Avatars have finally arrived in America

Avatars have finally arrived in America

August 14, 2012 // Riot Fest

Remember that movie that James Cameron directed which was about the humans taking over the blue alien-like avatar species for their resources? Well, this is nothing like that.

We’re talking Tupac-hologram-style avatars. Officially making their debut today in The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, these avatars are here to greet visitors and help them with questions. If you happen to be flying through JFK, Newark and LaGuardia airports, be on the lookout for Marie, Libby and Sarah. (Yes, the avatars have their own names.) Each one cost about $60,000 to produce and based upon their success, we may be seeing a lot more of them.

Grab your popcorn, looks like Tupac hologram has 3 lovely holograms to choose from.
