> and directly benefit from facial recognition and location tracking. A fixed board in a fixed location with fixed information inside of a giant terminal? While I'm walking around with a computer in my pocket that also doubles as a telephone? And in the video, this is apparently the same phone I just used to check in? This feels like there's zero actual benefit to me. It's maybe a great benefit to whoever makes the boards and whoever at the airport is getting the kickback.

Exactly this. Why should anyone be able to potentially see any of my personal info? (I doubt whatever parallax effect or whatnot magic tech is perfect - it's gonna eventually leak). I'm already glued to my phone at the airport because that's where my flight info is, and it's not a static location, it's always with me. Who is this for? The subset of people without smartphones but comfortable with Minority Report-esque targeted display boards?

  They already have normal info screens at the terminal, might as well make it fancy

Yeah I would much rather use the new live notifications that auto-update in iOS than something like this

It'd be great for trains in countries where they only announce the platform shortly before boarding. It's such a hassle to find the departure on a giant board and monitor it closely among a sea of boarding times. This is especially bad when you're running late and suddenly you have to stop your frantic race to the gate to methodically peruse the board.

I'd easily pay $20 more on each trip to the airport if every screen just told me "Mr. Wiltord, head to gate A10, this way" with the appropriate arrow.
