An audio tour or '''audio guide''' provides a (often an Art Exhibition ) or Museum Collection . They can also be available for Self-guided Tour s of outdoor locations. Typically, the user selects a short piece of spoken information by typing in a number that may be displayed by an Artwork or some other museum object, for example. Increasingly, PDA s or VDA s are being used to provide a Multimedia experience for such tours rather than just sound. An audio guide provides background, context, and information on the works being viewed (Fisher 2004, p.49). Recently, city audio guides describing the attraction of cities or recommended walking tours are becoming more popular. An audio guide can be rented on the spot, often in multilingual versions, but also downloaded from the Internet , often in MP3 format, and are also available via the mobile phone network in some cities. Some audio guides are free or included in the entrance fee, others have to be purchased separately. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
