The concept of Stories

The concept of Archistoire is based on the use of narrative units that we call stories. These can take different forms, to offer different types of experiences.

Augmented walks

A story based on hybrid reality where the user is guided on the location to unlock the secrets of the places visited. Best experienced on-site but can also be done remotely.

Point and click

Timeline, territory atlas, block diagram, infographics, etc. In this type of playful navigation experience, content is visually organized in layers to allow for a deeper or multifaceted understanding of a topic.

Augmented reality

A "traditional" augmented reality experience by tracking items in the real environment using your smartphone's camera and overlaying digital information. These can only be experienced on-site.

Companion

Companion stories support another narrative object, which they allow you to expand: booklet, exhibition, panels, etc. They most often use a QR code reading system.

From our beloved users

A breathtaking augmented reality guide
"Sometimes new technologies are hesitant, not well developed, Archistoire offers a playful, well-made and fluid solution."

An application that has literally changed the way I see my city
“I've lived in Toulon for 26 years, I know a lot about the city, but I couldn't imagine all the secrets it could still hide. [...] I am totally won over by this experience.”

Archistoire makes us raise our eyes on heritage and reveals amazing things.
"The application allows us to answer questions and above all to satisfy the curiosity of walkers. [...] It works without an internet connection and that's really great."

To rediscover your city
"An intuitive and immersive application that allows you to take a fresh new look at your city. Very nice cultural walks to do with your family. I recommend it!"

Very nice initiative
"Perfect to know more on the history of your village, to contemplate it with a new eye through the walks but also to share with your friends your new culture and knowledge. Extending it to neighboring villages would be even better so that this part of our region now longer holds any secrets."

Bravo
"A simple and pleasant application that allows you to visit Toulon both on the spot and from home to prepare your visit and then deepen it once back home. Well done. Hoping that other cities will be accessible through this application".
