    Two technological developments that have improved the visitor attraction experience in historic houses are: 1. Audio guides - Audio guides allow visitors to listen to information about different rooms and exhibits as they tour the house on their own schedule. This makes the experience more engaging and self-guided. 2. Interactive displays - Some historic houses now include interactive touchscreen displays, videos, and augmented/virtual reality elements. These bring the history to life and help tell the story of the house and periods in a more immersive way.
