cognitivedissonance      That's not a hologram, that's the same as one of the singing busts in the Haunted Mansion graveyard.
But five stars because the human beings that used to do that job now have no money at all with which to fly anywhere to or from Manchester Airport, thus increasing the necessity for "holograms" in an endless feedback loop of disdain for workers ---> costcutting measure ---> disdain for lowered quality of service ---> disdain for workers ---> costcutting measure ---> ad infinitum.

Adramelech      Yes, but can she accept the override code to access the mainframe in an emergency? I've been told this is the most important feature of a holographic guide.

MrBuddy Can she say, "Help me Obi Wan you're my only hope,"?

Nikon Many otaku want this kind of tech at home for their 2D wives.

balistic    rear projection has been used since at least as far back as the 1920s

Tom Collins      From amazed to disappointed in a minute.

fluffy      More like solidgrams
They should use a hollowed-out transparent mold of a mannequin to make it something approaching 3D, at least.

Calamity Jon     BITCH, SHUT UP, I AM TRYING TO TALK HERE!

Calamity Jon PS I believe the effect here is called "Pepper's Ghost".

cognitivedissonance No. Pepper's Ghost is actually far more flexible a solution. This is rear projection.

Lurchi      what a terrible idea
|
Helena Handbasket      My first thought was "WHAT? I was just THERE and I didn't see those," followed by the realization that this was England not NEW England, followed by the realization that these are just silly and rather useless. If you want to clear up confusion you don't just throwing out more signs, announcements and pretend holograms.

Jet Bin Fever      Hooray, lets spend money to make more human shapes that endlessly talk at you and are ignored!
