Triggering methods overview
High-level overview of triggering methods supported by Look2Innovate products.
Manual keypad and menu selection
Visitors or staff select content directly on the device. This is the simplest mode and does not require location hardware.
What is needed:
- Audio guide or tablet with the content loaded.
- Configured exhibit numbers, tour menus, language menus, or channels.
- Staff workflow for handing out the correct device, language, or tour when needed.

Infrared location triggering
Infrared triggering starts content when a device receives the signal from a defined area. It is used when the trigger zone must be precise.
What is needed:
- IR emitter or compatible target installed at the exhibit or zone.
- Content mapped to the IR code in the project configuration.
- Line-of-sight planning and emitter positioning for the intended visitor path.

RF location triggering
RF triggering starts content from radio signals. It is useful when line of sight is difficult or when a zone must cover a broader area.
What is needed:
- RF emitter or compatible triggering box.
- Content mapped to the RF code in the project configuration.
- Range testing on site to avoid overlap between nearby zones.

Kiosk and end-of-visit triggers
Kiosks can start an end-of-visit flow when a visitor places an audio guide in the holder. This can connect statistics, surveys, quizzes, and email capture.
What is needed:
- Interactive kiosk with compatible holder or detection setup.
- Visitor report, quiz, survey, or email flow configured in software.
- Statistics source linked to the visitor device or visit session.
Typical products:
