The UK designer behind the Listen Here concept would like to give tourists a chance to hear audio from all over a town without having to actually go to each place. With microphones at different locations transmitting data to a central map, tourists would be able to simply point at a different and hear live ambient sound from all around a city.
Listen Here was developed by
Nicola Hume, a Product Design
graduate from the University of Aberdeen
in the UK. The goal
of the project was to encourage
tourists to experience more than
just the popular sightseeing spots and
get a true feel for
the town as a whole. Reports Gizmag.
