INTERFACE The web version of the GuidiGO app is getting a complete makeover! Tours are now even more accessible thanks to a new responsive interface that is easier to use. The updated Web App includes two new exciting possibilities for users: an instant mobile experience on the go and Street View Tours for. All the users have to do is open their web browser when they arrive on site to access the tour. There’s no longer any need to install an app. Twice as fast as the former version, tours now load almost instantaneously. The app makes accessing tours much faster and easier. If the tour takes place outside, or inside a building already mapped by Google, the GuidiGO interface automatically synchronizes with Google Street View data. In Street View mode, the location of each stop is indicated with a pointer. USABILITY The system combines the game by the concept of AR which allows children to learn about cultural heritage. This is a great twist on an old favourite. Treasure hunts or quests outside the classroom have long been a staple of engaging lesson plans. Guidigo allows you to take this one step further. We use Guidigo to create active learning experiences hitherto inconceivable, and in the process redefine the learning space. These type of learning experiences really speak to the needs of visual learners. 47 MOBILE APPS in EDUCATION
