Virgin Atlantic is introducing training technology that allows the airline’s cabin crew to use augmented reality to familiarize themselves with new aircraft.
Using an iOS app, cabin crew use augmented reality to walk through and acquaint themselves with the layout of Virgin Atlantic’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner, without visiting the airport or entering the plane.
To complement the existing classroom-based training, this app allows crew members to see the cabin projected as a portal in front of them and are able to ‘walk into’ the cabin.
The AR app simulates the full-size view of the interior cabin, giving crew a feel for their new working environment, including accurate spatial awareness.
