Das akustische Informations- und Leitsystem TellDing im Leipziger Grassi-Museum

An mehreren Orten und Stationen innerhalb des Museumsgebäudes und der Ausstellung wird man nun akustisch informiert, was man vor sich hat oder wo und wie man weiter kommt. Das System TellDing reagiert dabei abhängig von Sprache oder Informationsbedarf der Besuchenden mit unterschiedlichen Inhalten. Ohne Handy oder App, ohne Audioguide zum Mitnehmen. Man trägt einfach ein Lanyard mit elektronischer Eintrittskarte (TellDing-Avatar) um den Hals. Das TellDing gibt dann am Aufzug oder am Exponat die passenden Informationen aus oder leitet auch blinde Besucher:innen zu sich.

Das Erklärvideo im Museum zeigt den TellDing Avatar

Kinder bekommen andere oder anderes aufbereitete Inhalte als erwachsene, fremdsprachige, blinde oder gehbehinderte Besuchende. Auch der Abstand, ab dem die Audionachricht ausgegeben wird kann sich je nach Nutzer:in unterscheiden. Der Aufzug sollte sich bei einer blinden Besucherin von Weitem melden, während das Exponat erst in unmittelbarer Nähe die Beschreibung ausgibt.

Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf der WebSite TellDing.com

Die Installation beinhaltet das Gerät und einen kleinen Lautsprecher

The TellDing® comes to the GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig

An exhibition should be a multimedia experience and accessible to all. No complex installations will be made and no app or devices are necessary.

The TellDing® system, developed by me, reverses the technical bring and is exactly for this reason extremely interesting and without alternative for certain applications!

The task:

An object should 1. be able to be found only by hearing (in the dark or for blind visitors:inside).

2. the object should identify itself and provide audio or video.

The users do not need 3. a device or an app.

Use cases:

The exhibits in the exhibition are recorded.
A door, an elevator, the stairs, the toilet – i.e. the destination guidance.
The room text or ambient sound should be played.

The visitor does not need the guide or the smartphone in his hand. The intelligence is in the device at the exhibit or at the POI (such as doors, elevator, room text). It recognizes what it should offer him/her on the basis of an element carried by the visitor on the lanyard.

An audio information and guidance system entirely without an app. Accessibility fast and inexpensive.

A system informs your visitors without any effort.

TellDing is installed in the museum at the exhibit, doors and stairs, room information, etc. The visitor approaches the corresponding information point or exhibit with his visitor’s card (entrance ticket) and receives audio information in his native language. Blind visitors get detailed audio description. As a talking point, the TellDing even helps blind visitors find the object or door or elevator by simply allowing the visitor to follow the audio source. Ingeniously simple! And no great cost to set up.

Instant audio guide. Information on the object itself provides orientation and information for everyone

TellDing ist ein "instant Audioguide" und Orientierungssystem in einem.

TellDing® is a system that provides visitors to a building or exhibition with individually adapted information about the object via audio. This audio information can also be used for orientation towards the object. An elevator or a staircase will therefore speak „Stairs to floors 2 to 8“ from any distance that can be preset. A blind visitor can then orientate himself and move precisely. More information at TellDing.de

TellDing is an „instant audio guide“ and orientation system in one.

Hidden or exposed, it uses a proximity sensor to provide information in the language and depth of the visitor’s individual needs.

TellDing as an orientation system provides blind visitors with acoustic guidance to the object.
