If you have ever wanted to follow a hotel from design concept to opening...visit Starwood's Aloft blog. Using 3-D modeling (widely used in auto and other industries), visitors can 'walk through' the prototype, see design concepts...and make comments.
Further, they use YouTube to provide a video preview of the hotel experience. Gamers and MySpace folks will love this.
Architectural, design and hotel management teams meet daily in the shared 3-D space 'Second Life'. They modify designs on pre-customers' feedback...quite an opportunity to avoid expensive corrections of mistakes.
They are getting a great deal of press...BusinessWeek, HospitalityNet.....

Great!!!
Another nice idea from technology to the hotel industry and actually in United States specially in Miami the most of real state agencies are using this technology for their clients who wants to buy an apartment for example, I mean they show the apartment which does not exist yet and they are only a project, let’s say for 2010 so you can have virtual visit for your future apartment and it works very well, incredible isn’t it?
But for hotels, I prefer the web site which called VRX STUDIO www.vrxstudios.com, because you can have virtual visit of the hotel that you want with real pictures and they are working for hotels, luxury cruises and so on.
Also they say seeing is believing because all the pictures and short virtual videos are taken recently.
You can find more details for this company in my Blog WWW.CARAVANSERAIL-REZA@BLOGSPOT.COM if you want.
Have fun!!!!
The idea of this blog can seem original and innovative. But personally, I find its look too much like the game "SimCity" , and the hotel loses of its charm and its mystery.
