THE EXPERIENCE The user experience is a key concern for the designers of BaladoDiscovery, which is why numerous utilities are offered to participants, including SEE AROUND: allowing you to access all the additional content around you, in addition to the current experience, without having to change maps (handy in areas where many other points of interest on other circuits are offered). The complete list of utilities is available at the top of each interactive map (Operation tab). Explore thousands of suggested points of interest and access historical information about each location on demand. Explore at your own pace, depending on what interests you. BaladoDiscovery offers a scalable technology that has stood out from the crowd over the years. The platform has developed by expanding its market in stages, without seeking to grow anarchically at all costs. Known as the largest network of its kind in Canada, BaladoDiscovery is gradually opening up to the development of the international market. New tours are prepared and reviewed with the help of advisors and moderators before being presented to the audience. MULTILANGUAL The BaladoDiscovery interface is available in English, French and Spanish: the interface language can be changed from the ABOUT menu. Some tours may also be presented in other languages. As for the tour itself, all available languages are displayed and can be selected from its presentation page. CONTRIBUTORS The existence and continuity of the BaladoDiscovery network is due in large part to the financial contributions of its tour partners, who in return receive an accessible tour tool for smartphone owners, as well as network visibility and indirect visibility from other contributors.

Cette application permet aux visiteurs de faire apparaître en 3D et ce, dans l’environnement réel, un voyageur du temps. Ce dernier, appelé Cléophas, raconte l’histoire d’Héberville, la toute première municipalité du Lac-Saint-Jean à avoir vue le jour. Cléophas nous accueille et nous guide à travers des stations aménagées cœur du village dans un parcours piétonnier. Nous pouvons considérer cette nouvelle approche technologique et Cléophas, comme un guide touristique du futur. Il est une version ultra actualisée des anciens audio-guides. À la fois ludique et informative, la réalité augmentée, telle que nous l’utilisons dans cette application, nous permet même de recréer une partie des bâtiments du passé, le village devenant ainsi une sorte de musée à ciel ouvert. Nécessite un appareil compatible ARKit Nécessite une présence au Village d’Hébertville. L'application est liée au parcours piétonnier spécifiquement aménagé pour l’expérience.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cleophas at none against BaladoDiscovery's 1. Cleophas also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). BaladoDiscovery's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 30 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
