The Flight towards Digital Reality

Eminent infrastructure, optimum safety and unimpaired operations are the pillars on which the infrastructure industry thrives. And aviation players are constantly striving for improvement by making significant upgrades and implementing Digital Realities like AR, VR and MR in the way they operation.

The growth of AR and VR in the Aviation Market

Recent statistics show that the augmented and virtual reality market in aviation stood at $78 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 61.2% to reach $1,372 million by 2025. This estimate amounts to a significant 12% share of the projected market size of the entire global aviation industry by 2025. Up surged demand for operational efficiency along with cost savings is one of the many factors for this boosted growth of AR and VR in the aviation market. Digital reality provides an immersive approach that has bolstered the performance of the aviation sector, thereby bringing in a high degree of precision and promptness.

Applications of Augmented and Virtual Reality in Aviation

The ways in which AR and VR are being applied in the aviation industry are very utilitarian and varied. Unlike the days of training with replica cockpits, with Virtual reality, all a pilot needs now is a headset and joystick to train. Through Virtual Reality it is becoming increasing possible to practically train the cabin crew for situations like hijacks, passengers falling ill or even possible plane crashes. VR also comes in handy for training the ground crew for repairs & maintenance and training the aviation engineers through immersive learning models. By offering VR headsets to passengers for entertainment and to those passengers who are claustrophobic, commercial airlines are boosting the quality of their services. According to a survey, about 85% of aviation accidents happen due to errors made by pilots. This is where Augmented reality becomes a necessary innovation and solution to bring safety to the aviation operations. AR navigations allow pilots to take decisions while focusing on a glass screen in front of them, thereby reducing the risk of distractions. Pilots can also have a 360-degree view of statistics and virtual images that make air traffic clearly visible to them. Aircraft assembly and maintenance is another task made efficiently possible with Augmented reality through gesture-controlled apps and 3-D scanning.
