Spectacles is an app designed to improve the visitor experience to your Museum, Gallery, Historical site, Zoo, Botanical garden, and many more visitor sites.

Spectacles enhances your displays and exhibits to make your customer’s visits more informative, accessible and enjoyable.

Make your exhibit information easily accessible on an iPhone or iPad, by adding a highly visible Text or QR code to your exhibit display.

Your visitors tap in or scan the code of the exhibit that interests them, into the Spectacles app. The display information is immediately retrieved from your dedicated online database and presented on your visitors iPhone or iPad.

Not only that, but for maximum accessibility, the Spectacles app allows your visitors to alter the text size, toggle the contrast for improved readability, and can even read the display information aloud. Such accessibility features conform to WCAG guidelines.

You can add images to the exhibits, with additional descriptive text. Your visitors can scroll through the pictures and tap to expand and zoom in on detail.

The Spectacles App is designed for maximum ease of use, with a clear and unfussy interface and with all the accessibility functions available through a single button tap.

Your Exhibit Display Information is easily imported or entered manually into a cloud database, assigned to your organisation, via an intuitive and easy to use web browser interface.

Now you can overcome the traditional problems associated with exhibit display information :

Labels are often placed low down to accomodate children and disabled visitors (and rightly so)
Exhibits and their information may be set far back in the display
Font size and labels may be very small, where space is limited and item descriptions are extensive
Displays with light sensitive exhibits have low lighting and hence poorly lit information
Crowds around popular exhibits can make accessing the descriptions difficult

Help your visitors enjoy your displays even more, by presenting your exhibit information on the Spectacles app, easily viewed at their leisure.

The Spectacles Demonstration app gives you a full working overview of the app functions, with sample exhibit Text and QR codes available on the web at DEMO.SPECTACLES.ORG.UK
