I was just staying at the Westin and they had this.
It seems much cheaper to build and maintain, due to a reduction in parts.
What's Orwellian about it is that a finger must touch a screen. They are not yet picking up biometric information as far as I know. When that day comes, it will indeed enhance security, but add to the surveillance creep.
- vel0city 2y agoYour Orwellian tracking fantasy is still possible. Someone's got to press the call button. They could put fingerprint readers on the buttons as well. It's not like it's something only possible because a screen is involved.
- smitty1e 2y agoNo, it's not. And we haven't mentioned cameras in the lobbies.
