What They Say
For the first time, E Ink-based displays are being used as Flight Information Displays (FIDs) at Dubai’s Airport. They are solar-powered and the cloud-based FIDS solution was installed in the baggage handling areas of Terminal 1 & 2.
What We Think
FIDs are a reasonable application, except that airports also like to sell advertising and advertisers want colour and, increasingly, video. So, an interesting application, but I would be surprised if it went mainstream, despite the good ‘green’ credentials. (BR)
