Acoustiguide’s Smartour Apps: New Features & Innovations, New Fascinating Projects

Aug 17 2011

Acoustiguide’s Smartour apps enable museums, galleries and heritage sites to provide visitors new access to art and cultural treasures on their own mobile devices, offering a rich and engaging experience. With museum-goers on our minds, Smartour is designed to offer a mobile multimedia tour of any collection or exhibition, which can be taken before, during or after a museum visit, from anywhere, at any time, and in multiple languages.

 

Now on iPad and Android
In addition to Smartour for iPhone and iPod Touch, we now offer Smartour on iPad and Android based-devices as well. Users can download our Smartour apps from iTunes as well as from the Google Android Market.

 

Smartour apps can be downloaded from www.acoustiguide.com/tours-apps, and QR codes are available to make accessing the applications even easier.


GPS and More New Features
Thanks to the multiple platforms available for Smartour, visitors can choose to explore tour content using their personal devices. And now they can explore your content with an expanded variety of user-interface hierarchies and selections that add:
• Thumbnail matrix to the traditional numeric keypad
• Numbered exhibit list / categorized list
• Interactive map
• Search function
• Cover flow images

 

Smartour’s new GPS activation allows users to locate themselves on the automatically-activated map, navigate their way, and select points-of-interest on outdoor walking tour apps!
