The Potential of Spatialised Audio for Location Based Services on Mobile Devices: Mediascapes

This position paper describes how spatialised sound can be used to guide users in Location Based Services (LBS) and poses future work not only on how spatialised audio can be advanced for mobile devices by discussing the effect it can have on the experience of the user and the author, for such things as immersion and 3D authoring. It also goes on to hypothesize how human visual cues might be used to potentially minimise the effect of GPS spatialised audio errors to the user's experience.
