How Triggered Audio Works

A deep dive into the SoundSpots visitor experience, trigger technologies, intelligent audio management, and multi-device synchronization.

The Visitor Experience

A visitor opens the app and enters the space. As they move, proximity detection identifies their location and audio plays automatically - narration, music, sound effects, and atmospheric ambience. No manual selection, no QR codes, no numbered stops. Content plays in the visitor's chosen language.

Trigger Technologies

BLE Beacons for indoor precision, WiFi Networks for zone-level detection, and GPS Geofencing for outdoor tours. All three can be combined on the same spot for redundancy.

Intelligent Audio Management

Priority system, exit modes, trigger rules with complex AND/OR logic, and layered ambient soundscapes - all managed with volume ducking and anti-ping-pong stabilization.

Multi-Device Sync

Via an optional USB serial dongle, multiple phones hear the same content in perfect sync. A tour group of 10+ people all hear the narration at the same moment.

Multi-Language

One installation, multiple languages. Content is localized within the same spots - visitors switch language with a single tap and hear all audio in their preferred language. No separate configurations or duplicate setups needed.

Offline Operation

Works fully offline once configured. Audio files and configuration are downloaded to devices in advance. No internet needed during operation.
