Guide-ID, the audio tour specialist, has delivered its Podcatcher Pro solution to Casa Batlló in Barcelona. The Podcatcher Pro is an easy-to-use audio guide that provides immersive, hands-free, multilingual storytelling.
Casa Batlló required a modern, hands-free audio solution that could manage high daily visitor volumes without compromising the immersive environment or creating friction for staff. In response to this need, Guide ID provided The Podcatcher Pro, which automatically triggers content, making it an effortless experience for visitors, with no scanning, tapping, or distractions.
As guests move through the house, the right story plays at precisely the right moment, letting them stay present in the space.
An effortless guest experience
From the operator’s viewpoint, Podcatcher Pro’s user-friendly backend significantly enhanced the audio management process for the museum team.
Since its implementation at Casa Batlló, visitor experience has improved significantly, with higher satisfaction, fewer questions, and more engagement. The museum now has a scalable platform to support future innovations, including AI-driven content and interactive storytelling.
This project demonstrates how immersive audio technology can significantly enhance how cultural institutions engage with audiences worldwide. This innovation makes storytelling more accessible, captivating, and emotionally impactful, all while maintaining the integrity of these iconic spaces.
“The museum’s content and technical teams were equally impressed,” says a spokesperson at Casa Batlló.
“Having tested several audio systems over the years, what stood out with Guide-ID was the simplicity and clarity of the backend. Uploading and managing content, scheduling updates, and fine-tuning the experience was suddenly faster, easier, and more intuitive, a big win for a museum managing high visitor volumes every day.”
Guide-ID adds: “The Podcatcher Pro is more than a device. It opens the door to innovation, creativity, and new ways of deepening the visitor journey.
“For a space like Casa Batlló, where every curve and colour holds meaning, having an audio system that feels invisible yet impactful has been a game changer. The Podcatcher Pro doesn’t compete with Gaudí’s vision — it amplifies it.”
