The main goal is to allow visitors to access a mobile digital compagnon instantly, on their own mobile devices, without any internet connection needed or prior download restrictions, all in their own language. The visiting companion is distributed through the visitors’ devices web browsers, as a WebApp, loaded on the fly, without storing any single content or assets. Lots of innovative aspects have been integrated on the GEED platform: indoor positioning without native application required and compatible with all mobile terminals, artworks recognition features through the smartphone camera, management of an evolutive multilingual and universally accessible on-site offer.
The main goal of the project was the multi-scenario and cross-platform management with a unique web based tool. As such, all the contents and scenarios available in the interactive kiosks, in the visitor companion and digital signage screens are managed from the same GEED cloud BackOffice. A complement goal was to let visitors access all the artworks’ informations in a simple and innovative way. Livdeo’s platform integrates an automated import module for wall descriptions processing, automated translation and text-to-speech, machine learning for artworks recognition in order to make artwork’s descriptions available on the visiting companion. The visitors engagement with the artworks has to be as natural as possible, without technical constraints.
