GeoGenius is a company based in Seattle, Washington that produces travel-related audio and video content for GPS-enabled devices. It is a subsidiary of MTR Western.[1]
GeoGenius was founded by CEO Darren Berg in 2007. The company's first client was parent company MTR Western, which contracted them to develop GPS-triggered audio and video content for use by their motorcoach tour customers.[2]
The GeoGenius proof of concept, a multiple channel, multiple interest, GPS-triggered 7-day tour from San Francisco to Seattle, has been operational since May, 2007.[1] Another video tour was scheduled to be installed MTR Western's "hop on, hop off" city sightseeing tour of Vancouver, B.C. in April 2008.[3] Historical and travel-related content is featured on other tours of Vancouver operated by MTR Western subsidiary Sightline Tours.[4]
The company is developing content for personal download to multiple platforms, allowing tourists to construct their own tours.[5]
GeoGenius development is overseen by Lorayne Deceour (Larayne Decoeur).[6]
