OrpheoDroid Application

Google’s Android is the fastest growing mobile and tablet platform on the market. Android has shown exceptional growth and is creating tough competition in the smart phone and tablet segment. Its increasing popularity has fueled the sale of Android products and, in effect, increased consumer demand for Android apps.

The OrpheoDroid App is an Android application dedicated for museums, tourism and cultural sites. Thanks to the OrpheoDroid solution, it is very simple to deploy and manage multimedia Android applications on smart-phones and tablets within participating cultural sites. Our mobile software technology is entirely compatible with classic tours and standard audio guides which helps museums and sites leverage their audio-tour portfolios. The OrpheoDroid application has been designed with flexible architecture which allows you to select the specific features needed to provide the best end-user experience.

Keyboard tab: The visitor can access the commentary by typing in a number on the touch screen keypad of the device.

List tab: The visitor can choose a point of interest (POI) by making a selection from a list of stop titles.

Map tab: Available tour stops are displayed on a map. For outdoor sites such as city tours, the position of the visitor can be indicated on the map. With this feature, it is also possible to setup auto-trigger mode which initiates the commentary automatically. The Map tab can incorporate different levels and sub-levels of a building. For large sites, it is possible to create a map inside another map.

Bookmark tab:  This function allows visitors to save their favorite information, to return to it later, either during or after the tour.

Info Tab: This feature can be customized to provide different types of information (user guides, museum mobile websites, visitor information, special announcements, RSS feeds, etc.).

The standard OrpheoDroid application is compatible with Android SDK 2.1, 3.1, 4.0 or later. In order to offer the best experience to end-users, the content is specifically formatted to fit the display screen of the device. This allows optimization of the screen resolution on tablets and minimizes the download time for smartphones.
