Digital Museum Docent
A knowledgeable guide, ready whenever visitors are.
Today’s museum guests expect immediacy, personalization, and clarity. The StoryFile Digital Museum Docent delivers all three through a realistic human avatar who responds dynamically to each visitor, making the experience feel less like a kiosk and more like a guide standing right beside them.
The digital docents work in all kinds of museums, art, history, science and technology, natural history, and of course, children's museums. Visitors can have real experts, astronauts, historians, scientists serve as personal guides, answering questions from visitors all day every day.

An astronaut, historian, artist, or curator can answer questions on a visitor’s mobile device, turning the museum visit into a guided conversation.
