Autio has announced its Australian launch, in partnership with the Victoria Tourism Industry Council, initially focusing on Victoria in the region between Bendigo, Echuca, and Castlemaine.
Autio is a mobile audio entertainment app for travel that uses geolocation technology to automatically play stories of landmarks, cities & towns nearby. Headquartered in California with a mission to deliver a compelling story at the right time, wherever you may be; the app features over 10,000 stories in the United States & now hundreds in Australia. The app won the Webby for Best Travel App & has been featured as App of the Day by Apple.
Autio was co-founded in the US by actor Kevin Costner.
“I joined Autio with the ambition to capture stories across America, and am excited to bring the Autio App to Australia. From the first peoples and colonists, to the great inventors and pioneers of today – new stories are added every week”.
Kevin Costner
Daryl Missen, Production Director of Autio Australia added:
“We have a team of writers, narrators, and audio professionals excited to be producing regional stories from Australia’s past. Now Australian travellers have an app to listen and learn in audio form as they drive.”
The Autio app is now available for download, free from the Apple App Store.
Every place has a story … now, every story has a place.
