Give guests a character they want to talk to.
Create AI-powered Digital Humans for theme parks, immersive shows, touring exhibitions, visitor attractions and tourist destinations. Guests talk to a character in real time, ask their own questions, and come back for a different conversation next time.
Talking Paintings does not replace your attraction. It adds a conversational layer to the experience you already have.
Repeat visits, shareable moments, smooth visitor flow and flexible touring formats.
Create moments guests share
A conversation with a character is a memorable, camera-ready moment guests film, post and talk about.
Give guests a reason to return
Add new topics, seasonal content and themes to the same installation, so repeat visitors find something new.
Keep visitor flow simple
No headset fitting, no reset between guests and no booking. Designed for busy spaces and short interactions.
Take it on tour
The same character and hardware travel between cities. Vincent van Gogh toured Berlin, Munich and Cologne; Kráka appeared in London and Hamburg.

Guests want reasons to return, and your team needs experiences that are simple to run in busy spaces. With Talking Paintings, guests speak with a character directly: no headset, no fixed sequence, just their own questions and a real answer.
What your guests experience
- 01A clear invitation shows them how to start.
- 02The character welcomes them.
- 03They speak (push-to-talk) or type a question.
- 04The character responds in real time.
- 05They ask a follow-up, or continue their visit.
You stay in control
You decide what your character knows and how it communicates: approved content, topics, tone, personality, languages, sensitive subjects, and how it handles questions outside its knowledge. Seasonal updates are made in the Character Editor.
Use it for
Queue areas in theme parks
Turn waiting time into part of the ride. While the line moves, guests can talk to a character from the attraction’s story, ask about what lies ahead, and arrive at the ride already in the world it tells.
Start small. Fit your space.
Choose a framed display, kiosk, standalone unit, projection or custom installation to fit your space and visitor flow.
Begin with one character, one knowledge base and one location, then expand once you have seen how guests use it. The installation starts automatically when switched on, so daily operation stays simple for your staff.
Every department gets what it needs.

A setup designed for busy public spaces and optional unattended use. It starts automatically when switched on.

Can it handle high visitor numbers, and does it need staff beside it?
Yes. Interactions are short and need no reset between guests, and the installation can run unattended. Push-to-talk keeps conversations clear in loud spaces.
Can the character change for seasons, events or touring cities?
Yes. With Talking Paintings AI your team adds new topics and seasonal content in the Character Editor, without a new production.
Can it run without internet access?
Yes. An on-premise setup runs fully offline, which also suits touring shows moving between venues.
How many languages are supported, and can guests ask their own questions?
Talking Paintings AI supports more than 32 languages, and guests ask their own questions in their own words.
Can we use our own character or mascot, or rent one first?
Both. We can build a character around your mascot or story, or you can rent a ready-made character to test with guests first.
