Bringing Museums to Life with Technology

Leveraging Technology for Engaging Museum Experiences

Museums have a profound mission – to educate the public, spark curiosity, and preserve culture. But in an increasingly digital world, museums face the challenge of staying relevant and engaging to audiences. This is where Schallertech comes in.

With over 15 years of experience, Schallertech is an industry leader in leveraging technology to create unforgettable museum experiences. Our team of experts partners with cultural institutions of all sizes to conceptualize and implement immersive exhibits that educate and inspire.

Enhancing Museums with Subtle, Powerful Technology

At Schallertech, we view technology not as an end in itself, but as a subtle tool to enhance the visitor experience. Our design philosophy focuses on using multimedia, interactivity, lighting, and sound to highlight the unique essence of each museum. The result is exhibits that tell compelling stories, bring history to life, and create lasting connections between visitors and human heritage.

Transforming Museums into Dynamic Stages

Whether revamping an existing museum or building a new one from the ground up, Schallertech draws on a deep well of expertise to create spaces that educate the mind and stir the imagination. Discover how we can transform your museum into a dynamic stage for arts, culture, and discovery.

Elevating Museums: Our Services

Conceptualization and Design

We don’t simply build museums, we craft experiences. Our conceptualization process sets the vision. Through workshops, site visits, and exploratory sessions with stakeholders, we gain a deep understanding of your museum’s essence and goals. Using this insight, we shape an overarching narrative and visitor journey to guide the exhibition design. This provides a storytelling framework to captivate audiences while aligning with your mission.

Hardware/Software Selection and Integration

Technology should enable experiences, not overpower them. We carefully curate hardware and software solutions to spotlight your exhibits and artifacts. Interactive touchscreens allow hands-on engagement, while discrete sensors and cameras enable immersive environments. Projection mapping transforms spaces into canvases of light and wonder. Our engineering team seamlessly weaves these technologies together into orchestrated solutions that feel intuitive and enriching.

Audiovisual Systems

Impactful exhibits begin with quality A/V infrastructures. We design and install robust display systems, from subtle digital signage to panoramic video walls. Discrete or dramatic, our screens showcase artifacts and digital media in the best possible form. We overlay spatialized audio to envelop visitors in exhibit stories. Control systems bind everything together, enabling easy management of media scheduling, lighting scenes and more.

Lighting Design

Lighting makes or breaks exhibit experiences. Our designers strategically craft lighting to set mood, highlight artifacts and guide visitors through the space. Delicate accent lighting showcases fine details. Dramatic scene-setting transforms rooms with the click of a button. Color-changing LEDs add dynamism. We layer lighting textures to create ambience fitting your exhibits.

Acoustics

Sound is subtle yet powerful. Our acoustic engineering optimizes spaces for clarity and comfort. Discrete sound-absorbing treatments reduce reverberation, so every narration, interaction and whisper can be savored. We tailor audio designs exhibit-by-exhibit, managing reverberation and sound isolation to ensure immersive experiences.

Interactive Exhibits

Interactivity invites engagement. We create custom interactives using touchscreens, augmented reality, projections, sensors, robots and more. These experiences turn passive observation into active participation, providing entertainment, education and connection. Visitors can investigate artifacts, play games, manipulate virtual environments and even chat with historical figures. Our media team brings these concepts to life through coding, 3D modeling and animation.

Content Production

Great content makes exhibits shine. Our creative team produces striking films, animations, touchscreen media and text panels. Through illustrated timelines, detailed CGI recreations and expert documentaries, we share knowledge in an accessible way. Immersive visuals, emotive storytelling and conversational language makes exhibits relatable and memorable. We ensure content is historically accurate, aligned to your vision and optimized for the delivery medium.

Project Management

Even the boldest visions need structured execution. Our project managers oversee the entire project lifecycle – from concept to opening day. We facilitate team coordination, ensuring the exhibitions, architecture and tech integrate seamlessly. With extensive experience on heritage sites and public buildings, we navigate complex venues. Our process ensures budget adherence, risk mitigation and on-time delivery, so you can confidently bring your vision to eager audiences.

Benefits for Museums

Increased Engagement and Learning

Technology-enhanced exhibits go beyond static displays to provide interactive and multisensory experiences. This captures visitor attention, promoting more meaningful engagement with exhibit content. Visitors spend more time absorbed in exhibits and hands-on activities, retaining the information better. The variety of participatory options keeps diverse groups engaged.

Memorable Visitor Experiences

Thoughtfully designed exhibits using visuals, sound and interactivity create experiences that visitors connect with emotionally and intellectually. These immersive encounters imprint positive memories and shape attitudes towards learning and culture. Visitors are eager to return and share their experiences with others.

Ability to Showcase Exhibits Innovatively

AV systems and creative media production services allow artifacts and exhibits to be presented in exciting new formats not possible with traditional displays. Detailed 3D models give intimate access to rare objects. Augmented reality blends digital elements with the physical space for interactive learning. Large-scale projections transform entire rooms into immersive environments.

Revenue Generation Opportunities

Technology also enables museums to implement new revenue streams. Gamified, interactive experiences create value-added offerings. Enhanced ticketing services and multi-media event hosting draw new bookings. Expanded gift shop and cafe options, enabled by digital catalogs and ordering, increase spending. We can collaborate to identify and integrate options tailored to generate more revenue.
