Wonderfully immersive stories delivered on environmentally friendly and reliable technology that puts the focus on the visitor’s experience.

We are Ireland’s leading audio guide production company, and when it comes to hardware our philosophy tends to be the simpler the better! In today’s world we lose so much time to our demanding phones and devices. So we believe that when a visitor comes to your site, they shouldn’t spend their time looking at an interactive screen and pressing buttons, they should be looking all around them and taking in their wonderful surroundings. The actual device should become almost forgotten, as they focus on story and place.

However, in some circumstances an audio visual handset is the best approach. This is particularly true when you want to layer information, so the visitor has flexibility and can dig down to the layer that they are most interested in. It can also be a very effective way of catering for particular audiences – for example, it would allow you to have one tour specifically for a younger audience as well as a general tour.
