When Real Journeys (formerly Fiordland Travel) were developing their new Doubtful Sound product www.realjourneys.co.nz\/Main\/Doubtfuldaytime\/<\/a> they asked our advice on developing a new interpretation plan.

With the ever increasing use of screens, mobile devices and a desire by visitors to have stories when they want them (as opposed to site only options) we believe technology can offer some solutions.<\/p>\n We successfully implemented both:<\/p>\n i-space\u2122 and i-box\u2122 <\/p>\n Whats hot 2010<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Much of our work has been focused on the development of modern, interactive interpretive experiences.
