DEVELOPMENT OF VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS
Development of virtual assistants that combine digital support with human support and static information to offer the best service to citizens, providing the best user experience and a 24/7 service. Able to attend to more than 15,000 consultations daily with a 97% effectiveness in the responses, and all in real time and with a completely human appearance.The main advantages are as follows:1. Assistance design is done visually by moving objects in a fundamentally graphical application that allows reasoning according to the ultimate meaning of the user's needs. 2. Capacity for developed dialogue. If it receives complete information about the topic of interest, it will provide the information designed, and if it receives partial information, it will proactively request it using an appropriate dialogue.3. If the assistant is waiting for a particular dialogue, it is able to remind the user if they go off at a tangent or launch another query by way of a parenthesis.4. Situations in which the citizen is disappointed by the quality of assistance are minimised, as the assistant almost never responds in a totally unrelated way. If there is no planned response, the assistant can respond by explaining aspects related to the query about which it does have information. In this regard, if the citizen doesn't manage to find the information they want, the assistant will be asked to search for it, and the organisation can rearrange the content of its website to provide this type of information.5. Quality reports on the performance of the assistant, detailed by dialogue status and by session. These include an indicator table by type of query made to the assistant. Without this type of solution only information related to the duration of the visit, or the pages visited can be obtained; never about whether the website content or information was found by the user.

NODOS SEEKETING WEOBSERVE, MASS FLOW ANALYSIS
Seeketing WeObserve is based on small plug and play device (called Seeketing nodes) that connect to any power source/plug and allow the analysis of people area by area, thanks to the mass and anonymous (legal) detection of mobile phones. Seeketing nodes greatly surpass the detection capability of other already obsolete systems such as:• Ibeacon Bluetooth combined with apps, due to the requirements for the public's smartphones, the number of people who can detect or interact by proximity will always be less than 0.01% of the population. • Wi-Fi tracking systems are based on listening to the MAC signal addresses to identify phones, but for the past four years all phones have transmitted multiple MAC addresses when they are not connected to the Wi-Fi access point (almost no one is looking for free internet access outside of home or work). Therefore, they do not have information on which phones are in the area, how long they are there for, if it is the same phone that passed in front of the store yesterday, and they cannot ultimately identify a phone. The percentage of people that they can detect is less than 1% of the population.There is no other technology on the market capable of massively and anonymously detecting 80% of the population in precise areas both indoors and outdoors.Another great technical breakthrough is to use technologies to compile and have knowledge of physical and digital behaviour applied to tourist destinations, as up until now it was considered impossible to know that the person who is now walking past a beach was searching on the municipality's tourist information website yesterday, or to know if the person who yesterday received a promotional email is today walking through one of the municipality's shopping areas.The system responds to the requirements for smart destinations in different sections; people counting, flow analysis, knowledge of tourists.This solution can work integrated with the WeOptimize and Capacity solution.

INTERACTIVE GUIDED TOURISM APP
The Interactive Guided Tourism App is a technological solution that can be applied to any cultural or tourist spot. It is an app based on VR, AR, 4K audiovisual content and 3D reconstructionsThe app is both immersive and interactive. It features virtual reality spaces, and allows visitors to move around in these environments. Certain places will be virtually reconstructed exactly as they were in the past and integrated into a virtual environment developed on UNITY. Visitors can thus explore the virtual world as they walk through the real one.The augmented reality also provides them with further information, and allows them to interact with objects using both physical and geopositioned signs.Moreover, videos and 3D reconstructions give the visitor a guided tour full of experiences.There is also a real-time guidance system based on geolocation in open spaces, and beacons in closed spaces.All these functions and content can be stored on the app, although the exact features will depend on the characteristics of the space itself. Through this cutting-edge app, tourists can visit a museum or tourist space in an innovative, intuitive way. Each visitor has a unique, interactive guide in the palm of their hand.

CONVERSION OF TEXTS TO EASY READ FORMAT
Communication, and specifically the creation of content that is understandable to a diverse range of people, is a need that benefits everyone. Not only does it improve accessibility for people with intellectual disabilities, it also improves it for older people affected by age-related cognitive decline, the immigrant population with lower language proficiency, people with low educational attainment who cannot read or write and, by extension, the whole population when faced with specialised texts of technical complexity.Puntodis adapt texts to easy-read formats. This is essential for a wide range of types of media: tourism training campaigns, travel guides, information for travellers, etc.
-
ACCESSIBLE PDF ADAPTATION
Documents in PDF format need to be viewed using external programmes other than web browsers. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that these types of documents, which have their own interface, remain usable. For example, it has to be possible to handle them independently on any type of device, and they must be compatible with support products such as screen readers.The accessibility aspects discussed in PDF documents are generally geared towards the visually impaired. However, some people also have hearing, motor or cognitive difficulties, which will be reduced if we apply accessibility and design criteria to everything that is created or adapted.

DYNAMIC HOTEL & DESTINATION EMAIL MARKETING MANAGER
A destination’s accommodation offering tends to lack attractive content (images, event information and resources), but it does have data about visitors and their status with respect to their trip. Destination managers, meanwhile, have and generate attractive content, but don't know much about their visitors (those arriving, those currently in the destination, those who have left).The dynamic hotel & destination email marketing manager is a system that connects destination marketing organisations with local accommodation, meaning that:• The destination edits content to share information about the accommodation in that location• Accommodation establishments share their communications securely and confidentially. It provides a PMS connection to update the database automatically, in addition to manual uploading.The following metrics are provided for accommodation and destinations: the number of emails sent, the number opened, and the number of clicks within the message, from the establishment itself and from the destination in general.How does it work?The destination provides the content (final artwork and HTML) for a marketing email, with a fixed structure (graphics and content) for main and secondary messages, which is left in the template repository for the destination’s accommodation providers.The accommodation establishment is notified that the template is available, and activates the segmented campaign within its database, where the HTML template includes, via token, the message that the establishment has decided on for this campaign.
