Key features of the Podcatcher

By offering a flexible, user-friendly, and immersive audio tour experience, the Podcatcher enhances visitor engagement and ensures an enjoyable exploration of museums.

  • Multiple Triggering Options
    The Podcatcher provides customers with three convenient ways to trigger audio content, allowing them to choose the method that suits them best. Whether visitors prefer scanning the Beacon using Bluetooth, pointing their Podcatcher towards the Beacon using infrared, or relying on UWB automated triggering. Combining those offers flexibility and customization.

  • Group Tours
    With the Podcatcher you can host your own tours. Connect a microphone, or use the internal to stream your voice to the Podcatchers of your visitor group allowing you to relay your personal stories to your guests.

  • Automated Triggering
    With UWB automated triggering, the Podcatcher can recognize designated zones that automatically trigger relevant audio content as soon as a visitor enters a particular area. This feature proves especially useful in large exhibits or rooms where visitors may not be aware of all the available audio content. It enhances exploration and ensures visitors don't miss out on valuable information.

  • Long Battery Life and Power Options
    The Podcatcher operates the whole day on a single battery, minimizing maintenance efforts for museum staff. Additionally, it is easily charged by simply placing it back into the Basecamp after usage.

  • User-Friendly Design
    The Podcatcher is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. Visitors can trigger audio content effortlessly by scanning the Beacon, pointing their Podcatcher towards it, or simply entering a designated zone. No complicated apps or setup procedures are required, allowing visitors to focus on their museum experience.
