Abstract:
A tour system or device and a method using the system or device that comprises a location element tracked by e.g. GPS or RFID, and optionally comprises sensor elements such as an accelerometer, gyroscope or temperature sensor and acoustic detector, that allows a multitude of interactive sensory effects or feedback and creates a feeling of immersion that is fully aligned with the theme and atmosphere of the tour experience. The system, device and method provide real time or near-real time interactive sensory feedback and effects based on a user's change in location, orientation, temperature or acoustics. The system, device and method is flexible with regard to number of different effects, and number of changes in location or direction that trigger them. A plurality of user devices may interact with each other as part of an immersive tour experience.

Claim (Index 1):
A tour system comprising a location element configured to be carried by a user of the system, wherein the tour system comprises a tour device that is operably connected to a plurality of operably connected system components comprising:\n a data processor, a point of interest (POI) data store, a tracking module, a trigger module, a sensory effect generator, and optionally a feedback module; wherein each of the system components is either configured in the tour device and the tour device itself thus forms the tour system, or is configured in one or more external devices that are operably connected to the tour device and together with the tour device collectively form the tour system; wherein the POI data store comprises a list of POI and corresponding data that defines one or more sensory effects including sequence and timing of the one or more sensory effects, wherein the tracking module is operably connected to the POI data store, is configured to receive location data from the location element, and determine the location element's proximity to one or more POI, and optionally the orientation of a sensor element towards one or more POI; and wherein the optional feedback module is operably connected to the POI data store, is configured to receive status data from the one or more sensor element, and determine a change in the one or more sensor element's status including a change in location, orientation, visual detection, acoustic detection and temperature; wherein the trigger module is operably connected to the tracking module, to the optional feedback module, and to the sensory effect generator, and triggers the generation of the one or more sensory effects by the sensory effect generator depending on the tracking module's or the optional feedback module's determination of a location element's proximity to a POI, a location element's orientation towards a POI, and a sensor element's status change; wherein the sensory effect generator generates the one or more sensory effects as defined in the POI data store.
