The user can take a virtual tour of all the available suites of the hotel. The interior of the hotel can be explored and they can travel through different rooms using just their gestures.

This includes the sensors and the whole setup. Based on the level of customization needed, it can go up further. At present, she is targeting the hotel industry, specifically five-star hotels. She says she wants to target the automotive sector next because similar products are already being used there.
