Acoustiguide
Acoustiguide is the world leader[1] in interactive guides for museums, art galleries, heritage sites and other public displays.
Acoustiguide's first recorded guide was launched in 1957, a tour of Hyde Park narrated by Eleanor Roosevelt[2]. This tour was the first of its kind.[3] Acoustiguide's current products are solid state and include keypads to allow visitors to choose content appropriate to their current location in the exhibit as well as additional material as well as multimedia and video units. Acoustiguide technology is in use at hundreds of sites worldwide[4]
Systems such as Acoustiguide's, and those of competitor Tour-Mate, are identified as providing "industrial-strength systems that can be used as audio guides in museums and other cultural heritage sites and support typically a very wide range of human languages (reaching 20 or more.)"[5]
