TECHNOLOGIES WE UTILIZE

Can you make an interactive kiosk or tablet experience for our visitor centre that actually holds up all day?

Yes — we design visitor experiences with reliability first: simple UI, offline fallback, and hardened install procedures so kiosks stay running during peak footfall. We include a short runbook (how to restart, swap media, basic troubleshooting) as part of delivery. Tell me the expected daily visitors and hardware you plan to use and I’ll sketch a robust kiosk checklist you can use — want that now?

Will you help us make an experience that respects and includes local Māori stories properly?

Absolutely — we work with local cultural advisors or can help locate tāngata whenua partners to consult on content, language and tikanga so the experience is authentic and respectful. If you share the story area and any local contacts you already have, we’ll propose a cultural-consult plan and next steps — should I draft that for you?

Can you build AR or VR experiences for Rotorua attractions, or is that overkill?

We build AR/VR when it genuinely adds value — for short, memorable interactives AR (phone/tablet overlays) often gives high impact at lower cost than full VR. We’ll recommend the right tech after a short concept review (audience, interaction time, device availability). Tell me the audience (families, teens, tourists) and I’ll outline AR vs VR pros and costs — want the quick comparison?

How do you handle training and hand-over so our staff can run the experience after you leave?

Every on-site project comes with a hand-over: an admin panel walkthrough, a 1-page runbook, and a one-hour training session (remote or in person). For larger installs we offer an optional support retainer. If you tell me how many staff need training and whether you prefer in-person or remote, I’ll propose a hand-over plan you can budget for.

We have a tight season — can you deliver before peak visitor months?

Yes — we do focused delivery sprints for seasonal deadlines. We’ll scope a minimal reliable version for launch and add polish later. Share your launch date and top three must-haves and I’ll map a sprint plan showing what’s realistic to deliver for your season — want me to draft that?

What about maintenance — who fixes it when something breaks weeks later?

We offer short maintenance packages (hourly support or small monthly retainer) and can train a local staff member to handle basic fixes. We also provide clear escalation for urgent on-site failures. Tell me how many locations and how quickly you need response, and I’ll suggest a maintenance package you can present to stakeholders.

We’re a small arts group with a small budget — can you still make something useful and affordable?

Yes — we specialise in high-impact, low-cost slices (interactive photo spots, short guided AR trails, kiosk quizzes) that deliver visitor value without big budgets. We’ll help you prioritise what moves the needle most. If you share your top two goals and a rough budget band, I’ll recommend the best affordable slice to build first — want that recommendation?
