Ancient treasures and archaeological finds, abandoned buildings and sunken cities, hidden treasures and forgotten places,
historical events and famous personalities: with histourismus our history turns into a modern, impressive,
unforgettable and informative experience for everyone!
The concept of histourismus (his-to-ry meets to-urism) is innovative,
modular and economically sustainable. In combination
with the latest augmented reality technology and virtual 3D animation, our history is filled with new life.
Thus, histourismus offers a new approach to historical knowledge and so to all of our cultural identity.
Wherever visitors with an interest in history, culture and arts are welcome, there is the best possible place for histourismus!
Offer your audience a clearly structured, intuitive and yet impressive experience - from the abundance of an entire cultural and
historical region to the lovingly assembled private collection. Within the histourismus app there is place for everything.
Let's open up a completely new perspective for your visitors - to our history, our arts and our culture!
In recent years, conveying arts and culture is increasingly relying on modern digital presentation media.
Many institutions are already using apps for smartphones and tablets. However, individual and stand-alone solutions are offered
predominantly. Due to high costs of such products in most cases only mayor institutions are able to afford them. In addition,
these apps often refer to a specific setting or exhibition, which can often only be subsequently adapted within complex database systems.
However, if you have to completely redesign exhibition areas or wish to thoroughly extend content,
those apps have to be completely renewed in most cases. This usually comes with a considerable addition in the financial expense.
Similar to "good old" audio guides, which were often used for decades, those apps remain unchanged and are not to be updated for years.
The investments made to this point should pay off first before something new can be afforded.
Core of our histourismus structure is the individual exhibit, we title it Point-of-Interest (POI)
around which all the other modules within the app are arranged.
All the required detailed information, image galleries and optional virtual components are initially assigned to this POI. Individual exhibits or
POIs can then be grouped into different areas (e.g. floors, rooms, etc.). All of them together ultimately form the respective location, which can then be
explored using interactive maps and navigation.
Depending on the applications' planned size, several locations can either be initially summed up into cities
or can be presented collectively on the top level of a cultural-historical region.
Those individual levels provide you with the following options for your histourismus app:
Histourismus offers its modular structure throughout all levels and is therefore expandable at any time. For an individual
composition of your own application thus provides numerous options for technical extensions and content additions. With the help of our system
you can freely design the optimal product for your setting and develope it further over time.
We offer you a wide variety of modules for all kinds of purposes. Some components will have a global effect on the general structure of the app (supported operating systems,
language selection, differentiation into target groups, etc.). Valuable tools for statistical evaluations and analysis of the app usage can also be found.
Other elements are designed to offer your visitors different forms of virtual guided tours. In addition, specific graphic enhancements can be incorporated
for selected sites or special exhibits (virtual reconstructions, augmented reality, etc.). And we also provide you with a broad portfolio of ideas for the area
of playful knowledge transfer (edugames).
Histourismus is constantly developing new modules & features!
Even if a concept is as good as it is and would optimally fit the needs of potential customers, it often fails because of one thing: allegedly missing
financial resources. Therefore, structural, content-related, but also economic thoughts are usually not even undertaken. In our experience, such a
project is often perceived as a positive enrichment for a location or region in principle, but "unfortunately there is no money for it" and
it is for this reason not to be considered.
With histourismus we would like to take a new, yet innovative path together with our customers. Would it not be an advantage if
one can primarily talk on the app itself with not always having to see the financials as a primary knockout criterion?
Of course, there is no question that planning, design, programming, editing and marketing for a content-wise meaningful and well-functioning
application have their price. The decisive factor, however, is what options we offer our customers in order to ultimately cover these costs and manage them sensibly.
We therefore offer the following options for funding your histourismus app:
PAN Verlag was founded back in 1979 as a media publisher. Design and creation of innovative digital and multimedial
communication concepts in the areas of art/culture/history/tourism are the core of its work.
In the early 2000s an internal team of experts made up of historians, archaeologists, building researchers, educators and 3D graphic artists
was established. This gave the opportunity to offer high-quality, digital 3D reconstructions of historical contect on a scientific basis. Several projects with
well-known partners (e.g. City of Vienna, Archaeological Park Carnuntum , various UNESCO projects) prove both quality and success in this area.
To further optimize the specific portfolio, the creation of concepts for tourism focused on arts, culture and history has become a sustainable part of work.
Thus, histourismus and other ideas were created in recent years, which clearly stand out from the competition due to their technical,
sustainable and economic concept.

ViewAR has been developing and implementing Augmented Reality software solutions for more than ten years, especially in
mobile applications. With a team of currently 19 people, projects have been already successfully implemented for customers such as HILTI, Lufthansa Cargo,
Austrian Airlines, Lowe's, Dell, Markilux and many others.
The range of services extends from the visualization of products in augmented reality to AR indoor navigation and the visualization of IOT data.
The generic architecture of the system allows expansions to be implemented quickly and flexibly. This provides the customer with a high-quality and comprehensive
AR experience.
Exactly these technical concepts are used to form the basic framework for histourismus. Thus, this exciting, dynamic and impressive technology
can be used extensively in the conveyance of art, culture and knowledge.
