Ocarina music player becomes children's audio guide for Italian cities

Ocarina, a child-safe MP3 player, has launched Ocarina in Tour, an urban audio guide for children. Starting from Florence, the project offers audio walks exploring history and art. The collection covering Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples, and Milan is available for €5.90, with Paris and London planned for autumn. The player features four colors, voice recording (10 recordings of 15 minutes each), and Special Editions with themed playlists. It has been improved with better audio quality, a robust rubber casing, intuitive parental menu, and reduced size. Ocarina has been adopted by the Guggenheim Venice and Musée du Quai Branly Paris for educational activities, exhibited at Triennale Design Museum Milan in 2018, and used at Dynamo Camp. It is also used in hospitals: Robert Debré Paris, Les Fées prema en PACA, and Hôpital des enfants Toulouse. Since 2021, the Ocarina (re)Player project has collaborated with schools and cultural associations, providing refurbished players.
