Sennheiser's interpretive Guideport System has had its first North American use at Mexico's El Rey Mayan Educational Theme Park. Centered on one of the Yucatan Peninsula's most interesting archeological sites, the site features actors portraying scenes from daily Mayan life, providing glimpses of religion, science, craft, trade, and palace life. El Rey also features a spectacular light and sound show every evening set against the backdrop of the Mayan ruins.

The Sennheiser Guideport System brings state-of-the-art interpretive technology to El Rey, providing personalized information to each visitor. Operating from a centrally-located PC, the Guideport System tracks each visitor through remote sensors and plays location-specific recordings through a wireless headphone system. Users can select the language and level of expertise to match their own and are free to experience the exhibits in any sequence they please.

In addition, audio information is synchronized with other media presentations when visitors are within the zone that covers a media presentation. Sennheiser Mexico and partner Gilsama configured the Guideport System and helped create a ‘tour’ designed specifically for children. Guideport's clear stereo sound complements the sound effects and exciting texts which make up the El Rey experience.
