Tourism Radio Showcases Audio Guides On The Renault R-Link At Le Web 2012
Tourism Radio will showcase its audio guide, which is one of the first application available on the Renault R-Link integrated multimedia in-car system, at Le Web 2012.
Online, November 20, 2012 (Newswire.com) - South African travel technology company Tourism Radio (http://www.tourismradio.info) joins forces with French automaker Renault (http://www.renault.com/en/pages/home.aspx) at Le Web 2012 (http://www.leweb.co) - the foremost blogging and web expo in the world.
Renault first announced its fully-connected and integrated R-Link multimedia system at last year's Le Web, where it was revealed that Tourism Radio would be one of the first applications available for download on the system.
Tourism Radio's R-link application plays general audio information about the area a Renault vehicle is driving through, as well as information about specific points of interest nearby. It will serve as a personal tour guide, built right into the dashboard of future Renault models. The uniqueness of Tourism Radio's technology is in its ability to seamlessly arrange thousands of audio clips and organise them into a coherent dialogue, based on location, creating a tailor-made user experience for each vehicle.
Tourism Radio CEO Mark Allewell says, "Renault has always been at the forefront of automotive technology, and I believe that the R-Link is quite simply the next evolutionary step of the motor vehicle. Tourism Radio is the perfect addition to the R-Link, and it also fits in with the theme of Le Web 2012, the Internet of Things." Allewell will attend Le Web from the 4th to the 6th of December, and has been invited to showcase Tourism Radio on the Renault stand.
Tourism Radio's R-Link application will initially feature an audio guide to Paris (in English, French and German), with plans to roll out to other major European centres in the near future. For more information about Tourism Radio visit http://www.tourismradio.info.
