A new hotel solution has been unveiled that displays content from guests’ smartphones on their in-room TVs.
Launched at the HITEC 2014 event in Los Angeles, the ‘Smart Mirroring’ system has been developed by Sonifi Solutions and LG Electronics, and is being trialled at a Sunstone Hotel property in the US.
The solution allows guests to watch anything on the TV that is available on their phone, such as personal photos, videos and apps. Guests can also stream content to their TV. The solution is expected to be available on LG hotel Smart TVs later this year.
“Guest demand for watching their own content on their smartphones and tablets has increased exponentially over the last couple of years. We see this technology as a way to satisfy them and further enhance guest satisfaction,” said Bob Combie, vice president of asset management of Sunstone Hotel.
“We’re pleased at the well coordinated effort Sonifi and LG demonstrated, and anticipate gaining significant insights on technological performance and guest feedback from the trial,” he added.
The system is currently compatible with Android- or Windows-based smartphones.
