Crafting Immersive Experiences
The internet of Things (IoT) holds enormous potential for the leisure industry, especially in tailoring services to individual preferences. Mark expounds on how IoT devices such as smartwatches, sensors, and smartphones can be utilized to collect data that can be analyzed to provide personalized services. For instance, hotels can use smart thermostats to adjust room temperatures based on a guest’s preference. Additionally, theme parks can use IoT devices to offer personalized routes and offers.
