Delta Airlines tested "parallel reality" screens that are hard to fathom
Why it matters: I still don't understand how this technology works, but Delta Airlines is getting ready to use special TVs that display travelers' specific flight information. So instead of scanning a TV in an airport looking for your flight and gate information on a massive list, the screens know which customized info to show you.
Why it REALLY matters: The "parallel reality" technology that powers the screens means another traveler looking at the same screen will only see their customized flight info, not yours. Fast Company online (1/7)
