When a French tourist stood in front of the ancient Egyptian exhibit case at the British Museum, repeatedly rewinding to try to figure out "how pure the gold on Tutankhamun's mask was", all he could hear was the general phrase "precious gold artifacts"; when an Arab family was in the desert camp in Dubai, just as they were about to listen to "how the Bedouins train camels", the equipment got stuck due to sand entering - these unmet needs point to the future evolution direction of the tour guide voice system. As a brand that has been focusing on voice guided tours since 2007, Yingmi (YINGMI) always believes that a good tour guide voice system should not only be "able to speak", but also like a "knowledgeable companion", knowing what and what the tourists want to hear in different scenarios. From the current products to future plans, Yingmi is gradually implementing these ideas and outlining more possibilities for the tour guide voice system.
I. Multiple possibilities for the future of the tour guide voice system: Beyond "explaining", it should "understand you"
Nowadays, when overseas tourists visit tourist attractions, they are no longer satisfied with basic information such as "what is this" and "when was it built". They want an experience that is "to their taste", "usable anywhere", and "interactive". The future of the tour guide voice system will inevitably move in these directions, each step focusing on the unresolved problems at present:
1. Personalized AI guided tour: What do you want to hear? Then tell you exactly that
In the future, the system will be like a "private tour guide", able to understand what you like. For example, if you are a history enthusiast, when you stay at the Colosseum in Rome, it will talk more about "how the arches support the weight of thousands of people"; if you are with children, the content will become "games" - "Find the three birds hidden in this painting and get a prize", or even use animations to "how ancient people mixed pigments". This personalization is not just a random classification, but based on how you visit: if you stand in front of a certain exhibit for a long time and repeatedly listen to a certain explanation, the system will know you are interested and automatically add details. Just like in the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands, for art students, it will talk more about "how the brushstrokes express emotions", and for ordinary tourists, it will say "the little story behind this painting", without everyone listening to the same content.
2. Can be used in all scenarios: from museums to deserts, the equipment won't "fail"
In the future, the system will no longer be "selective" - when visiting the ancient Babylon Gate at the Pergamon Museum, the equipment will automatically switch to "touch mode", and when you touch the label, it will play the details of the relief; when you walk to the Berlin Wall site, you don't need to manually adjust, it will switch to "automatic sensing" and tell you where it is; when visiting the ice sheet in Iceland, you can stand in -20℃ weather for 12 hours; when visiting the desert in Dubai, you won't be afraid of getting stuck even if sand splashes on it. What's more convenient is that after visiting one attraction, the system can also help you plan the next stop: after visiting the Louvre in Paris, it will automatically recommend "minor art galleries nearby", and even load the explanation content of the art gallery in advance, without having to change equipment or rent again.
3. Can interact and "play": not just "listening", but also "asking" and "watching"
In the future, the system will no longer make you "passively listen". It can interact with you. For example, by scanning an Egyptian pyramid model with AR, the screen will pop up the internal structure, and you can see where the tomb chamber is; when the team is visiting, if you press the "question key", not only can everyone hear clearly, but the tour guide can also give you a seat distribution map to help you understand "how many people can sit in the Colosseum". Even cross-language chatting is possible: if a Russian tourist asks in Russian "How do you use this?", the system will automatically translate it into English for the tour guide, and the answer will be translated back into Russian, without having to gesture. This way of visiting the attractions is like having a knowledgeable friend by your side, with questions and answers, much more interesting.
4. More environmentally friendly and more durable: Technology can also be "green"
In the future, the system will pay more attention to "sustainability". The equipment shell is made of degradable materials, and when thrown away, it won't pollute the environment; the battery can be charged for 1 hour and be used for 8 hours, and can be recycled and reused; the rental cabinets in the scenic area have solar panels, and can operate without being plugged in. Even the explanation content will have environmental reminders: when visiting animals in Kenya, it will tell you "Don't get too close and don't throw garbage", allowing the trip not only to enjoy the scenery but also to help protect the scenery. This "green" is not just for show; it is truly from production to use, causing less trouble to the environment.
