Make Salt Lake City the First to Have an Interactive Tunnel

   Ahh, has this been invented yet? I don't believe so, so let's invent it and make Salt Lake City the first to have it.
   An interactive tunnel, where the electronic images of people interact with the person walking through the tunnel. He touches the wall, and various things happen. He breaks into a run, and the image breaks into a run alongside him. One of the tunnels would be a welcome tunnel, where the electronic character greets the person. The person yells, "Dog," and the image becomes a dog and says, "Hello," in the voice of a dog. He yells, "Duck," and the image becomes a duck and says, "Hello," in the voice of a duck. And so it goes, as fast as the person names an animal, the image says, "Hello," in the voice of that animal.
  The image carries on intelligent conversations with the person, asking him how his flight was, or whatever. The tunnel detects the tunnel-goers every move and mimics it, or responds to it,  At times, the electronic image changes into a likeness of the person, himself.
   You know, perhaps, that I wish we would create a welcome zone around the Salt Lake International Airport, a greeting zone heavy on entertainment and attractions. This could be one of the attractions, and, for a moment, until other cities started having them, it would be the only one in the world. You would have to come to Salt Lake City for the experience. Then, when interactive tunnels spread to other cities, Salt Lake could still advertise that it was home to the world's first.
   Here's the trick, since I am publishing this for all to read, it is possible someone will see the idea, patent it, and Salt Lake City will not only not be the first, but will be excluded from having it. 'Tisn't fair, 'tisn't fair.
