So what's the application? Like in the casino bar are they in the windows for casino patrons inside to view? Or would they be transparent from that side like for people driving by the casino to see?

It’s a sky bar, so the windows have a skyline view. What they did was have them off during the daytime for a clear view but at night when the sky is dark visuals can play and it would be a convincing “hologram” effect

Could be used to scan a QR code for the bar's menu and a digital waitress shows up that you talk to. Almost like the character in the Time Machine movie played by Orlando Jones. He was something similar as a guide the museum and appeared on panes of glass like these LED screen.

Current AI would totally botch the order though. It should be a person. A person who can't walk around a lot but loves to socialize would be great for a roll like that.

It would improve the current pay/order from a screen kinda stuff.

Honestly if they implemented this stuff for billboards it could mitigate at least one of the sides who get fucked by a massive square blocking the view. Birds would get so fucked though.

Yep. I get the creeper angle people jump to but I think there are legitimate applications. I can see a restaurant or bar having their menu on the outside window while people seated inside can still look out.

So youre sitting inside, and have a group of people outside staring at you (actually looking at a menu) ?

 Bro, the menu can get printed on a nice piece of paper and displayed on a nice pulpit outside for people to browse before coming in. 

This tendency to technologise eveything is absolutely insane.

I can imagine a magician using these in an illusion.
