What is a Mobile Tour?

Mobile tours connect people and their stories to a place, event or institution using rich digital media — audio, video, images and text — combined with GPS technology and simple gamification.

As you explore, marked locations on a map come to life with video, audio, photos, augmented reality and virtual panoramas, turning a walk, drive or visit into an engaging, self-guided journey of discovery amplifying a person’s ‘sense of place‘ in an interactive and authentic way.

Our tours are built on STQRY, the platform trusted by the likes of Yale University, Auckland Museum and Museums Victoria.

They enable both reconnaissance and reflection on the key scientific concepts and relationships that we explore which adds significant value to critical learning done in the field. I have found Roger very willing to create and implement innovative ideas to achieve this goal."

Gair BethleyPresident, Australian Institute of Training and Development (SA Division)

"Geo-information is the lifeblood of tourism and allowing students to design and use mobile tours in their tourism course significantly added to their understanding of tourists' behaviour and them appreciating the value of integrating mobile apps in tourism business operations.
