Virtual Spa Attendant

January 20, 2010

In an era where companies deliver smart appliances that can keep notes, generate recipe ideas, calculate cooking times and heat food at warp speed, no one knows what manufacturers will come out with next to advance the technology in the automated home. While many of the prevalent updates have taken place in the kitchen, the bath is getting tech-savvy too. In the kitchen, the demand is for products that speed up the cooking process; in the bathroom, it’s all about slowing things down, relaxing and achieving a Zen-like state. 

Luxury steam shower manufacturer ThermaSol’s Virtual Spa Attendant, which comes with their Serenity Light & Music System, allows control inputs to be automated through the music speakers. The Virtual Spa Attendant features voice-automated commands like, “Hot steam activated please be seated,” “10 minutes remaining,” or “Steam system is shutting down.” The Virtual Spa attendant is also programmed for use with the chromatherapy feature of the Serenity Light & Music System. Chromatherapy is based on the ancient Indian art of the chakras and states that focusing a specific color on a specific body part yields a desired physical and emotional effect. With the Virtual Spa Attendant, when specific colors of light are displayed, the part of the body that benefits from the color is named, like “Heart,” when the light is green or “Stomach,” when the light is yellow. 

With ThermaSol’s Virtual Spa Attendant the luxurious experience of the spa in the home or guest suite is enhanced with convenient voice-automated features that will enlighten physical and emotional well-being.
