....performance in real time and to analyse trends in vast collections of log data. Internet statistics were also gathered and sonified by Hansen and Rubin [8] who studied web and chat sites, and converted the activity there into a number of drones, string sounds and tones. Bederson and Druin [9] constructed an automated tour guide which supported ad hoc paths and pauses in a museum tour, with personal, auditory addresses at selected exhibits. Like many other techniques, the tour guide depended on wearable equipment for the reproduction of sound, whereas WISP relies on loudspeakers ....

....the effects of electronic guidebooks on social interaction. Electronic guidebooks. The cultural heritage community has formally studied electronic guidebooks (e.g. audio guides) for over 25 years [16] Related work in HCI has focused on technological innovation (e.g. in locationaware computing [1,3]) and only recently have significant user studies been reported. For example, the Hyperaudio project reported the results of its user requirements studies [13] and the GUIDE project [6] conducted an evaluation that included observation, interviews and activity logging. These studies focus on ....

....is not new. Many museums today offer cassette tapes that direct a user through an exhibit while providing additional information about the various pieces of art. This approach is linear and somewhat inflexible: the user follows the guide on the tape and cannot stray to a different path. Bederson [1] built a prototype augmented reality system for museums that went beyond the traditional cassette based systems by allowing for non linear browsing. Using Bederson s system, the curators of a museum could place electronic transmitters above pieces of art, and then store audio information about ....

....collection of sounds that can be placed in a space. An important design consideration for the sound imprint was utilizing the precision afforded us by technology that can provide the location of the user within tens of centimeters of his or her actual location. Audio AR systems such as [1, 3] could determine if the user was directly in front of an object or in a given room. The higher resolution available in Hear There allows one to experiment with nuances of sound that were not previously possible. Figure 1. On the left is a GUI representation of the augmented environment. E15 is ....

....the context of AR and wearable systems, the idea of deploying machine readable IDs in the environment is gaining popularity. Our current system uses infrared and visual markers that were originally developed for our previous system NaviCam[11] Similar techniques are also used in other AR systems[2, 9, 15]. Other possibilities include wireless tags[1] near field radio[7] and the global positioning system (GPS) Some might argue that the ultimate system should not depend on such artificial IDs, probably by employing more sophisticated technologies such as natural scene understanding. We disagree. ....

The GUIDE system [DCM 99] developed at University of Lancaster is a context sensitive tourist guide for visitors to the city of Lancaster, England. Smaller scale versions of such guide systems have also been developed for museum visitors [Bed95, OS98] and exhibition tourists [OS00] The location and orientation contexts are vital and they are mainly used for active context awareness (different content is delivered when the user moves to a new place) A similar category of applications is augmented reality [Fit93] in which the user s view of ....

RELATED WORK Guided by Voices explores a different design space than previous audio augmented realities. Bederson [2] describes a related nonlinear sound playback system triggered by location using infrared beacons. The sounds presented provide detail on real life artifacts the user observes. Our system extends this concept to utilize state information on a wearable device to play different sounds for different ....
