Augmented reality for tower: Using scenarios for describing tower activities

The project 'Augmented Reality Tools for Tower' aims at studying the potential applicability of Augmented Reality (AR) in aerodrome operations. A careful understanding of tower activities is necessary in order to gain insights on the way controllers use the 'view out-of-the-window'. The present paper describes the work steps taken to deepen knowledge on tower activities and highlights the use of scenarios as useful means for describing contextual aspects of tower activities and for stimulating reflections on the design of AR displays.
