Microsoft has continued their campaign of bringing Multitouch to every person in the nation by signing a deal with Sheraton. Under this deal, several of the key facilities under the Sheraton chain will be getting Multitouch devices in their lobbies to help visitors with several different new features.

Sheraton hotels in San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Chicago and New York will be benefitting from the Multitouch-enabled Surface devices as they get installed in the lobbies of hotels in all five cities. These surface devices will be embedded in tables located within the lobbies and will be accessible by anyone that wants to walk into the lobby and use the computer.

Computer functionality is rumoured to be quite high as the people using the Surface computers will be able to call up information regarding the city as well as using the touch screen interface to map out routes and brainstorm different ways for them to get to where they are going. Additional travel information will also be available such as restaurant and activity guides.

Finally, people will be able to use the Surface computers available to them as modules for entertainment. They will be able to play music of many different sorts as well as show guests images of the city. In fact, there is one application installed on the computers known as City Tips, which is an application that has a completely circular view of the city. It will be one of the most comprehensive city planning aides available in the world today and it is something that Sheraton is already bragging about in their latest press releases.
