Visualising infrastructure
Luminova creates visual representations of large-scale systems—like airports, roads, or rail networks—to help people understand and interact with complex environments.
Luminova turns intricate infrastructure designs and technical plans into 3D models—and then brings them to life through animated walkthroughs that visually tell the story of how these systems function.
We showcase elements like:
-
Surface access to and around terminals
-
Passenger flow through terminals
-
Signage logic and wayfinding systems
-
Seating layouts and spatial planning
-
Operational systems like baggage handling, security screening, and gate access
All of this demonstrates how infrastructure is designed not just to exist, but to serve the needs of real people.
Passenger Wayfinding
Wayfinding in airports plays a crucial role in reducing passenger anxiety—especially in a high-stress environment like air travel.
Airports are large, complex spaces. Any level of predictability and visual clarity helps reduce that overwhelming feeling. When travellers know exactly where to go—whether it’s to their gate, the restroom, or baggage claim—and how long it will take, they gain a real sense of control over their journey.
By using our visualisation tools, we can model and refine wayfinding systems before they’re built. Passengers benefit directly from clearer navigation, and as a result, are more likely to associate the airport (and the airline) with a positive, low-stress experience.
End to end visualisation
End-to-end visualisation at an airport is super helpful because it gives a complete picture of the passenger journey, from arrival to departure. Here's why it's a game-changer:
Instead of abstract plans or diagrams, you see how passengers actually arrive at and move through the space—from curb side drop-off to check-in, security, lounges, gates, and boarding
Luminova visualisations can be especially powerful with realistic lighting, signage flow and dynamic environments can make that end-to-end journey feel real can reduce the anxiety for passengers
