Thanks to a grant from The Inclusivity Project

Training for venues using our personalised tools can now take place remotely over a zoom call utilising the machinery purchased with the aid of the Grant. If you would like to create your own branded Guides and publish them for free within our app get in touch.

Thanks to the inclusivity project we can guide you through creating your own branded tours that will be fully inclusive (they work for the normaly enabled, blind, deaf, those with reading difficulties and signpost for those with mobility issues)

New Grant :

Now & Then App Guided Tours. Guided tours on the Now & Then App triggered on location via low energy Bluetooth beacons to make them more accessible and inclusive.

Thanks to a grant from Smartline https://www.smartline.org.uk/ Now & Then are now able to provide low energy Bluetooth beacons to smaller venues so they can create location-based inclusive Guided tours within their buildings at no initial cost. This will enable each venue to earn funds to improve its own digital infrastructure and provide their own beacons in future releasing the original beacons to other venues. If you are a smaller venue and wish to create your own guided tours at no cost other than a small amount of time, get in touch, get powered by Now & Then. Smartline you are Amazing. #infrastructure #digital #cornwallmuseumpartnership #cornwallmuseums #WeAreSmartline

We are getting there!

Still climbing that Mountain but we are nearly there, thanks to #Smartline, #madebyprism, #zoe.partington and Gavin Griffiths of Power Audio Productions we we have started a build that will enable the Blind, the visually impaired and those with reading difficulties to visit (remotely or in person) Museums, Art Galleries and other such “Visual” attractions that have not been so enticing to them before.

Next accessible outdoor and indoor venues/walks for the mobility impaired, linking to other apps content to help them be found by location and to help support them financially where they charge. #theoutdoorguide #theswcoastalpath #thecoastalpath #ramblers #walkCornwall #visitcornwall #slowways #bbc #bbcradio4 #accessable #history #heritage #archives #oldphoto #cornwallmuseumpartnership #museums #museumsincornwall #museumsofcornwall #museumsoftheworld #museumsofinstagram #cornwallmuseums #digitalmuseums #immersivemuseums #immersivetechnology #immersiveexperience #immersive #cornwall #cornwalltoday #cornwalluk

Just a short note to say thank you to those of you testing the tools and app. You know who you are! You are making it possible to create guided tours for free. Providing a Chargeable or free no touch solution that makes social distancing possible, (tours can be none linear). We also plan to make this accessible for the visually impaired, the blind and those with literacy difficulties, increasing footfall. I am grateful that you are able to help in this exercise, it will have positive health effects and provide much needed income for the tourism industry. If you know of others willing to assist as well please get in touch, I can only support a limited number so the sooner the better. #Pendenniscastle #cornwallmuseumpartnership #visitcornwall #kresenkernow #nationaltrust #nationaltrustcornwall #englishheritage #falmouthartgallery #nationalmaritimemuseumcornwall #nationallobsterhatchery #stmichaelsmount #stivestourism #bbc #sportybethcf #elliegregor #museums #museumsincornwall #cornwalltoday #immersivemuseums #digitalmuseums  #museumsofcornwall #cornwallmuseums #museumsoftheworld #museumsofinstagram #immersiveexperience
