We had seen them being used on our money bills, as a form of artistic expression, as a component of a technique to store data and even as part of a virtual music band made up of cartoons. But now, it would seem, holograms will greet us at the airport. At least to those flying from Manchester.
The holograms' job will be a rather disagreeable one, as they will be reminding people the security restrictions that operate in airports and planes.
The technology being used has been developed by Musion, a company specialising in the design and production of 3D holographic projection system.
