The company’s main activities focus on:
- Service Design - Having understood the importance of service design and its impact on alternative forms of learning experiences, we create several solutions that serve this approach, starting from focusing on the users’ perspective and delivering a solution based on their needs.
- Tangible Experiences - Tangible and intangible heritage experiences require different approaches for ensuring the active involvement of individuals through digital means. We experiment with solutions that can bridge the gap between the tangible aspects of cultural heritage and the virtual world.
- Personalized CH Strategies - Communities rich in cultural and/or historical heritage and cultural heritage organizations are constantly facing critical decisions when seeking ways to make their “products” more appealing to the public. Our “product customization” approach supports the implementation of personalized strategies aiming to provide individuals with long-lasting cultural experiences.
- Gamified Engagement - Gamification elements are always providing innovative experiences and support the implementation of learning models differentiating from the traditional ones. We use Game-Based learning to foster knowledge dissemination and support individuals in the acquisition of new skills. Gamification learning provides new learning models which are very appropriate for communicating efficiently the concepts of cultural and historical heritage (tangible and intangible).
