900.000 visitors go to Schiphol every year to see and experience this man-made marvel. These visitors do not come to the airport to travel nor to pick up or say goodbye to friends and relatives. These visitors are solely there to have a nice day out; do some shopping, look at the airplanes and get something to eat. Schiphol wishes to provide a new leisure activity for these visitors based upon their fascination for the airport. Such a leisure activity should be: fun, informative and a PR message, and in that respective order. This graduation project is concerned with the design of this leisure activity. Because of the fascination of the visitors for the airport, the best leisure activity would be a sightseeing tour. Without actually giving people access to restricted areas, a “tour behind the scenes” can be made possible with mixed reality technology. Mixed reality is a context sensitive digital layer which can be placed over the real world. With this the tour can become an exciting and serious leisure activity focusing on meaningful content and social interactivity.
