What is a 42Kites Experience?
At its core, it’s a better way to provide useful information or share a story — about a product, a place, a moment, or even an idea. You can bring that information to life with content modules like videos, photos, audio, 3D models, text, and more.
You can see lots of demo Experiences (and our Augmented Reality App) on our Demo page.
42Kites Experiences help your organization by:
- Saving money: No need to keep printing (and reprinting) signs or brochures
- Saving time: Let your staff focus on people, not repetitive explanations
- Expanding access: Reach more people with translations, screen readers, or larger text
- Boosting engagement: Make everyday things more interactive, personal, and memorable
Let’s say you want to share the why behind a product, a room, or a display. You could build an Experience with a useful content like behind-the-scenes video, interesting photos, a short audio clip or scavenger hunt. You’re not limited to one format — you can include as many types of content as you want, all in one screen.
Visitors just tap or scan a nearby SmartLink Card to open the Experience on their phone. To make sure everyone feels welcome, the Inclusion Bar is automatically displayed at the bottom and includes language translation, visual impairment controls and text-to-speech. Best of all, no app is needed.
For example:
- A hotel might offer a digital tour of its artwork or spa amenities
- A college campus might share stories from alumni or student guides in each department
- A retail shop might let customers explore product details, videos, or how-to guides
- A city park might provide nature facts, walking routes, or audio from a local historian
- A transportation hub can show todays bus departure and arrival times
You can even include promos, calls to action, or links to book a service or buy something online — it’s totally up to you.
Best of all, you can create and update your Experiences right from your 42Kites dashboard. It’s fast, easy, and works on any device.
SmartLink Cards are the bridge between the physical world and your digital content — and Experiences are what bring that content to life.
