UTAI (Ústav technológií a inovácií) is a full-service partner for museums, galleries, castles, municipalities, and other cultural institutions across Slovakia, designing and delivering interactive exhibitions that bring technology and storytelling together. From concept to installation, UTAI creates museum experiences that resonate emotionally with visitors, blending physical, spatial, and digital elements rather than relying on screens alone.
Alongside custom exhibition design, UTAI has developed a set of flagship products that can be adapted and deployed across different sites, including:
UTAI AI Heritage Guide: a universal AI historical guide platform for museums, galleries, castles, and visitor centres. It brings historical figures to life as digital personas that communicate with visitors in multiple languages, deployable via touchscreens, holographic displays, voice interaction, and a mobile app, with remote content management. Easily adaptable to different locations without custom development.
UTAI Smart Heritage Hub: an autonomous, renewable-energy-powered information hub for cultural and tourist sites. It operates unattended, delivering AI-driven, multimedia, and interactive content to visitors, suited to historical monuments, natural sites, towns, and archaeological locations.
UTAI Heritage Passport: a digital platform and mobile app connecting cultural monuments, museums, and tourist attractions. Visitors collect digital badges, discover new sites, receive AI-personalized recommendations, and unlock extended digital content, supporting cultural tourism, gamification, and long-term regional engagement.
Beyond these, UTAI works on a project-by-project basis to design bespoke interactive solutions, from tactile and haptic installations to AR/VR experiences, kiosk systems, and spatial storytelling concepts, tailored to each client’s site, story, and budget.
