The system

Create and run projected experiences.

Create content in Studio, project it with Pro-Cam units and follow its use in Analytics. Museum teams choose the content and adapt it to each exhibition.

System diagram showing Spectaria Studio, Spectaria Manager, the Pro-Cam Unit, the M3 Plate, anonymous NFC wristbands and aggregated Spectaria Indicators connected to an interactive spatial museum experience — Studio creates the content. Pro-Cam units project it. Visitors interact through physical controls, and Analytics reports how the experiences are used.
