INTERACTIVE AR MAPS
The company converts the street map of any destination into an interactive experience for users: by scanning a QR code, they will be able to move their mobile over the map and see the points of interest in 3D, and interact with the product in a totally different way.
These maps make it possible to:
View the destination's points of interest in 3D.
Listen to audio guides and information of interest.
Play videos.
Take virtual tours with 3D features, videos and 360º photos, images or PDFs.
Access useful content related to the key points on the map (links to web pages or ticket sales platforms).
Adaptable to language versions.
What elements can be marked?
As many as you want: monuments, museums, natural spaces, tourist offices, hotels and restaurants, public transport, etc.
What possibilities does it offer?
Versatility: The AR tourist map can be anywhere you imagine: a vinyl on the glass of an airport, a mupi, a paper map in a tourist office, always available for visitors to interact, etc.
Experiential: Visitors are given a map that, in addition to helping them find their way around the destination, will generate added value with an experience that adds a new dimension to the print version and complements the information on a tourist map thanks to AR.
Gamification: With this type of map, a tourist visit becomes a digital game, especially for children who enjoy these interactive experiences more. For this reason, these brochures are ideal for destinations that promote family tourism.
Adaptability: On interactive maps, you mark all the required points of interest and adapt them to different segments: holiday, family, adventure tourism, congresses, etc.
Complementarity: With map versions adapted to web format, download in PDF, AR activation through QR code, etc.

PHONE BOX TURNED TOURIST OFFICE
What can you do with the unused phone boxes in your city?
As per the New Law on Communications, Telefónica will stop maintaining the 15,000 phone boxes we all see every day from 1 January 2023.
And how can items like these that have become obsolete be useful?
For two reasons that are important when taking any public initiative:
Making the most of the work already put into the phone box and the electrical connections it already has. The phone box already has an electrical supply and connections to dashboards, saving money, time and effort put into the most tedious part of any outdoor construction that requires an electric current.
Making the most of the fact that it already has an internet connection. As phone boxes have copper cables, an ADSL connection can be set up And how can the phone box or the space it took up be used?
Convert the phone box into a digital information point for residents and tourists:
Remove the phone and replace it with a 18.5" exterior touch screen to provide 24/7 information, all in just 15 minutes.
Use it for municipal event and agenda campaigns in key areas within the municipality.
It could even be used for public Wi-Fi and fast mobile charging with USB ports.
What information can be included?
Geolocated information:
Cultural heritage, museums, monuments
Green routes, parks, outdoor activities
Leisure and shopping. Local gastronomy, craftwork, experiences
Attractions and events
The most Instagrammable spots, nightlife.
Administrative procedures.
Tourist routes:
Routes for one, two or three days
A route around the historic centre
A route through lesser-known sites.
A route around local leisure facilities.
The opportunity for the tourist to download all this information to view on their smartphone.
