GEO-TAGGED SOUNDWALKS
This edition of locativeadio is experimenting with three different systems to connect the Soundwalk Audioguide Tours with the Concert Hall, via geotagging.
Participants in the Tours
will send information to The Noise Upstairs locativeaudio guest Ensemble and the Audiogame performances. Physical geo-soundwalk Tours will happen in Manchester, UK and the USA.

LOCATIONS:
There are a number of geotagged soundwalks for June 29th 2012 event:
- Whitworth Park Soundwalk (Manchester, UK)
- Heaton Park Soundwalk (Manchester, UK)
- Blacksburg, Virginia Soundwalk (USA)

SOUNDWALK SYSTEMS:
We are expeimenting with thee prototypes to connect the walks with the concert hall:
- NoTours Augmented Aurality tools (for Android)
- Develped by notours.org and escoitar.org
- SonicMaps Audio Geotagging system with Unity3D (for Androd and iOS)
- Developed by Ignacio Pecino at NOVARS Research Centre
- SoundToys Media Tours
- Developed by Andrew Dolphin and Kingsley Ash at Leeds Metropolitan University

TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYED:
- Smartphones and Tablets: for the tours we are providing a number of these with GPS and 3G Sim cards with pre-loaded data but participants may bring their own. Android systems are better tested but we are also prototyping iOS technoogy (iphone,ipad) this year. Participants can bring their devices prior to the talk (confirmation via ricardo.climent@locativeaudio.org).
- Portable Hotspot: If participants have a devide which is not 3G capable but has WIFI and GPS, we have two Huawei E865 they can connect to (these are portable hotspots at 21.5 mbps)
Note:
Walking shoes and good headphones with minijack input are also needed. We have spare headphones if needed but no shoes!
