Cant punch holograms.
Wander
Actually, it looks like you CAN punch this one.

Spike Jonez
If you want to break it. Which makes it twice as cool. I would love to watch one of these shatter like a GUI wysiwyg in the cybermatrix of a bad 90's computer movie.

Then it's not a damn hologram.

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.

Actually, I think it is more: Rising costs of living ----> Rising costs of labor ----> disdain for workers ----> cost-cutting measures ----> lack of workers ----> expensive solutions ----> increased taxes/cost of goods ----> rising costs of living

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,"?

Caminante Nocturno
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You think this is the real Julie?

It is.

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

rear projection has been used since at least as far back as the 1920s
Tom Collins
From amazed to disappointed in a minute.
longwinded
it only took me a few seconds

like when I learned you had posted

More like solidgrams

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

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

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

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!
