Um, lenticular lenses? Those aren't proprietary. Children's toys have lenticular lenses on them. They were patented in 1912. The idea of using them to display different images to different viewers is also not remotely new.
Cool concept to use it for personalized airport signage, but the face recognition required for it to work well is going to be hard to swallow in the current privacy climate. Better not install one of these in Illinois!

A lenticular array of cylindrical lenses does it in only one dimension. It's possible they are using a microlens array to do it in two dimensions instead of one, but the concept is very similar and also not unique.
