An interactive and accessible digital experience for both residents and tourists
The tourist information point of Gistel needed a contemporary, dynamic, and interactive way to immerse visitors in the city's stories and assets.
The four major stories of Gistel - its cycling heroes, landscape, wind energy and milling history, and Godelieve of Gistel - were brought to life through advanced technology:
- Touchscreens: Informative displays that provide visitors with deep insight into Gistel's rich history and heritage.
- Listening horns: An auditory experience where visitors can listen to stories and historical facts in a unique and interactive way.
- Interactive games: Specially developed for the youngest visitors, allowing them to explore the city in a playful manner.
- Unique cycling experience: An innovative installation that lets visitors explore Gistel's cycling routes interactively.


An unforgettable digital experience for young and old
The renewed tourist reception in Gistel was enthusiastically received by visitors. The digital applications ensure an engaging, accessible, and unforgettable experience. Thanks to these interactive technologies, Visit Gistel is not just an information point but a true experience center that brings the city's identity to life in an innovative way.
Visit Gistel is not just an information point – it has become a destination in itself.


In collaboration with Buro Modern, who was responsible for the concept and scenery, Ocular provided the entire hardware, software and interactive experience elements.
