Hello Joe, We have recently completed an audio guide for Bristol City Council's Ecohome. Budget and accessibility were the key considerations and working with the RNIB we selected the most appropriate CD Player. This provides a cost effective product that is perhaps slightly less "cool" with all the new MP3 players on the market. And with the large buttons also means that it is accessible to the visually impaired. To introduce ourselves, mPower Media works at the leading edge of interactive media production across all digital platforms. mPower Media offers experienced production management from concept development through to user testing and final launch, delivering high quality solutions that focus on usability. Our core team skills are in project management. We are producers who work with a team of highly talented designers, writers and audio-visual experts to deliver imaginative, but effective, creative solutions. I hope this is of some help. If you'd like to talk to my Client at the Ecohome, or require further information please feel free to get in touch.
