How to Implement the Group Tour Mode

Step 1: Enable Group Tour Functionality to a Beacon

First, access the Guide-ID platform and navigate to the "Hardware" tab. Open the "Group Tour" sub-tab.

Step 2: Assign a Beacon to the Group Tour

Follow the intuitive step-by-step wizard available on the platform to assign a beacon to the group tour feature. Make sure to sync these new changes to the Podcatchers.

Step 3: Create a Group Leader Podcatcher

When a Podcatcher scans the designated beacon, it will vibrate, indicating its conversion to a Group Leader Podcatcher. An audio prompt will further confirm this transformation and guide the user on the subsequent steps.

Step 4: Join the Group

Visitors wishing to join the group now only need to hold their Podcatchers near the Group Leader Podcatcher, instantly integrating them into the group.

Once the group setup is completed, the Group Leader can talk into their Podcatcher, and the message will be Broadcasted to all other associated Podcatchers, thereby creating a synchronized group listening experience.

By simply implementing this feature, you can add a new dimension of collaborative learning and shared experiences to your museum visitation.
