Heathrow Airport in London is trialling Exceptional 3D’s patented auto-stereoscopic 3D display technology as part of its plan to assist passengers through designated security areas.
The glasses-free 3D solution is aimed at catching the eye of travellers who pass through hand luggage security checkpoints prior to entering the boarding terminals.

The new technology enables flat-panel displays to show high-definition 3D content without the need to wear specialised eyewear or 3D glasses, while still being capable of supporting playback of standard 2D content.
Exceptional 3D’s technology is expected to reduce traveller delays within the security areas prior to entering terminal one.
These displays will show information on baggage restrictions and security, encouraging travellers to dispose, prior to boarding, the restricted items that have been inadvertently packed in their ‘carry on.’
Exceptional 3D Europe managing director Matthew Young said: "We’re very excited to be working with Heathrow Airport in an effort to make traveling an even smoother experience.
