Microsoft – Centre of the Room’s Design

Xbox 360 console and its revolutionary Kinect sensor are integrated in the room design where body gesture and voice recognition are used for game control and entertainment.  This partnership between Novotel and Microsoft began four years ago when Novotel started offering Xbox 360 consoles in the public areas of its hotels.

“In the era of technological convergence, Microsoft is as always front and center,” says Eric Boustouller, CEO of Microsoft France. “In our partnership with Novotel, we are taking this innovative room concept to a higher level with our best technologies.  This new-generation room is an invitation to discover the latest advances in consumer technologies in a creative universe with a unique design.”
