Miami International Airport just hired the ultimate employee of the month. Leticia, a virtual reality passenger assistant, works 24/7 to help guide and inform you about the airports 60 restaurants, shops and services. Of course, she speaks both Spanish and English.

While Miami isn't the first airport to implement projection-powered assistants, CBS Miami reports that Leticia is "one of the first to target shopping and dining customers." Right now, your girl is located in the South Terminal, and Miami-Dade Aviation Department director Emilio T. Gonzalez says you can expect more technology-driven services before travel season kicks up.
