Airport Information Display




Seen in Hong Kong:

Airport Information Display HKK

Infrared touch matrix retrofitted to a display to create touchscreen input for airport information. It worked pretty well, although the display wasn’t too crisp. (The IR bars were a little loose, which had some interesting effects.)

When you choose a desired gate or location, the map shows your location, then shows an arrow moving its way through the terminal to the goal.

Press Home Button HKK

The following advice appears on the frame:

Step 1: Pick up the public phone nearby.

Step 2: Press the Home button.

Step 3: Press the Contact Airport Operator button for assistance. 

There is, in fact, a pay phone just adjacent to the display:

See the Home button? Me neither. How about the Contact Airport Operator button? Uh huh.

(I wonder what the “Broadband Payphone” business is about?)
