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 Szelfi app, connected to the Ethnographic Collection of the Balaton Museum in Keszthely, was created with a playful tool and modern technology and the integration of a face recognizing software. The easy-to-use and free application allows the user to hide in the skin of people in photos selected from the museum’s collection pieces. You can save and share your own images of the face change.

Our application entitled as A Successful Mine Rescue from 1888 was housed in the new permanent exhibition of the Mining Museum, which is the exhibition place of the Béla Dornyay Museum in Salgótarján. The development, implemented as part of the exhibition on the history and memories of the Nógrád coal basin mine rescue, is a quiz game embedded in an animation that authentically processes the entire 56-hour rescue. Thanks to the application we developed, visitors can learn about the lucky mining accident in 1888 through storytelling and creative learning tools.

The purpose of the Sümegfoglaló app is to playfully present the sights, natural and built cultural and historical values ​​of the city of Sümeg. Through the application for the Ramassetter House and Visitor Center, we provide easy and fast access to local history knowledge, offer an experiential reception to local residents, students, teachers, tourists visiting the city, and those interested in the city. The map-based quiz game helps to get to know the sights of the city, with the game we provide a popular tool for non-formal learning and teaching.
