This is, once again, one of those things that should, but probably won’t shock many of you. Paris, France’s Orly airport has been experimenting with 2-D avatar hosts. Travelers will apparently be able to communicate with them as they show them to their boarding gates, and the best part is they won’t strike or take breaks.
The idea is the result of a recent brainstorm session by the French Airport Authority, when they were trying to come up with ways to modernize Hall 40, a new boarding gate at Paris’s second airport.
I can think of a few sectors here where we could use avatars.
