GLOW Eindhoven Light Festival
GLOW Eindhoven is an internationally recognized annual light art festival that transforms the city into a dazzling gallery of light installations. For its 10th anniversary, the festival featured works by 50 renowned artists from around the world. To enhance visitor experience, we developed a multilingual mobile app for iOS and Android that enabled real-time navigation through the exhibition route, proximity-triggered iBeacon notifications, and access to digital content such as Quest Magazine and audio tours. The app also allowed users to purchase in-app audio guides and share events on social media, making the festival more interactive and immersive.

Problem Statement
With over 50 light installations spread across Eindhoven and thousands of visitors expected, festival organizers needed an engaging, easy-to-use mobile solution that could guide attendees through the event, provide relevant information in real-time, and support multiple languages. Traditional printed maps and signage were insufficient for creating a dynamic and accessible user experience.
Our Solution
We designed and developed a feature-rich mobile application using Xamarin for cross-platform compatibility. The app included real-time mapping of exhibition points, iBeacon-triggered alerts to engage visitors at the right moment, in-app audio tour purchases, and multilingual support. This digital solution helped streamline visitor flow, enhanced the accessibility of artistic content, and elevated the overall festival experience.
