areas of innovation
digital storytelling
The medium may have evolved but the message is a part of the legacy. Digital Storytelling preserves and shares a community’s culture and stories through beautiful imagery, videos, audio recordings, and the written word. Share the spirit and identity of your people through a Community-Driven Site, an Interactive Tour, or Digital Storytelling. Visit Chesterfield Inlet Stories to see an example of CES’s digital storytelling.
authentic indigenous moments™ model (AIM™)
AIM™ allows entrepreneurs to post their tourism activity to a website that connects them directly with potential guests, minimizing the need for their own website and assisting them with marketing and sales.
techtours™
TechTours™ is a dynamic storytelling platform that uses customized interactive maps and GPS-triggered points of interest activated on a guest’s smart device. Visitors can explore a destination at their own pace and in their own language.
ar/vr
CES utilizes Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality to bring your stories to life through immersive, interactive visitor engagement.
