A bit of us

D’Uva is a digital interpretation lab which offers multimedia contents for the description of the cultural heritage with audio guides, video guides, multimedia totems, mobile apps and web platforms. A laboratory where we have fun, we experiment, we discuss and we try to improve daily. Our aim? To set up deeper relations between museums and visitors.
Together we form a close-knit, multi-disciplinary group of developers, designers, creative talents, technology freaks, audio and video operators, architects, art historians, narrators and technicians, who love museums, churches, art towns and tourist attractions.
Our projects are based on the capacity of the digital media for involving people, and they are developed so as to transform interaction into experience and to add value and emotions to the audio- and video-guided itineraries.

Ratings and reviews

The audio doesn't continue when switching to a different app (like the camera for instance). There's also strange bits of dead time after each description has finished. Finally, the ordering is weird and randomly jumps around the room rather than going clockwise as would be expected. Fixing these issues would make it a decent audio guide.

You will not be able to download the app inside the pantheon. The file size is large and there are too many people in one area, signal is poor etc. Furthermore, installing the app requires you download another package which cannot be downloaded in the background and wifi is recommended for this. Download before you visit. Bring your own headphones.

Don't Believe the Bad Reviews – Download Smart! I almost skipped this app due to download complaints, but it's all about when and where you download! Trying to get it at the Pantheon itself is a recipe for frustration. I downloaded it at my hotel with strong Wi-Fi before my visit, and it worked perfectly. For just £2.49, the detailed information and guided tour content are phenomenal – truly bringing the Pantheon's history to life. Just download
