Abstract: Augmentedreality (or computer augmented environments as it is sometimes called) uses computers to enhance the richness of the real world.It differs from virtual reality in that it doesn't attempt to replace the real world.Our prototype automated tour guide superimposes audio on the world based on where a user is located.We propose this technique for use as an automated tour guide in museums and expect it will enhance the social aspects of museum visits, compared to taped tour guides.
