The problem

What gets in the way today.

Static placards offer limited context, and human guides cannot be everywhere at once to bridge the knowledge gap. This often leaves guests with unanswered questions, turning what could be an enlightening discovery into a passive, surface-level viewing experience.

Furthermore, capturing the imagination of diverse audiences—particularly younger generations—is increasingly difficult in a digital age. Without dynamic interaction, historical and cultural exhibits can feel dry or inaccessible. This lack of active engagement is a missed opportunity to create a lasting emotional connection with the subject matter.

The solution

How Omnie Vox changes it.

Omnie Vox transforms the visitor experience by serving as an interactive, expert guide for every exhibit. Visitors can converse directly with the kiosk in any language to ask specific questions and receive instant, deep-dive information, unlocking stories and historical context that standard signage simply cannot convey.

Omnie Vox brings exhibits to life through fun and creative engagement. Whether simulating conversations with historical figures, telling immersive stories, or running interactive quizzes, Omnie Vox adapts its tone to entertain and educate. This turns museum exhibits into a memorable, immersive dialogue that resonates with visitors of all ages.

More applications

Where else Omnie Vox works.

VOX KIT

Gallery signs and display cases you already have, telling the story out loud.

A museum audio guide kit from Omnie Vox fits behind the gallery signs, floor directories and display panels already in place. Instead of a hired handset and a fixed script, the visitor presses a button at the display and asks their own question about the object in front of them, in their own language.

The exciter speaker mounts discreetly behind the panel, so the gallery looks exactly as your designers intended. Spoken interpretation reaches visitors who cannot read the label, and calm, on-demand answers suit sensory-friendly hours.

In practice

A museum is re-hanging a permanent gallery and reprinting its interpretation panels. Vox Kit is fitted behind six key panels as they go up. On opening weekend a visitor from São Paulo asks a bronze how it was cast and hears the answer in Portuguese, a visually impaired visitor is guided to the café, and the curator sees in Vox Net which object drew the most questions.

For every visitor

Multilingual, accessible and neurodiversity-friendly.

Compliance

Support for the standards and duties that shape accessible spaces.

Spoken, multilingual signage is a practical, documentable way to meet accessibility obligations, with Vox Net recording every interaction as evidence.

Legislation

Equality Act 2010

Requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments, in advance, so disabled people are not substantially disadvantaged. Voice-first signage is a documentable adjustment for visually impaired, dyslexic, neurodivergent and non-English-speaking visitors.

Standard

BS 8300:2018

The British Standard for accessible built environments asks for wayfinding information in more than one format, including audible. Spoken signage complements the tactile, Braille and high-contrast signs the standard already recommends.

Public sector

Public Sector Equality Duty

Section 149 of the Equality Act requires the NHS, universities, councils and transport authorities to actively advance equality and evidence it. Vox Net analytics give equality impact assessments and annual reports a measurable intervention to cite.

NHS

Accessible Information Standard

Mandatory for NHS and adult social care providers in England (DCB 1605), and monitored by the CQC. Requires information in formats people can understand, including audible and other-language formats. Omnie Vox meets this at scale, with an audit trail.

Building Regulations

Approved Document M

Part M of the Building Regulations requires reasonable provision for everyone to access and use a building, citing BS 8300 as its technical reference. Specifying Omnie Vox at design stage puts audible wayfinding in the inclusive-design package before sign-off.

Web

WCAG 2.2 AA & accessibility regulations

Vox App and the Vox Net control panel are keyboard operable, screen-reader friendly and high contrast, meeting the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and ready for the European Accessibility Act.

FAQ

Museums: common questions

Will the hardware be visible in the gallery?

The processor and exciter speaker sit behind the panel; only the button and microphone are visible, finished to match your signage.

Does it replace our audio guides?

For many museums, yes. There is nothing to hire or return, and the answers are conversational rather than scripted. Vox App can add a QR option beside individual objects.

Can it answer questions about specific objects?

Yes. Upload your collection documentation to Vox Net and each retrofitted sign answers about the objects it stands beside.
