University of Delaware's X-Room

I can't help but give a shameless plug for my college. The school built a Courtyard by Marriott on campus a few years back and it is used as a both a revenue producer for the school and a site for classes and practical training for students. It is also a provides a place for professors to do research. Professor Cihan Cobanoglu, Ph.D, has taken over one room in order to do research about guest room technologies. The X-Room is a small view into the future of lodging. The technologies are varied and aimed to provide guests with tools that will enhance their stay whether they're staying for business or pleasure. Guests can be randomly assigned to the room or may request it. In return for the X-Room guests are asked to fill out a few questionnaires in order to learn about how the different technologies are accepted.
