Enhancing Traditional Programme Information

Physical theatre programmes provide static information constrained by printing costs and space. AR program overlays deliver unlimited interactive content including cast biographies, production notes, historical context, and multimedia materials through smartphone displays, enhancing patron understanding and appreciation without printing costs or environmental impact.

AR Programme Information Capabilities

Interactive AR delivers comprehensive show context. Key features include:

  • Extended cast and creative biographies - Detailed backgrounds beyond printed programme space
  • Multimedia production content - Videos, audio interviews, and behind-scenes materials
  • Historical and contextual information - Understanding play backgrounds and contemporary relevance
  • Interactive production timelines - Exploring development from concept to performance

Patron Engagement and Educational Value

Theatres implementing AR programmes report enhanced patron experiences:

  • Deeper show understanding as extensive context enriches performances
  • Higher patron satisfaction from comprehensive information access
  • Improved educational program value supporting school and student visits
  • Reduced printing costs offsetting AR development investment

Supporting Accessibility and Inclusion

AR programmes serve diverse patron needs effectively. Information displays in multiple languages without separate printed versions, audio descriptions support visually impaired patrons, and adjustable text sizes accommodate reading preferences. This flexibility ensures all patrons access comprehensive show information regardless of language or accessibility requirements.

Implementation for Theatres

AR programme systems integrate with existing production documentation. Development typically takes 4-6 weeks per production and includes creating interactive content, developing AR interfaces, implementing smartphone access systems, and establishing content management workflows. Dagger Interactive specializes in AR programmes for theatres, creating interactive information systems that enhance patron understanding, improve satisfaction, and reduce printing costs while supporting accessibility and educational objectives through rich multimedia content.
