Audio Guide Apps
Create and manage audio guide apps for museums, walking trails and events.Situate can be used to create apps that include the functionality of hand-held audio guides. Content is downloaded to the device so audio playback is immediate and without glitches. Situate’s ‘audio bar’ feature allows the user to continue browsing through the app whilst listening to an audio track.
Audio content can be linked to a location hot-spot – an iBeacon or GPS coordinates – and be set to play automatically when the visitor comes within range. As well as being a useful feature for audio guides this can also be used to assist visually-impaired users by providing wayfinding information as audio.
