Using HiGuide on iPhone and iPad

HiGuide is a software engine which can be adapted to all promotion and tour situations, from a park to a whole country.
Its features make it extremely efficient when used as a promotional vector for tourism using the iPhone as a mobile guide, or iPad as a gorgeous multimedia book.
HiGuide, promotion tool and tour guide

HiGuide is the generic name of a series of applications designed for touristic promotion and traveling.

For presentations and promotion, it goes well beyond all other mediums of communication, presented in Hi definition and large screen on iPad or in its mobile version on iPhone:

  • It makes use of all that multimedia has to offer: text, maps, photos, audio and video
  • It offers a simple means of searching and of displaying all types of results, thanks to its internal system of databases
  • It allows communication via the Internet, but also by direct «push notification» to the user..

    For visitors, it is an exceptional tour guide in its iPhone version:

  • Guided by GPS, the visitor always knows where he is and what is around him
  • The points of interest are classified by order of proximity, and one can research them by category or by typing freely
  • The descriptions can appear by text, by audio guide or by video
  • The tourists can personalize the guide by adding their own points of interest, with their own texts, sounds, images or films.
    		• HiGuide, motor of your application?

    HiGuide is designed to be rapidly adaptable to all types of presentations and tours. It can be personalized to correspond to any graphic design.

    A HiGuide application is made up of three parts:

  • A “heart” or motor, common to all guides
  • An assemblage of elements which constitute the guide: text, maps, photos, audio and video
  • A table (or database) defining the relationship among all these elements.

    The heart of HiGuide is furnished to all our customers and partners. We assume its maintenance, its improvements, and its evolution toward new materials of the iPhone type, and of its competitors and successors.

    As for the base elements, we can either create them ourselves or help our customers or partners to use that which they have at hand.

    For the databases, generally we take on the first version of the application, following which we can train you in their use.

    This methodology allows us to develop products of very high quality in the best conditions of cost and time limits. It also assures the evolution of titles in the future.

    • A particularly efficient means of promotion…

    On iPhone...

    The iPhone incorporates in just one gadget all of the media which used to live their separate lives: brochures and folders, books, videos, Internet…

    By furnishing the users a title presenting a city, an island, or a country, we are also giving them a tourist guide for their next visit: it will remain in their iPhone, their iPhone in their pocket, and HiGuide will be…their guide.

    ... and on iPad!

    The first iPads should be on sale at the end of march, 2010. However our first titles already play fine on the iPad simulator

    IPad will not be in your pocket... but it's a wonderful way to discover places, regions and islands. With iPad, the ergonomy, the navigation, the images and movies resolution are different from the iPhone, but the simplicity and comfort are even better.

    iPhone is a guide while on the spot, iPad is a book which can play hi-definition images and movies.
