Discover Halifax sought to improve visitor reception at the port with an interactive digital kiosk. Rollin built a touchscreen interface offering personalized activity recommendations, an explorable map, real-time weather information, and an AI-powered itinerary planner. The system allows visitors to export suggestions via email or QR code to guide their city exploration.

Understanding the challenge
The project required integrating multiple data sources: weather APIs, event feeds, editorial content, and contextual recommendations into a touchscreen interface. Constraints included creating a custom conversational agent, managing advertising placements, and meeting accessibility standards.
Finding the right solution
Our team built the application using Vue.js, incorporating a custom conversational agent we created to generate personalized itineraries. The chatbot connects with weather APIs to adapt recommendations based on current conditions or user-selected dates. The platform combines touchscreen interface, automated indexing system to enrich the knowledge base, and QR code generation. We designed the project for wheelchair accessibility with specific accommodation measures.
Delivering outstanding results
This project showcases Rollin's expertise in developing personalized interactive tourism experiences. Creating a fully custom conversational agent demonstrates our innovation capabilities beyond standard approaches. This achievement strengthens Halifax's technology image and sets a new standard for visitor reception in the regional industry. The city now has a modern tool to improve the port visitor experience.
