Aviation Augmented & Virtual Reality : Rise in Usage of Smart Technology in Aviation

 The global aviation augmented & virtual reality market is experiencing a significant growth due to demand for better passenger experience. Augmented reality (AR) enables interactive experience with a real-world environment by a computer enhanced alteration to the images of the objects from the real-world to provide a composite view. In addition, AR adds digital elements such as visual, auditory, and haptic feedback. Presently, virtual reality (VR) is an interactive simulated experience allowing user to immerse and interact with a computer generated 3-D world through sound & sight. AR & VR in aviation is used for simulation & training of pilots, ground staff, maintenance crew, and mechanics, among others.

Surge in usage of smart technology in aviation, increase in demand for low human intervention system to reduce human error, and rise in adoption of gesture tracking devices are some of the factors that drive the global aviation augmented & virtual reality market. However, high training & system acquisition cost and cybersecurity threats hinder the market growth. On the contrary, heads-up display (HUD) integration with AR & VR, developments in artificial intelligence, and mixed reality present new pathways in the industry.

Airports & airlines are investing in smart technology to improve their operational efficiency to meet the requirements of increasing numbers of air passenger traffic. AR & VR provides cost effective, immersive, and interactive solution for aviation functions such as airline operation, maintenance, airport operation, and aviation training among others. AR & VR enables real-time feedback to trainees during training simulation. Moreover, adoption of 5G is accelerating the integration of VR into in-flight entertainment system for enhanced consumer experience. Such investments in smart technology will drive the global aviation augmented & virtual reality market.

Gesture tracking system is used to track & interact with virtual interfaces of AR & VR. Recently, in 2019, Lenovo (technology company based in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong) collaborated with Clair Air (hardware-agnostic software solution company headquartered in California, US) to develop native hand gesture recognition for Lenovo’s ThinkReality A6 AR headset. Native hand gesture recognition allows users to navigate through native & core operating system functions of AR system. ThinkReality A6 AR headset can be interacted with gestures such as grab, swipe, pinch, and flip among others. Lenovo’s A6 is a lightweight, heads-up, and hands-free mobile head worn device designed to deploy simple & complex AR solutions to enterprises. Such developments in gesture tracking system is expected to drive the global aviation augmented & virtual reality market.
