Towards location literacy: Finding and documenting preliminary guidelines for designing location-based audio
Anders Fagerjord · 2013
Several reports indicate that a rising number of users are doing most of their web surfing from a mobile, hand-held device (see, e.g., (Smith, 2012). These are devices with many sensors, among them positioning systems. Positioning systems for laptop computers are also becoming widespread. Gunnar Liestol has called this the rise of sensory media (Liestol, Doksrod, Ledas, & Rasmussen, 2012). We believe location-aware web sites will be common, and that more knowledge on how to write “situated texts” is needed. This paper is an attempt to gather some experience with locationaware texts in the form of simple guidelines for authors working in locationaware web services.
