experience epics
Once visitors choose their tour and language, they can walk around the monument guided by their headset wearing only headphones. The sound is triggered automatically, no need to find the right cartel anymore.
use case
Language and tour type setting
As soon as a ticket is validated, the configuration of the Confident given to a visitor is carried out in a few seconds via an NFC interface. The visitor can choose amoung 3 tours and define the language. The sound sequences during the tour will be adapted to the visitor’s profile (language and chosen tour)
use case
Digital support
During the tour the visitor will have digital cues to discover more about the Hôtel de la Marine: animated historical figures, an animated section of the building, a film explaining the urban and architectural transformations of the Place de la Concorde…
use case
Automatic audio triggering
Beacons detect visitors as they pass through a room, in front of a work of art or in front of a multimedia device. Certain sound contents dedicated to works or devices are only broadcast when the visitor’s gaze is directed towards them.
use case
People flow management
Beacons placed along the route collect visitor information (rooms visited, time spent) in real time. The data collected by the server is used to manage visitor capacity.
The Confident spatializes a theatrical scenography with stories and music for an immersive experience. The various digital devices come to life, monuments and decorations tell us what they have seen and heard. For a moment, it lets you experience history in the present.
use case
Immersive narration with binaural sound
The Confident provides visitors with a dynamic binaural experience. The sound diffusion adapts in real time to the head movements of the visitor. Can you hear a fire crackling in a fireplace to your right? Turn your head and the crackling will seem to come from in front of you. A figure calls out to you from behind? Turn around and it will seem as if he is now facing you.
use case
Smooth audio transition
Two distinct sound streams can be managed simultaneously. It is thus possible to lower the volume of the room sound ambiance when a speech begins in front of a work. This enables smooth audio transitions for an immersive experience.
use case
Dancing mirrors
In the grand salon, visitors will find large rotating mirrors displaying ball scenes through history.
