Heritage sites

Let visitors hear the stories held by a place

Journey Pal turns rooms, landmarks, ruins and outdoor points into a self-guided multilingual experience that visitors open on their own phones.

  • Historic buildings and outdoor sites
  • Location-based stops reached by QR code
  • Text and narration for different access needs
  • Content that can change without new signs

Interpret a place without filling it with panels

Heritage settings often need the physical environment to remain visible and uncluttered. A discreet QR code can open oral history, archival images, reconstructed voices and deeper context without turning every room or viewpoint into a wall of text.

Create a route that follows the site

Stops can match historic rooms, walking-trail points, archaeological features or the sequence of a guided story. Visitors choose their own pace while the venue keeps control of the approved interpretation.

  • Whole-site routes and selected highlights
  • Codes on maps, entrance signs and location markers
  • Prepared versions for international visitors
  • Updates without replacing a handset collection

Experience from New Zealand heritage attractions

Journey Pal is already used at Shantytown Heritage Park and the Buried Village of Te Wairoa, where the relationship between place, story and visitor movement matters as much as the technology.
