  • NEW YORK - Wyndham's first, Euro-style Tryp hotel in the USA wants to make sure you feel connected - whether to other guests in your group, helpful hotel staffers or other guests you've never met.
  • LobbyFriend - an app designed specifically for registered hotel guests - creates a network that you can tap into on your smartphone. You can also see it in action on prominently displayed, lobby TV screens.
  • Some of the screens play live TV news, but two of them show content that looked vaguely familiar in a Facebook-sort of way. They contained the Tryp logo and a logo for "LobbyFriend," with the headline, "Join the conversation."

  • The app has many uses, she told me. For instance, if I was exploring the city and couldn't find a specific shoe store I was looking for, I could post a message and one of the hotel staffers would reply with an answer.

    The article introduce a social networking app that used in the hotels. Guests can connect to the networking and know any other guests in the lobby. It's a Facebook-like networking app for the hotels. Users can make new friends and it's also a good way of knowing nearby restaurants and shops. However, the app mainly has employees on it so it crushes the chances of social networking with other guests.

  • Ayers Saint Gross used a combination of satellite, GIS and aircraft imaging to create the 3D map, which can be constantly updated as new buildings arise and others are torn down.
  • Ayers Saint Gross is in the process of working with Apple and Android to create smart phone versions of the app, and could not give an estimate of when it would be ready for the public.
  • Not only does it allow tourists to navigate the city, but it also sells the city to potential clients interested in bringing their meetings and events to Baltimore, he said.

  • Potential visitors can search for rooms for conventions, find restaurants near their hotels and see nearby transportation options from the bird’s eye or a street view. Noonan can even create custom virtual tours to showcase local attractions that particular groups might be interested in, allowing new visitors to understand the lay of the land before they’ve set foot on it.

    This article introduce a very nice, brand new 3D application that can help many tourists when they arrive, in Baltimore. As useful as the app may be to tourists, it's pretty sad that they have all these lovely features for one city and nowhere else.We can see that from google map to this 3D map, seems like it is a trend that the companies are developing theapplication of navigating tourists. However, I'm glad that they haven't revealed this app to the App Store or Play Store yet for the public because they need to expand their horizons before they even think to release it to the market. But as long as they improve this app and release to the public, it will be great convenience for the tourists.
