Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) technologies are poised to revolutionize how passengers interact with airport environments. By 2030, these immersive technologies will be used to provide real-time navigation assistance, virtual shopping experiences, and even stress-relief activities. For instance, AR apps could overlay directional arrows on a traveler's smartphone screen, guiding them to their gate or favorite café. Meanwhile, VR experiences could offer passengers a virtual escape during long layovers, ranging from interactive games to virtual tours of their destination city. These innovations will not only enhance convenience but also make the airport experience more engaging and enjoyable.
