Smart Zoo Technology Enhances Visitor Experience

Zoo Media’s Smart Zoo platform incorporates IoT sensors, modular digital displays, and real-time content delivery to support interactive visitor experiences. The system enables institutions to create data-informed exhibits while offering non-intrusive brand touchpoints.

Initial deployments have shown increases in dwell time, repeat visitation, and digital participation—factors that contribute to institutional revenue growth and improved campaign performance.
