Bring your museum to life

Join top-rated museums in becoming more accessible, inclusive and fun. Using our combination of hardware and web software you can create an immersive experience for your guests without cluttering up your walls with signs.

The 42Kites system can do what your your museum wall labels can’t because the content is all digital.

It's way more than a boring QR Code.

The SmartLink Cards include NFC chip technology which let's people scan or tap their phone to instantly access digital information. Unlike a standard QR Code, our SmartLink Cards are reusable and they can remotely (and easily) be updated to change where the card links to.

It's kinda magical.

The Wall-mounted Holder ties it all together. The holder protects, preserves and beautifully display the SmartLink cards.

Designed with durability in mind, special materials were chosen to withstand UV rays, hot temperatures, cold temperatures and precipitation, making it so the holders can be used both indoors and outdoors. We also designed them to be thin, light and beautiful. At about twenty millimeters thick, the wall-mounted holder securely attach to surfaces using screws or wall-safe adhesive strips (both of which are included). 

Quickly create digital "Experiences" for your guests with the 42Kites website.  An Experience is essentially a page of content that is perfectly formatted for mobile devices. The best part is that there is no app to download and no special software to install. Anyone can use this system from any mobile device.

All Experiences include our special feature called the Inclusion Bar which includes language translation, visual impairment controls and text-to-speech.

You've invested time and resources into your exhibits and our Inclusion Bar will help all your guests enjoy them. Whether you have a guest that speaks a different language, a guest that is visually impaired or a guest that just wants to have someone read it to them, the 42Kites system handles all of these needs.

Fun fact: Less than 20% of humans speak English.

What happens if a museum visitor only speaks Spanish? Or Korean? Or French, etc? With the 42Kites devices all of the content of your exhibit will automatically be translated into 100+ languages.

We're here to help you every step of the way

It's fast and easy to unlock the full potential of your museum's exhibits for your visitors. Our Helping Hand service, Impossible To Fail guarantee and Always Perfect guarantee will help you do just that.

Once you purchase a plan you will have unlimited access to the following*

Impossible To Fail Guarantee

While we created this system to be easy to use for even "un-techy" people, if for any reason you need assistance installing the devices or creating digital experiences, we provide unlimited, one-on-one, tech support (free of charge) to help you get everything up and running.

Always Perfect Guarantee

This guarantee ensures that your 42Kites devices will look and function perfectly forever. This means that you never have to worry about the hardware not looking (or functioning) it’s best. Our Always Perfect Guarantee works like this:

  • Wall-Mounted Holders: If one of the Wall-Mounted Holders cracks or breaks, we will send you a brand new replacement for free.
  • SmartLinks: If a SmartLink card tears or gets damaged, we will send you a brand new replacement SmartLink card for free.
  • Shipping: We cover the shipping cost too.

Helping Hand Service

If you need help creating the content (copy, video, photoshop work, etc...) for your digital experience, the Helping Hand service gives you unlimited access (free-of-charge) to the 42Kites tech / design team which will assist you every step of the way.

*The services listed above are included with either of the Lifetime plans. They are also included with the Annuals plans, as long as long as you maintain an active plan. If you have an annual plan and decide to not renew it, you will maintain ownership of the devices, but will no longer have access to the 42Kites interface, tech support, future upgrades or any other support features.
