The Future of Airport Security: Self-Service Screening with Virtual Reality

🔐Self-service security lanes at airports are being developed using virtual reality technology.

🚀Virtual reality allows passengers to experience the future of screening stations and the simplicity of streamlined processes.

🛂All belongings, including carry-on bags, personal items, jackets, and pocket contents, can be screened in a single step.

🤖Avatars provide guidance and reminders throughout the screening process, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.

⏰In cases where passengers require additional assistance or have unresolved items, transportation security officers are available to help.

What happens if I forget something in my pocket?

—The avatar will remind you to place all items, including forgotten items, into the scanner. You can self-resolve the issue without the need for a pat-down or further searches.

What if I have a medical device or something that can't be resolved by myself?

—Transportation security officers are available to assist with any issues that passengers cannot self-resolve, ensuring a safe and efficient screening process.

What happens when there are families with children?

—The specific procedures for families with children are being developed and tested to ensure a smooth and convenient experience for all passengers.

Will self-service screening save time?

—The efficiency of the process depends on how quickly passengers can place their belongings in the scanner. As this technology is developed and refined, it has the potential to save time and reduce the need for pat-downs.

Is this something that passengers would want to use?

—Passenger feedback is crucial in refining and improving the self-service screening system. The goal is to provide passengers with more control over the process and a seamless airport security experience.
