Abstract
Presented as a consumer product as part of a quality assured service provision, the guided tour carries expectations of receiving authoritative information about a site. The ‘point, click and listen’ audio devices that allow users to select from preloaded content as they move around a gallery, museum or tourist attraction, for example, illustrate how technology has been used to provide visitors with the same information about objects in front of them. Users are able to choose information that provides an interpretation of the object from a particular point of view.
