Technology tried and tested by the construction industry is set to be used to create a passenger orientation guide (POG) to help travellers navigate stations and trains in a post-covid-19 world.

The guide is being developed by 360-degree content provider Mission Room and TransPennine Express (TPE). In construction, Mission Room has worked with 3D Repo to create an immersive 4D learning environment for the Balfour Beatty Vinci joint venture working on HS2. Mission Room and TPE have worked together on other projects over the last 18 months that have focused on using immersive technology to help develop staff skills to improve passenger service.

The POG is intended to help reduce passenger anxiety and explain the specific parts of the station and train that relate directly to a passenger’s journey. It is said to take the complexity out of a trip and explain it using simple and immersive images.
