Here&There : an augmented reality system of linked audio

This paper presents an augmented reality system using audio as the primary interface. Using the authoring component of this system, individuals can leave "audio imprints," consisting of several layers of music, sound effects, or recorded voice, at a location outdoors. Using the navigation component, individuals can hear imprints by walking into the area that the imprint occupies. Furthermore, imprints can be linked together, whereby an individual is directed from one imprint to related imprints in the area.