II. The current situation of Yingmi: Making "easy to use" a reality and laying the foundation for the future
The future vision is not just an imagination. Yingmi's current products, technologies and services have all been developed step by step, focusing on the actual needs of overseas tourists and solving their current problems:
1. Technical foundation: First ensure "reliability", then talk about "ease of use"
When overseas tourists use the navigation equipment, they are most afraid of "breaking down at critical moments" - running out of power in the desert, interference in the museum, ear pain after wearing for a long time. Yingmi spent 16 years developing technology precisely to avoid these problems:SOC embedded integrated digital noise reduction technology (patented by the state): It can filter out over 90% of the surrounding noise. In a place like the Dubai Gold Market, where there is a lot of noise from people crowding and bargaining, using the Yingmi E8 ear-mounted guide device, you can clearly hear "This necklace is hand-carved", and it is non-intrusive design, so you won't miss the reminder from the people around, weighing only 16 grams, and wearing it for an entire day won't hurt your ears.
PMU secure intelligent lithium battery technology: From the first device to the one millionth device, there have been no safety issues. In the 45°C desert of Dubai, the i7 ear-mounted guide device can last for 8 hours continuously; in the cold climate of Iceland, the M7 handheld device won't suddenly run out of power, and there is no need to worry about losing sound in the middle of the tour.
RFID-2.4G interference-free star-shaped distribution technology: Solving the problem of "confused signals". In places where exhibits are crowded together like in the Museum Island, the C7 point-touch guide device can listen to the explanation when touching any label, without interfering with the content of the adjacent exhibits; in the mountain forest of Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province, when i7 walks to the viewing platform, without pressing the button, the explanation will automatically play, which is very convenient.
These technologies are not "lab experiments", they have already been tested in major museums such as the British Museum and the National Museum of Chinese Ethnic Cultures. Each time they are used, they are reliable, and only then can they be given to overseas tourists.
2. Comprehensive products: No matter how you tour, there is a suitable device
The way overseas tourists tour attractions is different: some go to museums alone, some take their families to the desert, and some go to ancient cities with a group. Yingmi's current devices are designed to meet these different needs:Z50 self-service rental cabinet: You can get the device in 2 minutes, no waiting or comparison needed: The cabinet is placed at the entrance of the scenic spot, airport and other places, and the screen will change according to the language on your phone - if your phone is in Arabic, the interface will be in Arabic; which model to rent, the icons are clearly marked. Payment is also convenient, Visa and WeChat can be used, and the deposit will be refunded 10 minutes after the equipment is returned. Last year, a Dutch tourist used it at the Suzhou Museum and said, "Previously, renting other devices took 40 minutes, while this one can be obtained in 2 minutes. The Arabic commentary was even more detailed than I expected."
i7/M7 automatic sensing guide device: Suitable for outdoor tours and children: i7 is an ear-mounted device, resistant to sand and high temperatures, suitable for use in Dubai deserts and Hawaiian beaches; M7 is a handheld device with two headphone holes, parents and children can listen together to "How was the palm island reclaimed?", and the screen can also display photos of the exhibits, which children can understand. In front of the Berlin Wall ruins, i7 goes wherever it goes and plays the explanation; on Palm Island, M7 will remind "There is a water show at 5 p.m., don't miss it."
C7 point-touch guide device: No interference when touring museums and viewing dense exhibits: At the Pergamon Museum, when looking at the ancient Babylon gate, touching the label will listen to "What does the bull on the relief represent"; at the Dubai Museum, when looking at the Bedouin tent, it can explain "The tent door is facing east to avoid direct sunlight", without mixing in other explanations.
008B two-way interpreter: Team tours, able to ask questions, no interference: Supports 200 channels, 3 different national teams in one scenic spot, French team uses channel 1, Japanese team uses channel 5, and they won't interfere with each other. In the study tour group, students press the "question button" to ask "Why is the elevator of the Burj Khalifa so fast?" Everyone in the group can hear clearly, and the tour guide can also show animations to demonstrate "How does the elevator move so fast?" The children can understand it at a glance.
Whether you are visiting alone, with your family, or in a group, you can find the appropriate equipment without having to make do.
3. Reliable service: Even when using abroad, you don't have to panic
When overseas tourists use the equipment in a foreign country, they are most afraid of "no one to handle when it breaks" "language barrier" "the equipment not working". Yingmi's current service is designed to make everyone feel at ease:International certification + insurance: Safe to use: All the equipment has passed the EU CE and RoHS certifications, and can be used in Europe, the Middle East, and America. There is no worry about overheating when plugged in or not passing customs; each device also has insurance from Ping An of China, so even if it accidentally falls, you don't have to pay for it yourself.
