Helping visitors find their way to a moment of pause
At the park entrance, visitors scan a QR code to explore meditation sites and choose where to begin. That was the starting point for a proposed digital guide connecting walking trails with places to pause.
The planning centered on a practical question: how much guidance would visitors need to reach their chosen site confidently?
Two options, plus walking navigation
| Option | Visitor experience | What it requires |
|---|---|---|
| QR content guide | Open meditation content and use the existing brochure map and signs for directions. | Prepared content, QR markers, and an existing map. |
| Interactive map | Explore selectable meditation sites and see where they sit along public trails. | Prepared trail and site data, map alignment, and an accessible directory. |
| Walking navigation — add-on to the interactive map | Follow a highlighted route toward a selected site or the next intended meditation. | Connected route data, location handling, and on-site validation. |
Helping people discover the park
The research also explored how visitors might find the park before arriving. We investigated public mapping services, hiking platforms, and tourism and spiritual directories, identifying potential channels, submission requirements, and where eligibility needed confirmation.
Matching the scope to the need
The planning connected a simple visitor journey with the work needed to support it. Visitors could browse meditation instructions and use the existing brochure map, explore a newly surveyed interactive map, or follow walking routes added to that map.
We compared what each approach would offer visitors and what it would require—from preparing content and physical QR markers to surveying trails, testing on phones, and agreeing who would maintain the guide.
Clarity for the client
The result was a proposal that clarified how visitors could discover the park, explore its meditation sites, and find their way between them—with clear scope options and preparation requirements for the client.
