Mobile phones are changing the meeting experience, from how we interact with a destination to the way we register on site. Here are five new applications that illustrate the trend.
Augmented Reality App for Vegas. For meetings in Las Vegas, point your attendees to the five free apps launched in May by MGM Mirage. Visitors can get oriented to the city with “Vegas Reality,” an augmented reality app. Just point an iPhone camera at a resort or attraction and information about the venue floats over the image on the screen. The company has also launched an “Entertainment of Las Vegas” app, which provides event calendars, video previews of shows, show times, and directions, and allows users to purchase tickets. The company has also launched apps for three of its Las Vegas hotels—Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, and New York-New York—with others on the way.
