TAIWAN (CHINA) -- /DESIGN/newswire -- Jul 23, 2022
Rixing Type Foundry in Taipei, Taiwan, has launched a cutting-edge self-guided service to enhance the visitor experience and preserve the disappearing type-making culture.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rixing Go Digital
Rixing Type Foundry, the world's last traditional Chinese letterpress maker, has unveiled a pioneering self-guided service to revolutionize the visitor experience and alleviate financial burdens. The innovative framework includes a web-based mobile guide and numbered signages, allowing visitors to explore the foundry at their own pace while freeing up staff to provide better customer service.
This visitor-centered approach aims to convey the cultural values of traditional letterpressing and offers a seamless, interactive experience. By introducing a self-guided service, Rixing seeks to preserve its heritage while adapting to modern visitor expectations.
The self-guide system is accessible via a mobile web interface, eliminating the need for app installation. Visitors can scan a QR code to activate the service and enjoy a personalized tour, learning about artifacts, letterpress techniques, and more. The project, initiated in September 2022, reflects Rixing's commitment to innovation and cultural preservation.
