when culture becomes an adventure
Every species or object has an incredible story to tell. A sign under a painting, or next to a tank, often tells only a tiny part of that story. And visitors miss out on what makes it magical: the illuminating detail, the species we don't notice, the connection that gives meaning. We walk in, walk around, take a photo, and leave. Without really experiencing the place.
This is where real-time recognition changes everything.You point your phone, and what you're looking at comes to life: a name, a story, a key to better observation. The information becomes immediate, clear, accessible. The experience becomes fun, natural, memorable. Suddenly, you're no longer just visiting, exploring... and remembering.
With real-time visual recognition, Tiko Scan transforms how visitors engage with your exhibits. They simply point their phone and instantly see what they’re looking at, creating a seamless, immersive experience that modernizes your venue and sets it apart
Every scan unlocks a story. Tiko Scan brings species and artifacts to life with rich, multilingual content that goes far beyond static labels. Visitors don’t just read, they discover context, understand what they see, and build a deeper connection with your collections.
With TikoScan, every visit becomes a living treasure hunt. Quizzes, quests, and other gamified challenges captivate kids and adults alike, turning exploration into a playful adventure, boosting attention and engagement.
Up to as many languages as you need, inside one app.
No more compromises: every visitor accesses the content in their own language. No printing, no extra signage, no complex logistics. You provide the translations, and Tiko Scan delivers !
Are designed to work without an internet connection.
Our client sites often face accessibility issues due to poor internet connectivity. We have taken this problem into account: once downloaded at the entrance, the app works entirely without a connection, and visitors can enjoy all of the app's features throughout their visit.
Of the content is customizable by your venue.
You decide what visitors see: names, descriptions, fun facts, quizzes, images, and more. Aligned with your tone, your expertise, and your educational goals.
Since 2022, our SeaScan app developed by Tiko Scan has added a more interactive dimension to the visitor experience. The result: a marked improvement in visitor satisfaction, with very positive feedback on engagement and easier access to information.
We already had our own app: Tiko Scan integrated real-time recognition to enhance our solution. The result is a significantly improved visitor experience, which is remarkable. The solution is interactive, intuitive, and very easy to use.
Very smooth app that recognizes fish live. The goal of completing the species collection is really fun. We had a great time at the aquarium !
how it works
We visit your venue to capture the images and data needed for the smoothest, most accurate experience. Every site is unique, our technology adapts to your reality.
We build recognition tailored to your venue, trained for your exhibits, lighting, and visitor flow, so identification is smooth and reliable. We also shape your app’s “soul”: brand style, colors, layout, tone, pacing, and interactions.
You choose the content and language, we integrate everything into a smooth multilingual experience true to your tone and goals.You choose the features (quizzes, mini-games, quests, trails). We iterate quickly, test, adjust and repeat, until it feels right.
We deploy the app and monitor performance after launch. As your collection evolves, we can update content, add new items, and keep the experience fresh over time.

that fits your attraction
Discovery
We come to your venue to capture the images and on-site data our model needs. Every location is unique and we adapt our technology to your reality, not the other way around. We observe, document, and prepare the ground for reliable real-time recognition.
Your Signature
Your venue has its own identity and we want to reflect it. We tailor the interface, tone, and visitor journey to match your brand: colors, wording, visuals, and the way content is revealed. The result feels native to your attraction, not like a generic app.
the Exploration
Once everything is ready, we deploy and open the experience to your visitors. The app goes live with your content, your languages, and your on-site recognition. guests can start scanning, learning, and playing from day one. And as your exhibits evolve, Tiko Scan can evolve with them.
your next visitor
experience begins with a simple clic.

frequently
asked questions
Who writes the content, the descriptions, fun facts of what we expose ?
You can write it, we can write it, or we can combine both. We can integrate your existing content and/or help you structure it so it’s ready to use.
How can we measure visitor interest in the future app?
In previous deployments, we observed a +15–20% increase in NPS, a clear indicator of satisfaction and likelihood to recommend.
Do we need internet connexion to use your app during the visit ?
No. The visitor experience works without internet or Wi-Fi connexion the whole time.
How long does it take to deploy?
It depends on your venue (size, number of areas, and available content), and we plan the rollout accordingly. It usually take between 2 and 5 months. Feel free to contact us to estimate this delay together.
Who owns the data displayed to the user on the mobile app ?
You own your content: descriptions, fun facts, and any media you provide. We clearly define ownership and usage rights for any assets we produce as part of the project.
What happens if we change an exhibition?
We update the content and recalibrate when needed, so the experience stays accurate and evolves with your venue.
What if our venue already has an app?
No problem: we can provide our real-time recognition as a ready-to-integrate code module that fits into your existing mobile app.
