ORLANDO, Fla. — Intelity Corp. has developed a concierge program that allows hotel guests to arrange services through touchscreens installed in each guest room.
ICE, which was launched in November, uses video, multitouch screens and virtual narrators.ICE is also designed to enable hotels to modify prices instantly and to send hotel-wide messages to guests and employees in real time.
The system is customizable to bridge the hotel's existing point of sale, food and beverage, spa, recreation, and event-planning systems. ICE's system components are supplied by Dell, Microsoft, Adobe and standard open-source providers, so in-house IT persons can work with the system.
