The Selfie application is an interactive tool to complement the ethnographic exhibition of the György Thúry  Museum in Nagykanizsa, entitled “The more fancy, the more beautiful…” – The folk costume with loose skirts and pearl nets in Zala. The selfie, related to the theme of the exhibition, virtually dresses the user in costumes of the time, thus helping the user to travel through time in a playful way. The resulting image is a montage of the user’s face in a contemporary life scene, a person dressed in a typical folk costume. The design of the application is the result of a collaboration between our company and the museum, using graphic elements that match the exhibition.

Put the city in your pocket!

With this cultural tourism app, our aim is to provide our customers with a tool to easily and quickly design and publish thematic tours or virtual walks of local values and cultural treasures.

 

Main features

Spreading local and cultural knowledge in an engaging way 

Game modes

Administration interface 

With the app, you can create any number of thematic walks without any restrictions: city walks, themed tours around a specific event or celebrity, a competition for students – unleash your creativity! During the walk, the presentation of spectacular places can be enriched with interesting content, we can engage the audience with quizzes and invite the whole family to play games. In addition to individual play mode, you can also compete, so a whole class or group can join in. Using the capabilities of the mobile device, the app sends information or guides the user to the next point in the game based on their physical location. On a desktop computer or in a web browser, it presents the points of interest in a virtual tour.

An administration interface is available for editing the walks after logging in. As the very first step, attractions have to be recorded together with their descriptions and associated media. These recorded items will serve as each ‘stop’  while creating guided tours and quiz-enriched playful walks. One stop can of course be used for several walks.

What to use it for?

In addition to creating outdoor tours, the app is also suitable for creating an indoor media (or audio-only) tour guide service based on QR codes.

Cloud service

Qulto Attract components are offered as a cloud service, installed on the servers of Qulto. The service includes server hosting (monitoring, backup), hosting and software usage.

Applications are web-based, running in a standard browser, with responsive design. The administration interfaces is also accessible from the browser.

In case of termination of the contract, the content created by the customer will be made available in a viewable format, without any additional charge. This will not include interaction elements offered by the application and the possibility of navigating between the pages.

Hardware requirements

The applications are run as cloud services, and our company takes care of the storage and serving of data, and of the operation of server-side programs. To answer technical questions and troubleshoot any technical issues that may arise, our company operates a support service. The visitor interfaces are browser-based and, thus can be accessed from a variety of workstations and mobile devices. The use of CityConquest is independent of any collection management system used by the institution.

Training

On-line consultation is included as part of the purchase for all applications. The administrator interfaces are simple, easy to use, and working with them does not require any preliminary training or IT skills other than the ones used for everyday work.

Qulto Digitize is a mass digitisation framework that provides solution for public collections, the general public and individual users as well for collaborative processing, grouping and repository management of text and image content. The main advantage of the framework is that it eliminates the need for both the use of other software and applications, and the cumbersome movement of files to be processed. Besides, it enables multi-user workflows.

Our module allows you to create, register, manage and share digital assets and their associated metadata with broad range of audiences. Furthermore, it also provides secure storage of master files, creation of on-demand converted versions, optical character recognition (OCR), watermarking and digital rights management (DRM) of files.

We support the digitisation of books, journals and analogue copies with workflows that make the collaborative work of consortium members transparent. Our system also provides a tool to manage the division of labour and the sharing of income and costs. Digitize is able to export and import METS-compliant digital objects and their metadata; we support digitisation processes with character recognition software; and detailed digitisation allows users to create independent e-documents from pieces of complete works. We can also record legal information and provide digital protection (DRM) for the works. Our system includes native, master and original files, the latter being generated automatically.

Groups of people working with digital objects – let them be university work groups, teachers, e-learning professionals or researcher – need an online platform where they can work on packages of files together in a way that will require them to move those files as infrequently as possible.

The Q360 application is a spherical panoramic virtual exhibition and walk through in a web environment with a responsive design. By creating 360 degree spherical panoramic virtual exhibitions and virtuals walks, you can digitally create or archive exhibition spaces. Using marker points placed on spherical panoramic images, you can place details from the real space in the virtual space and even complete it with additional, extra information. This way we can tell and show more about the objects than we could in a simple physical space.

Interfaces

In the administration interface of the application, it is possible to create virtual exhibitions and to define spherical panoramic images, so-called scenes, in these exhibitions without any additional help. Marker points placed on the scenes can be used both to transfer knowledge, information, and to navigate between scenes within the virtual exhibition.

