Any of the information, either given as text, visual or audio-file, will be easily accessible from various spots at the Fortress. The system will also enable every visitor to customize the given audio-visual information.

The information terminal data transfer and digital reading device should be accomplished by the usage of the internet portal via wireless LAN.
