SoundSpot: a next-generation audio-guide system for museums

Published: 13 June 2007 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a system called SoundSpot, which is A Next-generation Audio-guide System for museums. Although the original goal of the system is to solve problems in audio-based annotations, the system can attract a lot of interest as an magical entertainment system. So though the system we aim that children can enhance their motivation to know information which are related to exhibitions. We evaluated the system in a Japanese science museum and confirmed its effectiveness.
