I've seen these in a few airports now in the UK. They seem to be replacing the "What to do at the security area" videos. I think it's a step in the wrong direction. You lose the ability to display diagrams/symbols and understand the information from a distance or in a noisy environment (exactly like a security area at an airport). Even worse, you lose the language-agnostic benefits from a well produced demonstration video.
Their introduction is fueled by the fact that it's "obvious" that people would want to deal with human avatars, and will of course understand information better from them. Though it is in fact a poor form of dissemination for most types of information.
