Manchester Airport in England has now launched its new meeter and greeter to help customers when they visit Terminal 1. The interesting thing about this meeter and greeter is that she is a one centimetre thick hologram.Many in the UK will remember H from Red Dwarf, the comedy TV series, but this hologram is a true reflection of what you would expect a hologram to be. This new innovation has been launched to try and reduce security queues as the hologram can explain to customers what they need to do without taking airport staff away from the work they are carrying out.
For those unaware, Holography was first invented back in 1947 by a Hungarian-British physicist called Dennis Gabor, since this time inanimate objects have been able to be made into holograms but it is only in recent times that moving objects have been able to be created.
A hologram works by beaming scattered light onto a certain area where it is reconstructed and shown as a holographic form.
