With the new application developed by TravelTainment for Microsoft Surface, guests travel agencies will soon choose their vacation like Tom Cruise in “Minority Report”?
Earth after ds fingers! TravelTainment, a subsidiary of Amadeus specializes in research and distribution of entertainment products, creates an application dedicated to selling travel on the interactive touch table Microsoft Surface. A world premiere. Microsoft Surface looks like a desk with a large screen, full touch and multi-touch. TravelTainment has developed this interactive table for an application that can revolutionize the sale of travel agency. Thus, through this innovation, clients, guided by their travel consultant, can navigate through the Google world map, zoom in on their destination of choice and view the image database of 400,000 images available to them. Customers then get the information they need through an editorial – on the country, the hotel offers, points of interest … Once the traveler has selected its destination or hotel information can be sent over the job of travel consultant. It automatically retrieves the latest in its booking tool TT-TravelOffice and can finalize the sale.
Very cool new technology. I have never seen Microsoft Surface in action in real life but I’ve seen a couple videos and they look really appealing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this technology caught on in a widespread fashion.
