AR Wayfinding for Parents and Migrant Workers

A lot of people traveling from Nepal to other countries are either aged parents of students/workers living abroad or migrant workers with limited education and literacy; mostly first timers. One thing common in both categories is the lack of understanding of English language; or they simply cannot comprehend to the signs and instructions.

International airports can be overwhelming to people who are travelling for the first time. Way-finding, or even simply the lack of understanding of signs written in English is a huge problem I've seen. In my last transit at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I could see nervous elderly people desperate to figure out directions. One lady was simply panicking because she needed to use the restroom before boarding the next flight.

I know AR might still be overwhelming to the category of users I'm talking about; but it could be one ways to solve the problem.
