  • Audience-response systems (ARS) have become more sophisticated and portable, allowing presenters to ask questions on the fly and attendees to get involved in a program's content.
  • You can use it for surveys and evaluations. You can use it to engage attendees. You can use it for gaming. You can collect valuable information that you can publish after the event. You can grab it all with one tool
  • Devices also can be individually assigned to attendees to count attendance for crediting purposes

  • the IML Connector has a more powerful microphone, eliminating the need for a fleet-footed helper to run the mike around the room. An extra feature is a speaker, allowing attendees to listen to simultaneous interpretation through the handset or headphones.  
  • No computer is needed when the devices are paired with the handheld base unit, called the Reply Solo, which gathers the answers and displays the results.
  • Each transmitter has a small LCD screen that indicates which answer the attendee has chosen.
  • As long as Wi-Fi is available, responses to Poll Everywhere surveys also can be sent in by laptops, iPads and iPod Touches. And answers can be tweeted and still come straight into the presenter's PowerPoint slides in seconds

    Technology absolutely plays important role to facilitate meetings and conference running smoothly. The Audience-response systems (ARS) ease the communication between attendees and speaker, which encourages the engagement from participants. As one big goal of meeting and convention is to bring people together and let them know each other, technology like ARS is essential for a successful meeting. According to most planners' experience, it's really annoying to pass around the microphone when somebody wants to ask question. The new microphone function is also added into ARS so that attendees can ask question without waiting for passing the microphone. In addition, ARS can track attendance for crediting purpose. As long as WiFi is available, surveys can be sent by laptops, iPads and iPod touches.

  • We accepted driverless trains very easily – London’s DLR, for example, has been trundling around without drivers since 1987. Driverless cars we’ve been more sceptical about, but seem to have made peace with their inevitability (aids for human drivers like lane assist are pretty much standard in every new car). But if either of those concepts blows your mind and/or has you feeling a little uneasy in the pant department, just wait until you board a pilotless aeroplane! That’ll feel completely fine, right? But it will almost certainly happen – it kind of does now, to an extent
  • The Vdara Hotel & Spa in Las Vegas uses two robot ‘butlers’ to deliver room service. This Chinese company claims to have created an AI receptionist. Even hotel mega-giants Hilton experimented with a Watson-powered robot concierge called Connie

  • You might have heard of smart cities. Super-connected, intelligently-planned urban conurbations aimed at making life an absolute dream, both now and in the future, through the use of technology
  • And while ‘more planes’ doesn’t sound very environmentally friendly, that AI technology can be used to make all kinds of transport more efficient. Fewer empty planes and trains, less stacking over airports, more intelligent planning of onboard catering (no more fish dishes = less food waste IMO – who eats them?) – it all helps the goal of green tourism

    The article discusses 5 potential use cases of artificial intelligence with a focus on travel and hospitality.

Biometric recognition as a replacement for passports has also been discussed along with using AI for green tourism.
