LG Introduces Smart-Room Technology with Voice Assistant
At the 2018 Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference (HITEC), hotel TV leader LG Electronics announced new smart features set to revolutionize the hospitality industry with advanced in-room voice assistant compatibility.
Leveraging its leadership in smart home and hotel TV technologies, LG is empowering hoteliers with display technology designed to promote in-room connectivity, making guests’ and AV managers’ lives easier.
Bringing AI and Voice Recognition to the Hotel Room
Consistent with its “open platform, open partnership, open connectivity” philosophy, LG has introduced a new hotel TV smart ecosystem that enables end users to work with a range of external partners, including compatibility with Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant.
With increased compatibility, LG hotel TVs can now provide a convenient and connected in-room experience that fits the needs of each guest’s individual lifestyle and preference. For example, LG’s voice assistant compatibility can allow guests to control other smart devices in the room, including lights, drapes or door locks.
Adding to its smart hotel TV solutions, LG delivers further voice recognition assistance to the guest room with its Pro:Centric smart TV platform. With similar IoT capabilities found in LG’s highly-acclaimed webOS-enabled consumer TVs, LG’s new Pro:Centric-enabled hotel TVs will offer hoteliers and AV managers the ability to supply more content options and greater connectivity.
The intuitive LG Pro:Centric platform makes switching between content options – including broadcast TV, streaming services, external devices and today’s most popular entertainment providers – simple and fast. With Pro:Centric custom application, users can easily dive into a world of premium content – including 4K streaming and HDR – from the most popular entertainment providers. Pro:Centric also empowers users with its Smart Share feature, which makes connecting to personal devices in order to access photos, music or movies a breeze. Users may also access LG’s Gallery App available via Pro:Centric for imagery that adds a sleek aesthetic touch to any hotel room.
