Museum4U

This project is based of the technological development and interest of the Vysocina Region to offer the services which make the way to the information easier. Muzeum4U reacts on the new trends and brings the guiding system of the muzeum to your smartphone.

Via the museum tour you can have information in several world languages, read texts, listen to audio files or view short movies. System enables also the sign language for deaf people.

Guiding system uses two technologies:– NFC (Near field communication) a QR codes for making it available for more users
