Nov 01, 2019

DUBLIN, Nov. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The “Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR VR) Market in Aviation by Technology (AR, VR), Function (Training, Operations), Component (Hardware, Software), Application (On-Board, Off-Board), Product, Vertical, and Region – Global Forecast to 2025” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The augmented and virtual reality market in aviation is projected to grow from USD 78 million in 2019 to USD 1,372 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 61.2% during the forecast period.

AR VR in aviation enables smoother and efficient operations that lead to cost savings in aviation functions such as manufacturing, maintenance, airport operations, airline operations, aviation training, among others. AR VR provides an immersive and interactive approach that connects the aviation ecosystem to improve the efficiency of various tasks. Smoother airport and airline operations lead to more revenue as aircraft spend less time out of service and more time flying.

Augmented reality (AR) technology permits computer-generated data or imagery to overlay physical objects accurately in real-time. AR enhances the perception of users, and the provided information helps them perform tasks in the real world. The major components of an AR system are displays, sensors, and embedded electronics. It is widely used in areas such as employee training and video conferencing.

Virtual reality (VR) technology provides the user with a virtual environment using computer hardware and software. It provides a fully immersive environment in which the user can interact with objects similar to those in the real world. VR technology works on components such as gesture recognition systems, sensors, and embedded electronics.

Improved passenger experience, reduced chances of human error, and increased demand for higher efficiency and cost savings in aviation have led to an increase in the demand for AR VR technology in aviation.

Apart from a general overview of the major companies in this market, this report also provides financial analyses and information about the products, services, and key developments of major players in the industry. Microsoft Corporation (US), Google Inc. (US), Eon Reality (US), Aero Glass (US), and Upskill (US), are some of the leading players covered in this report.
