Charles deGaulle airport with is notoriously bad signage better watch out. Orly airport in Paris now has virtual flight attendants, in a pilot project to replace traditional signage.

The company l’oeil du chat developed the technology which projects video onto plexiglass. Seems like they wanted to keep it realistic by using real attendants, but it might be more “enjoyable” to use extremely good looking people. Check out this video:
