Aloft Hotels Unveils World's First Voice-Activated Rooms

Aloft Hotels, a north America-based hotel chain has recently launched world's first voice-activated rooms at their branches at Boston Seaport and Santa Clara. Apple's digital assistant will have a permanent place in special voice-activated rooms at select Aloft Hotel locations. Each room has an iPad running a custom Aloft app, which allows a guest to control lighting and room temperature and to explore local attractions through speech. The iPad will let guests browse the internet. Once the stay ends, the iPads are reset for the next guest.
