A fixed board in a fixed location with fixed information inside of a giant terminal? While I'm walking around with a computer in my pocket that also doubles as a telephone? And in the video, this is apparently the same phone I just used to check in?
This feels like there's zero actual benefit to me. It's maybe a great benefit to whoever makes the boards and whoever at the airport is getting the kickback.
I'm already glued to my phone at the airport because that's where my flight info is, and it's not a static location, it's always with me.
Who is this for? The subset of people without smartphones but comfortable with Minority Report-esque targeted display boards?
This indeed seems like a glaring oversight

Bingo :) Follow the money.
It's such a hassle to find the departure on a giant board and monitor it closely among a sea of boarding times.
This is especially bad when you're running late and suddenly you have to stop your frantic race to the gate to methodically peruse the board.
