Technical performance offline
After downloading using Wi-Fi, the Whisper of Wine AR app works offline. This digital solution is solving the shortcomings that will improve the travelers' experience in real-time (i.g. cities, prehistory sites, archaeological sites, fortresses, protected natural sites, industrial heritage sites, wineries, gastronomy, accommodation, restaurants)


User experience
By pointing the phone at the objects or landscapes, travelers will see virtual images within the actual photo (i.g. pop-up typography with information) in the chosen language in real-time. They can quickly decide how to explore and what/where to do or go (i.g. visit local attractions, sleep, eat, and try the local wine and food).
