See what you think of these ideas? Pitched at the Future Travel Experience Innovate Awards: Best New Transformative Concept Judges: Javed Malik, Dr. Joe Leader 📣 Metcove / Spoke "Turning audio announcements into actionable intelligence for a seamless passenger journey." - Guy Vales - CEO Poor quality of airport announcements; 5% are deaf or hard of hearing, 20% don’t speak the language, many more wearing headphones. Spoke captures audio from the airport PA system – then uses AI to transcribe, parse, translate, and understand context – then delivers relevant (location, individual) announcements to customers’ mobile phones (own app or airport/airline app via API) and on large screens in the airport. 👀 NewSense Engineering + Munich Airport International "From Runway to Reality: How 3D Intelligence Transforms Airport Safety and Operations." - Dr. Yang Ji, Founder CEO - Robert Götze, Corporate Security, Munich Airport AI-powered airport operations - uses camera/sensors, processes data/context, builds a real-time digital twin and integrates the airport operations centre to help the airport anticipate and solve problems in logistics, security, paxex, equipment, etc. 🧳 Arrow Analytics, Inc. "What could you do with real-time carry-on baggage data?" - Akku Kumar, CEO Using cameras at the gate and AI image recognition to count and classify the bags in customers' hands. Cumulative data and reporting. Also, real-time gate agent view, anticipate when the overhead bin will be filled.
