Development of Digital Wallet App (2015-2019)

In 2015, Boston Symphony approached DWG to develop a Tablet app to be used as a wallet, but could also do much more. The app allowed for audio-visual playback and streaming, as well as, important on-location information for the patrons. The app acted as an e-commerce portal with the ability to manage individual preferences within the Family Group. DWG also developed applications that engage the end users while on location in AR.

  • UI/UX
  • App Design and Development
  • Tessitura API Integration
  • Web Application Development

Solution

DWG utilized ARTdynamix® as the backbone for a swift based Tablet App from which BSO, Tanglewood, and Boston Pops could manage and display their
shows, AV programming, provide locale sensitive information, and enhance the visitors' experiences by providing bathroom, parking, restaurant, and menu information. This required "becon-like" technology integration into the app, for which purpose, DWG created a complete Beacon management interface in ARTdynamix® utilizing Gimbal® Beacons and Vuforia® AR Software. In the case of the Tanglewood Parking and car location, DWG set up the system to use both Geo-fencing and Beacon technology for long and short distance accuracy. As a fun addition, DWG created a photobooth and a meme-generator option where the end-user could post their memes to their social media or submit it to BSO for sharing.
