fills a gap in the market for luxury services at affordable prices and offers a very
similar alternative to the various already existing VIP lounges at airports.

ADVANTAGES. METHODS (smell, vision and hearing).
We have integrated anti-stress technology that Relaxes & Revitalizes, since stress is a major
issue that our users have in common. According to scientific studies, various scents, sounds and
colors stimulate cognitive recognition in the brain. That is why AirPod has integrated technology,
which targets our three most important senses – smell, vision and hearing. During a 15-minute
treatment, all three senses are being monitored by the Biofeedback device (before and after
effect).
Our vision is to see AirPods implemented in every major airport across the globe before moving
onto the smaller airports. We believe AirPod will become the ultimate unit for rest, relaxation, and
privacy within airports (and later other locations).

Empowering business model
with BLOCKCHAIN
We see the potential of blockchain use wider than what is thought of it currently. Our belief is
that evolution of industry will exceed the boundaries in a similar way as the use of internet did.
Next to implementation of our token (one of the ways to rent our AirPod), blockchain will be
used in the development of our DApp platform. Primary purpose of the DApp platform is general
management, economic overview, and control of the individual AirPod units. At the same time it
is enabling complete transparency, helping us control and grow our business. Blockchain will be
used to provide a payment system for the AirPod online booking system, through which users
will be able to search, reserve, rent and pay for AirPods units (FIAT or the APOD token), and trade
APOD tokens. This will be implemented in Stage 1 of the project. For the purpose of general
management, economic overview and control of the individual Air- Pod unit, we are developing
a platform, available at Stage 2 and 3. The Stage 2/3 platform will also be a marketplace where
users will be able to trade Sponsorship Programs. This platform will use Blockchain technology
to verify contracts.
DApps (Decentralized Applications) will be dedicated to advanced business users, who will
want to analyze the performance of each AirPod and create a Sponsorship Program agreements.
These applications will be deployed as Smart Contracts on the Ethereum blockchain along with
efficiency and price performance data of each AirPod. Users will be able to evaluate each location
or each AirPod and enter the bidding process to certain percentage Sponsorship program.
The key to project success and exponential growth is an ecosystem, which connects all AirPods
in various locations around the world with a platform that enables distribution in a franchise
model based on the Blockchain technology.
Blockchain enables faster, cheaper and more transparent processes
on DApp platform:
Conventional Way
• Auditing
• Preparation and coordination of legal opinions and contracts
enforcement (the relationship between participants)
• Signing agreements
• Sales (further on: Trade) “rights” on profits made by Airpod
unit (automated processes)
• Transparency – tracking and permissions
• Cross-border Payments
Blockchain
• + Smart Contract and token solves all of the mentioned problems
