The technology uses multi-view pixels and exclusive technology to allow each passenger to view their personalised information on the digital screen.

Misapplied Sciences CEO Albert Ng said: “We are looking forward to bringing this to life with Delta. The team there quickly saw the value the Parallel Reality experience would bring to its customers and had the vision, brand and resources to help bring it to market.

“While we will start with Delta customers in Detroit, eventually Parallel Reality technology can be used to create seamless, engaging and personalised experiences in nearly any out-of-home venue, ranging from stadiums to theme parks to convention centres and more.”

In November, Delta Airlines made plans to introduce facial recognition technology at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in the US by the end of the year.
