Application of Augmented Reality in Airports: Nature-Inspired Design

Technological progress has gradually become an essential part of everyday life. Since the late twentieth century, it has strongly influenced the development of augmented reality and virtual reality, technologies that allow users to interact with digital elements integrated into the real environment. Through these systems, people can explore virtual spaces and engage with interactive content in new and dynamic ways. In recent years, the use of augmented reality in airports has attracted growing interest, particularly in relation to improving passenger experience and facilitating orientation within complex spaces. This paper proposes a conceptual approach for integrating augmented reality through a set of graphic symbols inspired by elements found in nature, especially flora. These visual elements are designed to animate airport spaces and create a more pleasant visual environment, while also reducing the rigid and highly anthropogenic character that often defines airport infrastructure. The proposed concept highlights how nature-inspired visual design, combined with augmented reality technologies, can contribute to a more engaging and intuitive airport environment.