The visitor interface is the main element of the application, where visitors can view a virtual exhibition. Here, it is possible to navigate between the scenes (i.e. spherical panoramic images) of the virtual exhibition, and by clicking on marker points to view the textual and visual information assigned to the scenes. A spherical panoramic image of a scene can also be viewed using VR glasses (Oculus Rift). For instance, a museum with several rooms can be presented in such a way that each room is a separate scene, but for larger rooms, multiple scenes can be defined as well. The visual information displayed in the scenes is not bound to physical space.

Beacons (bluetooth devices) have been installed for each of the 50+ outdoor models in the Park of a Thousand Years in Mórahalom. The Android application is designed to show the park through walking routes or in a ‘free wandering’ mode. While visiting the site, the information associated with miniatures is automatically displayed on the tablet by identifying the signal emitted by the beacon device. Stops on the routes also include a quiz question for the given model.

Altogether, a unique and spectacular application have been implemented, with a variety of topics belonging to each thematic route where the beacon signals associated with the models can be used to view the content associated with them.

Színházi emlékezet megőrzése

Posted on: April 15th, 2021 by akovacstapai

A 2017-2018-ban készült színháztörténeti portál főoldalának átstruktúrálása volt a feladatunk. Az időközben megváltozott igényeknek megfelelően az Országos Színháztörténeti Múzeum és Intézet kapcsolódó felületén egy teljesen új nyitóoldal került kialakításra, a korábbi főoldal almenüben kapott helyet. A portál a megrendelő kérésére további almenüpontokkal gazdagodott, illetve a munka során megújultak a keresési és fórum oldalak is.

Az Országos Színháztörténeti Múzeum és Intézet „Színházi emlékezet megőrzése” elnevezésű projektje keretében a Monguz Kft. egy komplex gyűjteményi adatbázisra támaszkodó színháztörténeti portált készített.

Az adatbázis nemcsak leírja, tárolja és közzé teszi a kutatók által összegyűjtött színházi dokumentumokat, hanem előre meghatározott szakmai szempontok szerint rendezi, előfeldolgozza a forrásokat. Nemcsak a leíró adatokat, hanem magukat a forrásokat is elérhetővé teszi digitális formában, valamint a kutatás – részben a honlapon publikált – szöveges eredményeit is összekapcsolja a múzeum gyűjteményében található forrásokkal.

A digitális platform (szinhaztortenet.hu – mely hamarosan elérhető) további feladata, hogy olyan felületként működjön, melyet minden későbbi szakmai és tudományos publikáció referenciaként jelölhet meg, mivel az egyes előadásokról, színészekről, színházról fellelhető információ szakmailag alátámasztva, megszerkesztve tárul a közönség elé.

Together with the team of passionate professionals from Bistrița, Qulto developed a new concept of an interactive multi-media guide, that combines elements of augmented reality and audio-guide to transform the walk in the exhibit into a quest, a game-like experience.

The app, called Explore CMBN (CMBN being the acronym of the museum) is available on mobile devices and offers the visitor a wide series of information related to the museum history, the building itself, details on each department, each room and on the most important items in the exhibit. The content comes in the form of text, professional audio recordings, images and 3D scans. The guide is available both in English and Romanian, thus making the museum more accessible for tourists everywhere. After a short introduction and tutorial, the users have to scan the QR codes next to each room or object in order to get details on that specific collection or items. Unlike during a guided tour, visitors can focus on items that draw their attention. Moreover, items have keywords, based on area of interest or object category, so that a person interested in jewelries or weapons will get recommendations on that specific type of objects. The multi-media guide is just one component of a bigger project that Bistrița Museum Complex designed together with Qulto.

The project also involves using Qulto museum software for the management of the collections, thus creating a database with complex metadata for more than 30000 museum objects. A public online catalogue of the most valuable items will soon be available.

The main concept of the game is to teach and distribute knowledge related to local history and culture. Your mobile device shows a map on which certain areas have to be seized by giving correct answers to the culture related questions. Visiting the given area increases your chances while playing the game as the questions cover the local sights – famous buildings or statues. Also, aid is given in the form of descriptions, fun-facts and images, and your performance can be shared on Facebook in the end. The GPS data of your mobile’s location enable the system to determine about which area the questions should be about. Also, small tags on the map that mark the sights included in the game serve you as an exciting and „smart” guide in the city.
