Question 1

What technology is behind Eternal Echo?

Accepted Answer

Eternal Echo utilizes state-of-the-art AI avatar technology combined with QR code integration. Visitors scan a QR code at the historical site and instantly experience an encounter with the historical figure on their smartphone. The avatars tell their own stories and speak about their lives – authentically and emotionally.

Question 2

How much does the implementation cost?

Accepted Answer

Test phase (free): We offer a 3-month pilot phase with 6 talking avatars at all 6 locations completely free of charge. The avatars can speak and tell stories about their lives. This allows us to test the concept, gather visitor feedback, and measure its effectiveness – without any financial risk. After a successful test phase: Based on the test results, the number of avatars for the full-scale rollout will be determined. The costs depend on the final number of avatars and locations. Estimated cost: CHF 60,000–90,000 for 6 avatars (avatar development, QR display installation, content creation, technical infrastructure). Ongoing costs for maintenance and updates: approximately CHF 15,000–25,000 per year.

Question 3

How long will the implementation take?

Accepted Answer

From concept to launch, we anticipate a timeframe of 6–9 months. Phase 1 (Concept & Partnerships): 2 months. Phase 2 (Avatar Development & Content): 3–4 months. Phase 3 (Installation & Testing): 1–2 months. Phase 4 (Launch & Marketing): 1 month. A soft launch with 3–4 locations is possible after 4–5 months.

Question 4

Which partners are needed?

Accepted Answer

Successful implementation requires collaboration with: Zurich Tourism (marketing & visitor management), City of Zurich (permits & locations), Switzerland Tourism (national & international promotion), hotels & restaurants (cross-promotion), museums & cultural institutions (historical expertise), tech partners (AI development & infrastructure).

Question 5

How is data protection guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

Eternal Echo complies with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). No personal data is stored – visitors simply scan the QR code and experience the encounter anonymously. Users can optionally provide their email address to receive further information (opt-in). All data is hosted on Swiss servers and managed according to the highest security standards.

Question 6

Can this concept be transferred to other cities?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Eternal Echo is designed as a scalable model. After a successful launch in Zurich, the concept can be expanded to other Swiss cities (Bern, Basel, Geneva, Lucerne) and international destinations. Each city will have its own historical figures and locations – the technology platform will remain the same.
