Hello Catherine, During the last months we had quite some experience with iBeacon technology. We have several installations running with beacons and also equipped the House of European History in Brussels with this technology last year. The iBeacon technology works well when their special features and limitations are taken into account. Content-wise a triggering technology always offers a chance to add a new layer to visitor experience, this can be sound according to visitors’ position or something else. For the Castlecenter (Borgcenter) in Vordingborg, Denmark we created a triggering according to visitors position in the permanent exhibition. Each thematic zone has a video projection but the soundtrack to each projection was played on the tablet guide with headphones. The sound is also played in sync with the video projections, when visitors move from one zone to another, audio fades with transition to the next soundtrack, also playing in sync to the next projection. This installation was done in 2013 with RFID technology but nowadays we’d do this with iBeacons.

We’re still at a very early stage of content discussions here, but we know that we don’t want to duplicate material that people can already find on our website and audio guides. Has anyone had success (or failure!) with different types of content? And for those of you who have implemented it, what has the take-up been like for the download of the app? All advice from the group gratefully received! Apologies if this has been covered by the group recently!
