They've brought you presidential election coverage and promoted
worldwide access to PCs, and now they're telling you to take off your
belt and throw out your hairspray. Starting today, London Luton and
Manchester airports will beam in images of holographic agents to prep
passengers for the security line. Holly and Graham -- you heard right
-- and Manchester's Julie and John are meant to cut queues, as well as
human inconsistency. According to Luton's Glyn Jones, "Holly and
Graham are not going to have a hangover; they're not going to have a
row with their partner the night before." Just what we need: an army
of holographic squares taking our jobs and making us all look a
drunken mess in comparison. Thanks, technology.
Update: So it appears these aren't traditional holograms -- they're
actually huge sheets of glass that are cut out in the shape of people,
with the projection beamed on them. It's the same tech that Gorillaz
use on stage, made by a company called Musion. Check out another video
where the camera moves around the side.
