Mumbai International Airport launched the first ever [indoor navigation app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navigation-system) for India, using [augmented reality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/historic-ar-experience) to make the journey inside Terminal 2 seamless. The app uses a combination of beacon technology and push notifications to aid users through processes like getting ready to depart or book a taxi service. The app also offers an in-depth virtual walkthrough of different parts of the airport to make it a little more familiar to first-time visitors. As well as helping travelers curate their own "[experiential tour](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-aipowered-travel)" of the airport, this app is a huge part in keeping guests informed and the terminal quiet, since it has cut down on making public announcements. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Indoor Navigation Apps:** There is a growing trend of using augmented reality for indoor navigation in airports. - **Beacon Technology:** Beacon technology is being used to aid users in various processes within airports. - **Virtual Walkthroughs:** Virtual walkthroughs are becoming popular in airport apps to familiarize first-time visitors with the layout. ### Where This Applies - **Airport Technology:** The airport technology industry can benefit from the development of augmented reality apps for navigation and assistance. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can leverage augmented reality apps to enhance the airport experience for travelers. - **Mobile App Development:** The mobile app development industry can explore opportunities in creating innovative indoor navigation apps using augmented reality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Airport-Focused Digital Navigation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-navigation-system.md) - [Inclusive Airport Navigation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-navigations.md) - [AI Airport Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-aberdeen.md) - [AI Navigation Upgrades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tmap-mobility.md) - [Airport-Navigation App Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-updates.md) - [Upgraded Airlines Mobile Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airlines-mobile-app.md) - [Airport Mobility Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobility-hubs.md) - [Inclusive Airport Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/be-my-eyes2.md) - [AR-Enabled Airport Vodka Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swipe-back.md)
