Ibiza Hotel connects guests with Facebook using RFID
Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 3:36PM We Are Social put this up and think this has huge potential for all kinds of events. Can see these tags incorporated into your phone at some point for you to swipe but this is a great starting point and so easy and cost effective. Here is a great example in Ibiza!
RFID tags are already used in hotels as keys but the future may be with auto check-ins and photo tagging. The Great Wolf Lodge waterpark-cum-hotel allows guests to register wristbands to their Facebook account and use the webcam equipped “Paw Posts” to link images straight to their wall.
Utilising a similar system the Ushuaia beach hotel in Ibiza encourages guests to use their bands to check-in to locations, in order to make their friends jealous. In addition to the users page, all of the information updates automatically onto the hotel’s Facebook page creating a fast moving online community.
