Interested attendees will be able to view the Lume Pad tablet, which offers both an intuitive interface and immersive 3D images that improve the guest experience, create emotional connections, enhance safety and bolster revenue from in-room services. By showcasing everything in immersive 3D – from room service to retail and spa services to special hotel activities and entertainment – guests can connect and interact like never before while making purchases and scheduling reservations directly from the easy-to-clean tablet. You can also gather valuable analytics and reports that help you to better serve guests and personalize their stay with real-time updates and offers.
