Precise Indoor/Outdoor Positioning
A fused positioning stack blends GPS, Wi-Fi fingerprinting, BLE beacons, and pedestrian dead-reckoning to keep story triggers accurate — from open plazas to stone-walled galleries where satellites can't reach.
Under the Hood
Audio-Tech & Mobile Engine
One shared engine powers every Pulsar app. It handles the hard parts — positioning, audio, offline delivery, accessibility, and integration — so each museum, route, or exhibition gets a fast, reliable, future-proof experience from day one.

The capabilities behind every visit
Five engineered pillars — plus the privacy core we consider non-negotiable — that make location-aware storytelling feel effortless.
High-Fidelity Audio Streaming
Studio-grade playback with adaptive bitrate streaming, lossless offline files, and intelligent loudness normalization so narration sounds pristine on headphones, earbuds, or phone speakers alike.
Seamless Offline Mode & Caching
Visitors tap once before their visit and everything — maps, narration, AR assets, media — travels with them. Smart prefetching prioritizes what's next on the route while keeping storage lean.
Accessibility-First UI (WCAG)
Every screen is designed to WCAG 2.2 AA from day one: high-contrast warm palettes, dynamic type, VoiceOver and TalkBack support, captions and transcripts for all audio, and reduced-motion modes.
Museum CMS Integrations
Two-way connectors to leading collection management systems (TMS, PastPerfect, CollectiveAccess) plus a REST API, so curators update objects once and every app — audio, map, AR — stays in sync.
Privacy & Compliance Core
GDPR-aligned data handling, on-device processing wherever possible, no third-party ad SDKs, and configurable data residency for public institutions.
One engine, every platform
We ship native-quality iOS and Android apps from a single, rigorously tested codebase — then wrap each release in your institution's brand. Updates, new languages, and AR features roll out to all partners simultaneously.
Talk to an engineerDiscovery & Positioning
We survey your site, map signal behavior, and calibrate triggers on location — no guesswork from a remote office.

Launch & Cache Strategy
App store release, on-site QR signage, and a cache plan sized to your visitors' typical connectivity.
Continuous Improvement
Engagement analytics feed a quarterly review — pacing tweaks, new languages, and fresh story points.
