Thesis Statement
Airports are very confusing and very crowded to navigate through, creating a rough experience. I want to research and understand people’s experiences and difficulties at the airport so I can create a solution that would rely on better wayfinding, machine learning, and augmented reality to make their experience more fluid and easier.

Abstract
There are navigation apps such as Google Maps and Waze that use artificial intelligence or machine learning to find the fastest and safest route to drive from point A to point B and provide a relatively accurate estimated time of arrival. But this technology can go further than just roads. This technology can help people in a place where it is crowded, have unpredictable wait times, confusing navigation, and have a few people rushing to make it in on time. I am talking about airports.

My objective is to create a mobile app that would help people navigate through a busy and confusing airport by providing times to leave point A to point B. Also, to provide an interactive map that will help guide users through the airport. With time and machine learning, it will provide a more accurate scenario and develop a schedule that will prevent users from being late or missing their flight. And for those who are unfamiliar with airports or cannot read the airport signs because of a language barrier, my product can use augmented reality to have a clear understanding.

The methods of research will be surveying people who have ridden on a plane, interviewing airport workers, and analyzing existing apps that fail to achieve the results I am looking for. In the end, my product will be a mobile app that can help ease the stress of navigating through an airport.

Idea
Introducing
Checkpoint
An airport app that will help users navigate through any airport and manage their time accordingly to make it to their flight on time.
Automatic Scheduler (Checkpoints)
Checkpoints with location and recommended times will be generated based on time of flight and time of day.
Navigation
Similar to Google Maps, use navigation to go to a checkpoint or find a certain place in the airport.
Augmented Reality (AR)
Use your phone’s camera to help you navigate through an airport or use it to translate or get more information on any sign.
Virtual Assistant
Use virtual assistant by speaking or typing a command or question for quick help, navigation, or search.
