The aim of our 3D Acoustic Journeys is to immerse you in a specific place and have you contemplate the site, notice its uniqueness and explore and sense its works. Visitor experience becomes an inner experience. You will transcend screen and device and forget the technology to dive into a visual and acoustic reality and live fairy-tale magic. The technology works through select HD headphones that enhance the sound quality and a smartphone that displays the content in optimal quality. The application receives the signals sent by « beacons ».
« Beacons » are little markers that emit a radio wave that is then detected by the application. Their range can be calibrated. They use the Bluetooth Low Energy standard and work both inside and outside. As « beacons » are energy-efficient, they can run for several months, or even years. Their energy level can be checked. The simple batteries needed to power them are easy to change. The technology used is dynamic, so the interface and settings can evolve constantly with the utmost flexibility. The 3D Acoustic Journey® user data generated by visitors can be collected, making it possible to monitor visitor and user information (length of the visit, transition rate, etc.).
