A system may include an aircraft passenger seat implemented in an aircraft and an aircraft passenger computing device implemented in, on, or in proximity to the aircraft passenger seat. The aircraft passenger computing device may be communicatively coupled to an animal crate assembly onboard the aircraft. The aircraft passenger computing device may include an aircraft passenger display viewable by a passenger and a processor communicatively coupled to the aircraft passenger display. The processor may be configured to: receive sensor data from a sensor implemented in or on the animal crate assembly; receive captured animal crate assembly video data from a camera implemented in or on the animal crate assembly; generate graphical data based on the sensor data and the captured animal crate assembly video data; and output the graphical data to the aircraft passenger display for presentation to the passenger.
