From a technical point of view, the Virtual Guide is a Progressive Web App (PWA). This innovation combines the advantages of a conventional app with those of a website. The content can be changed and adapted dynamically. The Mauthausen Memorial is also no longer dependent on the big app stores of the tech giants.
The already tried and tested Mauthausen Memorial app has been migrated entirely to this new technical format and continues to offer visitors the option of self-guided audio tours of the memorial site.
Further extensions of the Virtual Guide are currently being developed. In cooperation with “Bewusstseinsregion Mauthausen - Gusen - St. Georgen”, two further modules will soon give visitors insights into the regioal environment of the Mauthausen and Gusen concentration camps.
The virtual guide and its first two modules on the Gusen and Mauthausen concentration camps can be found on the website www.mm-tours.org
