The McNamara terminal opened up in 2001. It really was a gem ahead of its time back then. I always felt that with many bad things about American airports, Detroit is actually one of the better airports considering that it’s a hub. Definitely an underrated airport.
I think this airport set the bar for many of the new airport projects that we are seeing now like the new LGA, O hare and even internationally with airports like Doha, Narita getting a lot of inspiration from how this was designed.
Similar technology (minus the mass surveillance, which is no doubt coming) to the sci-fi movie Minority Report where a billboard talks to you as you walk by it, pitching you products based on your personal buying habits.
Exactly what I instantly thought of too. This is how they implement more control. Introduce it as neat beneficial and fun, slowly make it more and more "secure" and in common usage until eventually, you'll have no choice but to participate in the system in order to travel, make purchases, etc. Before you know it, we'll too have to exchange our eyes to be able to move freely once something about you has become illegal
This is looking more like the Movie "Minority report" every month that passes. This is not for your benefit, it is just more tracking and control pushed as benefits for you.
Just another step towards more control. Once it's in widespread general usage, the next step is always making it "more secure and personalized for privacy"

But last week, my mom with wheelchair assistance waited 1hr and 15mins for a wheelchair and it NEVER came and the ticket agent finally gave my brother a pass to get through security and RUNNNNN to the gate with only 5 mins until gate closes. Wtf. We don’t need a parallel reality, we need staff for actual reality!
You know what pisses me off? This technology was shown 3 years ago - it was ready! And still this is it - this is that one example that we get. Nobody invested in it but Delta??? Remember 3D TVs and how all the big companies were trying to make you buy a 3D TV with glasses? And then they said well, 3D TV is dead and it's the consumer fault. Guess what - there is a clip of that same tech shown in a lab by Microsoft Applied Science (Misapplied Science is the company that sold this to Delta) that is 12 years old now!!! At no point someone from the brass was like: Hey, you know what? I think I know how this cool tech we have can be ACTUALLY APPLIED!!!!! This could have changed TVs forever, but it was just brushed off. And it still is. We never learn and we will never have good things. Everything is so f.d up! Only yesterday I was watching about a propeller that could save lots of fuel on ships and even airplanes and it was designed in the 70s. But we don't care about stuff like that. We just roll with what we have right now. Makes me furious! Talking about lowering emissions when you have this simple thing just sitting on a shelf in a back room!
It can scan that quickly and show only the traveler. Wow maybe the tsa can implement this tech so 3 different people don’t need to see my boarding pass and ID
An individual's information is only visible at a very particular spot, and the camera is behind the person who's information is being displayed. The camera is effectively in the same "very particular spot" as the passenger (in this case the news reporter)
@@KevinJohnMulligan So if I stood behind the passenger I could also see this information? Also, how does the passenger know where the particular spot is?
@@miriguwa1958 -- Exactly my concern as well. It seems like all someone would need to do is walk up directly behind you, take out their phone, angle it in just the right way, and snap a picture to have all that info about you. I don't take very many airplane trips, but if I do ever fly Delta, I am not going to utilize this system. In fact, I will call the airport ahead of time and find out if it is mandatory to move to the next part of the concourse. If so, then I won't fly Delta!
@@miriguwa1958 if you stay directly behind a passenger yes, you would see it. But the passenger doesn’t need to know a specific place, the cameras track where the person is, as far as I understand
Once u scan the boarding pass...a personalised mobile message wud hav been easy🤪. Instead of displaying personal information to someone standing besides me😞.
I like how the reporter is blown away that motion sensors exist. Has he never been through an automatic doorway, or does he think there are tiny dinosaurs with pulleys that watch as people come and go?

What would be much better would be augmented reality on my phone with arrows and icons telling me where to go the whole way to where I need to be.
Few Airports in the Uk has this. For eg. gatwick airport introduced VR in 2017 to help passengers for easier navigation
@@srinikrishna Any video link of this?
@@BoldKing71 ua-cam.com/video/uvWi8qVh-rY/v-deo.html
Macnamara is literally a straight line. If you need arrows to know which way to go, you’re better off just asking someone to walk you down lmao
This has excellent potential as a security tool in combination with other technologies

That was by scanning the eyes, which is inevitably coming

You just described the „Free“ UA-cam experience! 🙃
That sounds so cool and helpful next time i fly delta out of dtw imma have to give it a try
Now that is some pretty awesome science!!

This is terrifying
Only for you. The device you have in hand is already more terryfying
Just another step towards more control. Once it's in widespread general usage, the next step is always making it "more secure and personalized for privacy"
@@BarnDoor-won5ve I don’t think this is anything to be afraid of. It’s just looking at your boarding pass nothing else

Wheelchaurs could be made possible in other ways. Like carts are in grocery stores.
There’s not an app for that. Sorry.
Sorry for being flippant. Yeah. Fix the real issues first.
This is just insane
They are leaving out the facial recognition system
Love this!

This is truly something , really has me intrigued , this is definitely a step into the future

That’s high tech customer service 💯💯💯
I like the parallel technology, that is cool, coming to a device near you
Kay this is blowing my mind 😳
If only the passenger can see his flight information how did they get it on camera at 2:0?
Great observation. Makes me doubt this video.

Much easy and more personalized
It's not about the ease. Experiments like this are meant to get people excited about new tech and study how they react to it.
International travelers may not have roaming access to their phones
Watch the whole video...only you can see the information on the board. Which is wild.
@@krystlemurphy8514 Impossible that person standing nxt to you does not see. Even in vdo 2 people appear to be seeing the same data
Imagine adding this to phones
Minority report 2002 movie..showed this 20 yrs back 😄
It's so hard to find your destination on an alphabetical list! LOL.
You are now in my data base mwuahahahaha it will fallow you the rest of your days.
Still wouldn’t fly delta, too tight, no leg room
We're getting lazier each day
wow i can't believe it ,it realy super technology , the world fastly move toward digital era .
step it up Michigan ❤
Cool!
Great risk of shoulder surfing...
Is this only for delta or other airline too can someone reply to me Thanks
I like how the reporter is blown away that motion sensors exist. Has he never been through an automatic doorway, or does he think there are tiny dinosaurs with pulleys that watch as people come and go?
I assume it's all magic
And they put it in Detroit? Huh
Worried what they will really want use it for?
Cool
Way cool!!!
Korea’s air star is cooler and more helpful
Does it scan pupil dilation though? Good thing its not connected to wifi yeah JK
Since it’s in Detroit it will be gone in the span of 5 minutes
That was so funny I forgot to laugh
Ummm… they do this already at some DMVs lol what nonsense 😂
They talking about it being in airport dummy
Waste of money
What happened to just reading and following directions. A lot of this "technology" is "tech"nically retarding mankind.
