Introduction to Tour-Mate’s Multimedia Products

Tour-Mate’s handheld multimedia guides are designed to enhance visitor engagement and understanding in museums and themed attractions.

These interactive guides provide a rich, immersive experience by delivering location-aware content that triggers media based on where visitors are in the exhibit. With features like video, audio, and interactive touchpoints, visitors can explore deeper layers of information at their own pace. Some devices offer the possibility to lity to bookmark favorite moments and follow up on content after their visit creates a lasting connection to the exhibit, allowing guests to share and revisit their experience long after they’ve left.

In addition to the native apps on our handheld devices, Tour-Mate offers the development of custom mobile and web-based apps to suit your particular venue and visitorship.