9G service system: Someone is responsible for problems: Before-sales consultation, there will be English and Arabic customer service answering the phone within 90 seconds, and samples can be sent for you to try first; if the scenic spot wants to rent in bulk, Yingmi will go to the site to inspect the venue and help design "where to install the transmitter without blocking the way"; after-sales service has a 24-hour hotline (400-990-7677), and if the equipment doesn't work in Dubai, call a phone call and it will be fixed within 10 minutes; if the equipment needs to be repaired, it can be fixed within 10 days, and you can also get a spare machine without delaying the visit. An Italian tourist had no sound when using i7 in Dubai, and called the hotline to fix it quickly, saying "It's much more convenient than finding local repair services, and there's no need to gesture for a long time".
Multilingual content: Understandable and authentic: Now it comes with 8 languages as standard, all recorded by native speakers - Arabic was recorded by the former guide of the Dubai Museum, when talking about the gold market, he would say "22K gold is harder than 18K and is suitable for hand engraving"; Russian was recorded by the former guide of the Moscow History Museum, when talking about the Berlin Wall, he would compare "the border situation between East Germany and the Soviet Union during the Cold War". If Dutch or Portuguese is needed, it can be done in 3 days, and it won't be fooled by machine translation.
III. Yingmi's Vision: From "Now" to "Future", Step by Step Implementation
What Yingmi aims to do is not to "draw grand pictures", but to gradually realize future ideas based on current technologies and products. In the next 3-5 years, efforts will be made in the following directions, and each step will not deviate from reality:
1. AI Personalization: Make the equipment more "understanding" of tourists
Based on the current multilingual system, add AI analysis functions. For example, if you stand in front of a certain exhibit for 5 minutes, the system will know that you are interested and automatically add "How was this exhibit repaired?" "The behind-the-scenes story"; when taking children on a tour, the equipment can recognize "little tourists" and automatically switch to "fun mode", without the need for manual adjustment. It will also optimize multilingual translation, so that teams of less common languages can ask questions at any time, and the system will translate in real time, without waiting for translation personnel.
2. Scene Expansion: From "Scenic Spots" to "The Entire City"
Currently, the equipment is mainly used in museums and scenic spots. In the future, it will be expanded to alleys and cultural districts in the city. For example, in Dubai, after visiting the gold market, the system can lead you to "the old coffee shop nearby" and tell you "Beit-Din coffee needs to be poured three times to be good to drink"; in Berlin, it can lead you to "the street graffiti area", explain the author and anti-war significance of each piece of graffiti, making the entire city a "living museum".
3. More Personalized Overseas Services: Faster Repair, Faster Replenishment
To prevent overseas tourists from waiting, Yingmi plans to set service points in Europe and the Middle East. When the equipment breaks down, it can be repaired nearby, without having to send it back to the domestic area; during peak seasons when there is a shortage of equipment in scenic spots, it can be replenished within 72 hours, so that tourists will not be "desperate to rent but without equipment". It will also cooperate with local cultural institutions, for example, in Dubai, during Ramadan, special cultural activities will be updated, making the content more relevant and timely.
4. More Environmentally Friendly: From Production to Use, Less Hassles
In the future, more biodegradable materials will be used for the equipment shells, and carbon emissions will be reduced during production, meeting higher ISO14001 environmental certification; it will also develop "low-power mode", with the equipment consuming half the power during standby, making it last longer; old equipment will also be recycled and reused, avoiding waste of resources.IV. Conclusion: The Future of Tour Guide Voice System is to Make Culture "Understood"
In fact, the core of the future of the tour guide voice system is not "more powerful technology", but "making everyone understand culture" - history enthusiasts can hear the deep details, children will find it interesting, overseas tourists can understand it in their native language, no matter in the desert or in a museum, the equipment is reliable.Yingmi has been providing tour guides for 16 years. From the beginning of solving "can speak", to now solving "good use, reliable", and to the future of solving "understanding you", Yingmi has never forgotten this core. For overseas tourists, choosing Yingmi is not just choosing a device, but choosing a "convenient, knowledgeable" travel method.
In the future, Yingmi will continue to refine its products and services, and implement more possibilities of the tour guide voice system. After all, a good tour guide ultimately makes the culture itself the protagonist, allowing each visit to a scenic spot to hear the story behind it and leave unforgettable memories.
