SAT will be the first airport in the state to use this kind of technology.
These exhibits will feature the city’s most famous figures, including Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and many others.
“What we're doing today is introducing new technology to the airport, it's 3D augmented reality ... animation, it captures some of the Alamo defenders,” said Tonya Hope, the public relations manager for San Antonio International Airport, “some of the iconic characters from San Antonio's history.”
Passengers will use their mobile devices to access the 11 augmented reality displays throughout Terminals A and B.
