Orly airport in Paris has taken a new approach to letting you know when to board the plane – telling you in person. Wait.. that’s not very innovative is it? But I did forget to mention they are holograms.
The holograms may not ‘materialise’ out of thin air, but they do seem to do so. In actuality, the video of a member of staff is a projection on a perfect fit plexiglass cutout.
While it may not be 3D just yet, and no match to the capabilities of R2-D2, it is great to see in mainstream public and has certainly created a positive reaction – with passengers quite amazed by the virtual boarding staff.
Take a look at ITN’s report for more:
Ha! I’ve seen a couple of these before (telling you what stuff to take out of your bag before going through security, rather than boarding) and they’re actually disturbingly realistic!
