Marriott Hotels launched Vroom Service, allowing guests to order virtual reality experiences to their rooms. Created in collaboration with Samsung Electronics America, Vroom Service is currently being tested for two weeks at New York Marriott Marquis and London Marriott Park Lane. Marriott also launched its new virtual travel platform, VR Postcards. The platform tells the stories of real travelers in 360 3D via a virtual reality headset. The first three VR Postcards were shot in the Andes Mountains in Chile, an ice cream shop in Rwanda and in the streets of Beijing. VR Postcards will be available to guests using VRoom Service at select Marriott properties, as well as to the general public via Samsung Milk VR premium video service accessed via the Samsung Gear VR headset.
