Ibis hotels to have robots paint art while they track your sleep: no, that's not creepy at all (video)
First they invaded our factories, and now it's our hotel rooms. Is nowhere safe from the robots? In truth, Ibis' upcoming Sleep Art project is very slick, even if it smacks of robot voyeurism. Ibis hotels in Berlin, London and Paris will let 40 successful applicants sleep on beds that each have 80 sensors translating movements, sound and temperature into truly unique acrylic paintings by robotic arms connected through WiFi. You don't have to worry that the machines are literally watching you sleep -- there's no cameras or other visual records of the night's tossing and turning, apart from the abstract lines on the canvas. All the same, if you succeed in landing a stay in one of the Sleep Art hotel rooms between October 13th and November 23rd, you're a brave person. We all know how this ends.
Continental breakfast, I choose you!
You'd have to really love Pokemon to be anything but freaked out by what looks like a Poke-intervention scene here. We assume that only Pokemon zealots would enter a contest for an All Nippon Airlines Pokemon-themed vacation, presumably one that involves traveling on the Pokemon airplane. Of course, if those Pokemon blankets were put down just to Poke-fy the room for the contest, maybe they're clean. That's how they should advertise the contest: Win a chance to sleep in a clean hotel room!
