A guest in a travel setting seeing herself at the destination in a mirror

Hospitality & Travel

Sell the destination in the lobby.

A brochure asks a guest to imagine the trip. Manifest Mirror shows it to them — on their own face, in ninety seconds, with the recording in their inbox before they leave the building.

The point of decision

Travel is bought as a feeling.

Hotels, travel agencies, airports, cruise terminals and tourism boards all hold the same asset: a person standing still, in a space, with time to spare. Print and screens describe the destination. A mirror puts the guest inside it while they are still in front of you.

Inspiration at the point of decision

The gap between browsing and booking is imagination.

A guest in a hotel lobby or a travel store is already interested. What they cannot do is picture themselves there. The mirror closes that gap in one glance: camera to transformed video, continuous, with the face unchanged.

  • Identity lock. Face, proportions and expression are preserved. Only wardrobe, setting and lighting change.
  • Ten destinations, one session. Guests switch moments mid-session — beach, alpine ski, city break, desert safari, sailing day, spa retreat.
  • Two modes. Full world places the guest at the destination; outfit only keeps your real lobby behind them.
  • No app. The unit runs in kiosk mode; the phone pairs by scanning a QR code.

The recording as the shareable trip

The souvenir leaves with the guest and comes back with friends.

Every session is assembled into a recording and delivered by email. The guest owns it, shares it and re-watches it — usually long after the poster on the wall has been forgotten. For you, that is a contact with consent and a piece of travel media you did not have to produce.

  • Phone as remote. Pairing through qr.manifestmirror.com lets guests choose the destination from their own screen.
  • Delivery by email. The address is given by the guest, for the recording — not harvested in the background.
  • Short retention. Recordings are auto-deleted after seven days, email deliveries after thirty.
  • Made for sharing. Portrait format by default, so the moment travels the way guests already post.

Travel world

Six of ten destinations.

A brand world is ten moments the guest can move between during one session. Below: six from the Trivago demonstration world, built to show how a travel brand reads on the mirror.

Trivago is presented as a demonstration concept built for the Manifest Mirror platform. It does not imply a commercial relationship with the brand shown.

Placements

Where a mirror earns its floor space.

The unit needs one power point, one network connection and a sightline. Everything else is a question of dwell: put it where people already wait, decide or celebrate.

01

Hotel lobby

Check-in queues and pre-dinner waits are dead time. A portrait unit beside reception turns them into a session, and into an upsell conversation about the spa, the excursion or the suite.

02

Travel store and agency window

A 9:16 unit facing the street plays attract mode all day. Passers-by stop, step in and see the destination on themselves before an adviser has said a word.

03

Airport lounge and terminal

Long dwell, high intent, no patience for forms. Ninety seconds fits between a boarding call and a coffee; the recording arrives while the passenger is still airside.

04

Cruise terminal

Embarkation halls are full of families with time and cameras. The mirror gives them the first holiday picture of the trip before the ship has left the quay.

05

Tourism board pavilion

Regions sell landscapes they cannot ship to a trade hall. A world of ten local moments lets a visitor wear the region instead of reading about it.

06

Resort, spa and club

On site, the mirror sells the next experience: the dive, the summit, the treatment. Outfit-only mode keeps your own architecture in shot.

Formats and looks

Five formats. Nine looks. One network.

The mirror format follows the placement, not the other way round. The interface look follows your brand. Both are set centrally, so a group can run every property from one configuration.

9:16 portraitFree-standing unit for lobbies, store windows and terminal walkways. The default for full-body travel moments.
3:4 uprightCompact upright for reception counters and concierge desks where floor space is tight.
1:1 squareCounter unit for travel-agency desks, pavilion pods and pop-up stands.
4:3 landscapeWall-mounted format above a check-in counter or a lounge bar.
16:9 landscapeWide wall installation for atriums and terminal halls, where the crowd watches as well as the guest.

Interface looks available to every venue:

The session

Ninety seconds, start to inbox.

Short enough that a queue keeps moving through a check-in rush. Long enough to try three destinations and keep the one that fits.

  1. Attract

    The mirror runs its attract loop unattended in kiosk mode, with all assets precached so it keeps running if the connection drops.

  2. Pair or touch

    The guest scans the QR code to use their phone as the remote, or starts on the unit itself. No app, no account.

  3. Ninety seconds

    They pick a destination and see themselves there in continuous video, switching moments as often as they like within the session.

  4. Recording by email

    The guest enters an address; the recording is assembled and delivered. Staff never handle a file.

Give the person in front of the screen something worth having, and attention stops being something you buy.

Questions

For operators and marketing teams

Yes. Manifest Studio builds your world as a set of ten moments — scene, garment reference, prompt and ambient video for each — then tests it on a mirror before it is published to your venues. The Studio schedule runs from brief to live in about ten days.

No. The mirror runs as a fullscreen progressive web app in kiosk mode. Guests who want to steer from their own phone scan the QR code and pair through qr.manifestmirror.com in the browser.

The camera runs only for the session, and only after consent. Recordings are auto-deleted after seven days and email deliveries after thirty. No biometric templates are stored and guest footage is not used to train models. Details are on the privacy and compliance page.

Yes. Outfit-only mode changes the wardrobe and keeps the real background, which suits properties whose architecture is part of the sell. Full-world mode replaces the setting entirely. The venue chooses per installation.

Manifest OS runs the fleet: central configuration, content distribution, health monitoring, remote diagnostics and kiosk lock. Session length is set once and applies everywhere; looks and formats stay per venue.

Both models exist: a seasonal or campaign rental for a lobby takeover or a travel fair, and a permanent installation for a flagship property. Commercial terms are on request — talk to the team.
