biometrics airport Amsterdam hotel robot

  • Biometrics, a security technology that identifies individuals by retina scans, fingerprints or voice prints, is already in use at government and private industry installations. The lock on your hotel room's safe may soon be triggered by a retina scan. Guests of future hotels might also forget about room keys and check in to hotels with just a glance. An airport in Amsterdam is paving the way with the first public installation of retina scans replacing passport checks at security checkpoints.
  • I'm still dreaming about living in a Jetsons-style home that cleans itself, but I may see it in a hotel room first. In an interview with Travel+Leisure magazine, consultant Grace Leo-Andrieu imagines hotels of the future which offer "services that may not necessarily be performed by humans. Food and drinks could be dispensed by machines or robots, rooms could be cleaned by built-in vacuum and disinfecting systems, and a quick back-and-foot massage could be provided by a robotic apparatus."

    The future of hospitality is approaching sooner than we thought. Biometric technology for airports is about to launch in an airport in Amsterdam eliminating passport and some other security measures. Also, hotels are looking into robots that clean room and maybe even give you a massage!

    This super tech savvy hotel has a lot of bells and whistles in the room and are revealed starting when you walk in the door. The curtains will open and close a bit so you can see its electronic. And the bathroom glass fogs up so you can't see through. ** also, the micro master send info to the pms in the hotel giving the staff the ability to control temperature and lighting to benefit the sustainability of the hotel and its room. They also have motion detectors to verify when you are and are not in the room... Creepy!
