Abstract:Wayfinding, a method to communicate to the public about paths of travel, involves various active and passive modes of communication, such as lights, tactile objects, audio signals, and computer based technology to include virtual environments and augmented reality. A current topic in the field of transport category aircraft is the use of internationally recognized symbols in wayfinding. This is proving to be difficult due to the meanings one culture places on certain symbols and how those differ among cultures. In an era of world-wide travel, this could create a deadly scenario as a passenger is attempting to egress from an aircraft in a dangerous situation, such as a fire, and misinterprets the available wayfinding symbology.
