FROM STORY TO WALKING EXPERIENCE

Build the tour in one workspace. Deliver it wherever visitors explore.

TCB Self-Guided Tours gives museums, historic sites, campuses, cultural organizations, and visitor destinations a practical way to create and maintain their own narrated experiences.

Staff can record or import narration, organize reusable audio versions, define physical beacon locations, arrange the exact visitor flow, test the experience in a simulator, and export a complete package for the mobile tour device.

A WORKING AUTHORING SYSTEM

Build the experience before a visitor takes the first step.

The Tour Studio brings narration, physical locations, playback order, and delivery into one understandable workspace. Staff can update the experience without rebuilding the mobile application.
