Virtual Reality (VR)/ Augmented Reality (AR) Applications in the Airline Industry. Feasibility and Effects

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Worms, language: English, abstract: The seminar paper explores the effectiveness and feasibility of virtual reality applications in the airline industry. Virtual reality offers numerous advantages, especially when compared to traditional media. This can be used by airlines to safe costs and improve the overall safety of processes, which are regarded as the two main drivers for implicating virtual reality. The technology is used broadly around the airline industry but does not lead to the desired success in every aspect, where the research reveals that there should be a clear distinction between replacing and supporting traditional applications. It is of importance to keep track of technological progress advanced by other industries, taking advantage of the high interest generated for the technology to derive practical applications for airlines.
