Abstract
This paper proposes the SoundSpot system, a location/user-dependent audio guide system to reduce many restrictions of existing audio-based annotations. It can track the positions of visitors and then only provide sound information to the limited spots around them. We experimented it in an elementary school, where students listened to annotations played by it and their understanding was evaluated. The result of the questionnaire based survey and their answers to the quiz regarding the contents of the sounds proved that the system had the possibility to enable users to enough listen to and understand the contents.
