Trials of AI and Augmented Reality tech to assist special-needs passengers at Glasgow Airport

Glasgow Airport, together with Connected Places Catapult, is set to conduct trials of new technologies designed to aid passengers requiring special assistance. These experiments, part of a broader effort to enhance the airport experience for individuals with disabilities and reduced mobility, will explore advanced tools such as AI and augmented reality for messaging, digital assistance, and sign language translations. Glasgow Airport, known for its commitment to accessibility, is an ideal testing ground for these innovations.

This initiative uses advanced technology to make airport navigation more manageable and improve information access, making air travel more inclusive. By testing these technologies in a live environment, the project hopes to identify practical solutions that can be adopted more widely, ensuring that air travel is accessible to everyone, regardless of mobility or communication needs.
