Innovate UK Global Alliance Africa recently partnered with Kenya Airways (KQ) to develop innovative solutions for improving accessibility and navigation at airports. The cutting-edge technologies will enhance and simplify the airport experience for travellers and bring the future of travel to life.
Wonder14 and Gazooky Studios are two UK-based innovators with experience in next generation immersive experiences and no-code augmented reality solutions that have been selected to bring these solutions to life for the airline through an Open Innovation Challenge, delivered by the Innovate UK Global Alliance Africa project.
The interactive technologies proposed by Gazooky and Wonder14 have been tested at Heathrow Airport, showing their effectiveness in addressing travel challenges. After successful trials, these innovative solutions will undergo further testing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. The upcoming tests will evaluate how well the technologies adapt to a different airport environment, specifically catering to the needs of Kenya Airways’ passengers.
