When you step into a futuristic technology exhibition hall, what greases you might be suspended holographic images, interactive smart sand tables, or robotic arms shuttling through the space. Behind each exhibit lies a story of technology. However, in your past visiting experiences, have you ever encountered such troubles: the guide’s voice being drowned out by the crowd, missing key explanations when moving to the next exhibition area, or feeling dizzy and confused while wearing bulky headphones?

Today, I’d like to introduce you to an invisible tour guide – the multi?channel tour?guide?system. It doesn’t wear a microphone or hold a small flag, yet it can embark on an immersive technological journey for you the moment you step into each exhibition area.

The predicament of visiting a technology exhibition hall

I believe many people have had similar experiences: they were full of anticipation before going to a technology exhibition hall, only to be doused with cold water by all kinds of inconveniences upon arrival.

I still remember last year when I took my nephew to visit the exhibition hall, in order to hear the guide’s introduction clearly, we had to squeeze at the very front of the crowd. The guide walked fast, so the people behind had to run after him. When encountering popular exhibition areas, such as the “Metaverse Experience Zone” at that time, it was packed with people layer upon layer. Not to mention listening to the explanations, you even had to stand on tiptoe to look at the exhibits. One time, my nephew curiously ran to the “Robot Interaction Area” and touched the mechanical arm. When he came back, the guide had already led the main group to the next exhibition area. We two missed the key explanation of “How robots recognize objects” directly. My nephew was quite wronged for quite a while because of this.

The exhibition hall is crowded and noisy

Once, while listening to a lecture on the history of space exploration, a child behind me was crying and making a fuss. A few tourists beside me were discussing the exhibits. I pricked up my ears and could only make out a few words like “Shenzhou V” and “Yang Liwei”. As for the principle of rocket launches and the design details of spacesuits, I didn’t understand them at all. Later, I could only look at the exhibit description board by myself. However, there were too many professional terms on it. My nephew asked, “What is an escape tower?” I read the explanation over and over again, but still couldn’t explain it clearly to my child.

The rhythm is out of sync

Some visitors want to stay a little longer in the exhibition areas they are interested in. For instance, I want to take a closer look at the demonstration of “quantum communication”. However, the tour guide has a fixed route and time. You must go down at the designated points. If you stay for a few more minutes, you will have to visit by yourself. Last year, because I watched the 3D printing area for two more minutes while the printers were working, when I looked up again, the entire visiting group had vanished. In the end, I could only follow another group of unfamiliar tourists and listened to the second half of the story in fits and outs, which greatly reduced my experience.

This time, with the Yingmi multi-channel tour guide system, all these problems have been solved. There’s no need to chase after the guide, no need to squeeze through the crowd to listen, no need to fear missing the content, and even no need to wear any equipment – it’s just like having an “invisible guide”. Quietly following by your side, it talks wherever you go. If you want to stay a little longer, it will stay with you a little longer. When you leave this exhibition area, it will automatically “shut up” and never disturb others. This kind of “tailor-made” visiting experience is exactly what a technology exhibition hall should be like.

The details make the experience to the fullest

Some people might ask: Isn’t it just an explanation system? Could it be so magical? But only after truly experiencing it do you realize that the thoughtfulness of the Yingmi MC200 is hidden in many details you wouldn’t have imagined.

Accurate positioning

The staff informed us that this system employs high-precision multi-frequency positioning technology. A single zone can cover an area of 300 square meters. Even if there are many people, dense display cabinets, or numerous corners in the exhibition hall, it can still accurately locate your position. I deliberately conducted a test: I walked around the robot model twice in the “Artificial Intelligence Zone”, and then deliberately sat on the rest chair at the edge of the exhibition area for a while. The explanation followed me clearly all the time, neither suddenly interrupting nor crossing over to the explanation content in the adjacent “Biotechnology Zone”. When my nephew ran to the “voice interaction” experience desk at the very back of the exhibition area, the explanatory voice followed him steadily and automatically switched to the content of “The principle of voice recognition”, which was particularly intelligent.

Hear clearly

No matter how noisy the environment is, I’m not afraid of the noise. In the past, when visiting exhibition halls, I was most afraid of encountering a noisy environment – the voices of visitors, the operating sounds of equipment, and even the distant announcements would all drown out the voices of the tour guides. But this time in the Aerospace Science and Technology Zone, there was a study tour group organized by a school nearby. More than ten children were chattering away about rocket models, but the explanations in my ears were still clear, without a hint of noise. Later, I learned that this system can automatically filter out interfering sounds in the environment, leaving only clear explanations. Moreover, the audio explanations are all professionally recorded, with excellent sound quality. For instance, when talking about the “Martian atmosphere”, one can even hear the simulated Martian wind sound, providing a particularly strong sense of immersion.

