Available at the convenience of the walker
-Most pilgrims as well as other travelers want contact and a story about the place they are at. Previously, we were dependent on opening hours and that the areas were staffed. We want the coastal pilgrimage to be available all year round and with the offer of an audio guide we are opening up for an expansion of the experience, with information about the place and the history, says Laila. Furthermore, she explains that the guide’s content has real and pleasant narration voices that are activated when the walker is in the right place. Inside the solution, there are also pictures that show what it looks like inside a building, how it looked in the old days and of the people it tells about. The walkers can also be surprised with music, poems, and holograms of people.
All this is easily available on the hiker’s own smartphone.
Audio guide
-a supplement to personal guides
– The smart guide is available around the clock along the route from Avaldsnes to Trondheim. We see that the audio guide is a good supplement to our guides and a good use of resources. Our personal guides will of course still be available on selected days and times, explains Laila, and adds that they are now adapting to an audience that will decide for themselves when they want to go on trips and go on adventures.
