A Japanese theme park is creating floating sleeping capsules to allow visitors to drift along to different attractions while they snooze. By the end of the year, the Dutch-themed park hopes guests will be able to stay overnight in the capsule while travelling to an island where they can explore its various attractions. The operator aims to draw tourists with its adventurous attractions and augmented reality technology across the 39,000sqm uninhabited island in Omura Bay, four miles southwest of its main theme park area in Nagasaki. Guests will able to looks out the sphere's large glass window to admire both the nighttime view of the park, as well as underwater. The hotel was recognised by the Guinness World Records as the 'first robot-staffed hotel' in the world.