Technological sense linkage

Not only can you listen, but you can also “see” the explanations. When I reached the “Machine Vision” booth in the artificial intelligence area, as soon as I stood still, the voice of explanation rang out. At the same time, the lights above the booth suddenly dimmed. Only the camera and the items in the center of the booth were illuminated. The screen beside it automatically played the process of the camera recognizing the items – the explanation said, “Machine vision is like giving a robot a pair of eyes,” and the screen simultaneously displayed the scenes seen by the “eyes”. The staff said that this is the “sound and light linkage” function of the system, which can automatically control the lights and equipment according to the explanation content, allowing you not only to “hear” but also to “see”. For instance, when talking about “5G technology”, the holographic projection beside it will automatically start, showing the transmission process of 5G signals, which is much more vivid than just listening to the explanation.

Flexible and worry-free

Meet the needs of different people. Some tourists prefer to wander around on their own, like me. I can stop wherever I want. Some tourists prefer to follow the tour guide and listen to more detailed information. This system has a “dual-mode switching” function – it is in automatic mode under normal circumstances, and you can talk as you go. If there is a tour guide leading the group, it can be switched to manual mode. Wherever the tour guide goes, the explanation of that exhibition area will be strengthened, and details can also be supplemented in coordination with the tour guide’s oral introduction. Moreover, the system has an exceptionally strong battery life. The receiving end can work continuously for 10 hours. Even if the exhibition hall is open from morning till night, there is no need to worry about interruption in the middle. In addition, the system also supports the connection of background music and emergency broadcasts. For instance, the notice of the museum closing at noon will be broadcast clearly without interrupting the ongoing explanations, which is particularly considerate.

Immersive experience

After visiting the entire science and technology museum, my nephew excitedly told me, “Auntie, we had such a great time today!” I’ve learned how rockets fly into the sky and how robots recognize things!” Looking at the small notebook filled with knowledge points in his hand, I suddenly felt that a good science and technology exhibition hall should not only display scientific and technological achievements, but also provide considerate science and technology services to enable everyone to easily understand and like science and technology.

In the past, when visiting exhibition halls, it was always like “rushing to a fair” – afraid of missing the explanations, I had to stare at the backs of the guides and walk quickly. For fear of not hearing clearly, I have to squeeze into the front row. To prevent the child from running around, I have to hold his hand all the time. After the tour, I only remember that “there were a lot of people” and “we walked a lot”, but I have no impression of exactly what I learned or felt. But this time, with the Yingmi Multi-channel Zoned explanation System, the entire visiting pace slowed down. We could watch the printer slowly print out a small model in the “3D printing area” and listen to the explanation clearly explaining the principle of “layered printing”. You can stay in the “Quantum Communication Zone” for a while longer until your nephew figure out “why quantum communication cannot be eavesdropped on”. You can even sit down in the rest area and listen to an explanation about the “history of the Development of science and Technology”, gradually absorbing the knowledge you have learned.

This kind of “immersive experience” is exactly what a technology exhibition hall should offer visitors – truly stepping into the world of technology and understanding the principles and significance behind each achievement.

Next time you visit an exhibition hall, why not look for this “invisible guide”?

When leaving the science and technology museum, my nephew was still talking about “machine vision” and “Mars Base”, saying that he would come again next time. Looking at his excited expression, I suddenly felt that the significance of technology lies not only in creating advanced achievements, but also in using these achievements to improve people’s lives. Even if it’s just a one-time visit to the exhibition hall, allowing visitors to have less trouble, more gains, and a greater love for technology, it is also very valuable.

If you visit a technology exhibition hall next time, you might as well pay attention to whether there is such an “invisible guide” – you don’t have to chase after it, you don’t have to wear any equipment, it will tell you wherever you go, clearly, considerately and with a sense of technology. If you come across one, be sure to have a good experience: listen to the stories of rockets in the “Aerospace Technology Zone”, take a look at the “eyes” of machines in the “Artificial Intelligence Zone”, and learn about the mysteries of life in the “Biotechnology Zone”. Trust me, this kind of visiting experience where “the sound rises when people arrive and the sound follows the people” will make you fall in love with visiting the technology exhibition hall again.

After all, the significance of visiting exhibition halls is never to “finish the visit”, but to “understand” – to understand the wisdom behind each technological achievement, to understand the changes that technology has brought to life, and to understand the infinite possibilities of the future. The YingMi Multi-channel Zoned Explanation System is the considerate helper that helps you “understand”.
