Hotel chain Marriott has introduced an iOS app enabling potential guests to view destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico using augmented reality. The Portal to Paradise app enables users to virtually "visit" and explore six Marriott resorts using their iPhones. The hotel chain says consumers will be able to "walk" through eight areas of the respected resorts, including areas like swimming pools, beaches and hotel restaurants. Users are instructed to aim their phone at flat surfaces to begin the AR experience, with no further technology required to use the app.
