The app provides a digital companion to the accompanying „Phaenomena” exhibition and offers new perspectives on natural phenomena and innovations across Switzerland.
Thematic trails link together knowledge points and bring the content to life in an interactive way. Presented in a multimedia and playful format, even complex scientific concepts can be understood intuitively.
Heart of the guiding concept are trails: thematic routes where users can experience scientific phenomena and discover exciting local innovations. Each trail connects knowledge with real places and makes science something you can encounter while moving through an environment.
In addition to guided trails, users can explore subject areas based on their own interests. Content can be saved and gradually grows within the app into a personal knowledge archive that remains relevant over time.

fluxguide develops edutainment apps and tourism-focused formats that bring places to life through interactive experiences. We would be happy to advise you on the right digital format for your content, target audiences, and technical requirements.
The app connects regional monuments, archaeological sites and the fascinating mythology of the region across five routes with more than 40 stops.
Augmented reality, 3D animations, audio content, images and texts open up new perspectives on historical sites, regional legends and scenic features – for tourists and locals alike.
In the interactive 3D object viewer, long-lost historical sites are brought back to life. Visitors can, for example, take a virtual tour of the Roman Villa Rustica and explore it in a 360° view.
Clicking on info points opens up fascinating content about the everyday life, architecture and customs of the Romans.
History comes alive at original locations: augmented reality makes it possible to experience past times first-hand. A Bronze Age village is brought to life in virtual form, and a historic burial site is made visible again through impressive AR simulations.
We would be happy to advise you on the possibilities of digital knowledge transfer for your institution. Arrange a non-binding initial appointment now.
The guide allows visitors to choose between guided tours and exploring on their own. At selected locations, they experience AR simulations that bring the past to life. With the help of our OCR text recognition function, visitors can also access in-depth knowledge digitally by scanning terms from wall texts with their cell phone camera.
The augmented reality experiences are a particular highlight of the app: Visitors travel through German-German history on the “Wunderbus”. In addition, Mirko Drotschmann alias “MrWissen2Go” accompanies visitors as a digital AR guide and vividly conveys everyday life in the camp at the time.
The former emergency reception center has a lot to tell. But how do you convey historical depth without wall texts becoming excessive?
We have developed a feature that links analog exhibition texts with explanations within the app. Technically, this “Object Character Recognition” works by storing glossary terms in the CMS. If one of these terms appears in a wall text and a visitor scans it with their cell phone camera, the word is recognized. A page with further information then opens.
The Federal President Theodor Heuss House Foundation commemorates Theodor Heuss, the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany. fluxguide developed an in-house guiding app that leads visitors through the exhibition and adds audio content to the media stations designed by Realtime Visions.
These audio contributions can be accessed by scanning a QR code or by entering a numerical code.
The Mediaguide works as headphones for the respective media station. The soundtrack of the video and audio content of the respective station is played synchronised on the visitor’s device. So there is no unpleasant background noise in the exhibition space and visitors can listen to the content immediately in their own language.
The media guide also makes it possible to call up in-depth information and transcripts and choose from specific tours through the exhibition. For example, even very young visitors can access the exhibition via a tour that breaks up the complex political content with playful quiz questions and conveys it in a child-friendly way. Visually, the app is based on the design of the media stations, ensuring uniformity and a clear overview.
"fluxguide developed the media guide for the Theodor Heuss Haus based on our ideas and designs and provided it on suitable devices. The lip-synchronised audio track, which can be heard exclusively in the media guide and harmonizes perfectly with the media stations in the museum, was particularly impressive."
Guido Stegmann, Realtime Visions
