Flying to new skyline through Immersive Technology

With increasing complexity, high-risk business environment and intense competition, aviation is constantly on the lookout for technological enhancements to maintain cost efficiency, improve safety, increase employee productivity, and above all, deliver enriched customer experiences. In this digital era of industry4.0, immersive technology — Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) could reinvigorate the end user experience.

The journey to ascension starts with airport simulation and this simulation model is a feasible and effective approach to train ground staff to model passenger movements in airports.

OBJECTIVE

The project aims to provide training to the ground staff on operating the passenger stairs. The instructions are fed into VR headsets to provide a realistic walk-through to ground staff to incorporate learnings from actual flight operations.

SOLUTION

This simulation model provides a convenient way for space design and service allocations, which contributes to the enhancement of ground staff experiences.

WORKFLOW

Steps involved in the training process

  • Step by step instructions to operate passenger stairs is fed into any VR headset
  • Trainees have to follow each step in proper order to jump into the next respective stage of training.
  • Scores of trainees are captured as per their performance in each training level.
  • The simulation comprises — trainee view and trainer view.
  • In trainee view, one’s own interactions can be captured and in trainer view every action chosen by the trainee can be invigilated by the trainer.
  • The trainer can provide proper instruction to the trainees through message passing.

In aviation industries, emergency situations can be simulated through VR headsets in a risk-free environment. By incorporating immersive technologies, the need for dedicated aircrafts and trainers can be reduced thus saving time and cost. Immersive technologies steer this industry towards an efficient future of emerging opportunities.
