Vicinia Launches 3-Month Pilot Programs to Boost Visitor Engagement for Museums, Retail, and City Districts

Vicinia, the leading provider of digital twin and spatial engagement technology, is now accepting applications for its new 3-month pilot programs tailored to museums, retail destinations, and city districts. These pilots offer a no-obligation opportunity to implement Vicinia’s cutting-edge solutions — and gain actionable data insights to shape smarter, more connected environments.

Pilots Designed for Immediate Impact

Vicinia’s pilot programs are designed with efficiency in mind, ensuring a smooth and rapid setup that integrates seamlessly into your existing space. Once deployed, the impact is visible right away — visitors begin navigating more intuitively, engaging with interactive content, and discovering more of what your location has to offer. At the same time, your team gains instant visibility into valuable data, from visitor traffic flow to content engagement trends, giving you actionable insights from day one.

But these pilots don’t just deliver tools — they reveal entirely new perspectives on how your space can connect with people.

🎨 Museum Pilot – “From Missed Moments to Meaningful Connections”

You’re the Director of a beloved but under-discovered museum.

You’ve invested in beautiful exhibits and new programming — but visitors are missing them. Engagement is low, feedback is sparse, and post-visit communication is nearly impossible.

With Vicinia’s pilot, your museum transforms in short few weeks. Visitors access self-guided and virtual thematic tours, mobile discovery tools, and event notifications right on their phones or through digital kiosks. Staff can easily update tour routes, tours and promotions from a centralized dashboard.

Even more powerful: guests can point their phone at an artwork and receive rich, interactive content — videos, audio clips, and stories — giving them deeper insight into each piece. No more static wall text. Every exhibition becomes an experience, available in multiple languages and accessible formats.

The best part? You gain full visibility into visitor behavior:

• Which exhibits get the most attention
• What content is most interacted with
• Visitor flow and heatmaps
• What keeps guests engaged — and what doesn’t

With this data, your planning becomes proactive, your exhibits more tailored, and your marketing more strategic. When the pilot proves successful, Vicinia scales to support donor tiers, multilingual tours, and immersive AR/VR-powered storytelling experiences.

🛍️ Retail Spaces Pilot – “From Foot Traffic to Real-Time Feedback”

You’re the Marketing Director of a busy shopping center.

Foot traffic is decent, but your tenants want more exposure. Guests often miss events or can’t find specific stores. And you lack the tools to truly understand how shoppers interact with your space.

With Vicinia’s 3-month, no-obligation pilot, your mall transforms in just several weeks. Interactive kiosks and mobile-friendly maps help visitors explore your space, discover store promotions, and easily find and return to their parking spot. Whether they parked in Garage A or Lot 3, Vicinia remembers — so your guests don’t have to.

Cross-shopping becomes effortless. A shopper browsing home decor might see a nearby pop-up fashion event or a lunch special two blocks over. Vicinia connects the experience, making your entire space more discoverable and navigable.

The best part? You unlock enterprise-level insights, including:

• Which stores are most visited
• Where foot traffic flows — and where it drops off
• Which promotions drive conversions
• How long shoppers stay in different areas

You’re no longer guessing — you’re guiding. Once the pilot succeeds, Vicinia helps you seamlessly scale across multiple properties, delivering experiences through kiosks, mobile apps, and web platforms, available in multiple languages to serve diverse audiences. Most importantly, it creates new revenue streams by enabling location-based ads, promotions, and branded campaigns that add deeper value for both shoppers and tenants.

🌆 City & District Pilot – “Turning Public Spaces Into Connected Communities”

You’re the Operations Manager of a growing downtown district.

You’ve planned walking routes, launched events, and built a great calendar — but tourists miss local gems, parking is a hassle, and you lack the data to back up your work.

Vicinia’s city pilot deploys mobile-friendly guides and digital kiosks to help residents and visitors find parking, explore events, discover small businesses, and more — all within a few short weeks.

The best part? You gain deep operational insights, such as:

• Pedestrian traffic flow across public spaces, helping you understand how visitors move through the area
• Most popular routes and events, so you know what drives the highest engagement
• Business visitation trends, revealing which local shops or attractions get the most foot traffic
• Live feedback from visitors, creating a transparent communication channel between the city and residents
• Measurable impact of marketing and outreach campaigns, helping you justify budgets and optimize community initiatives
• Efficient event management, with tools to promote, guide, and track attendance for public events and community activities
• Direct communication with residents and visitors, improving transparency, trust, and real-time updates across the district

These metrics help shape stronger economic development plans, justify budgets, and support strategic partnerships. From grant applications to tourism campaigns, Vicinia becomes your behind-the-scenes engine — and can scale across neighborhoods, seasons, and services.
