Listen here!: A city map to "hear"

As we all know, the GPS map is a great invention, which combines satellite photography and the technology of Google Street View so that we can see the images everywhere. This feature is widely used in an incredible range of applications. But even so, it is limited to the visual aspect, so is there any possibility that we can feel the city on the map on the hearing and hear the sound of that place. If it can be done, it must be a very cool and incredible thing.

According to foreign media reports, Listen here! is Lah Humo (Nicola Hume) The invention of a concept, so that our imagination into reality. You can use it to hear voices somewhere on the map. The following is an introduction to it by an industry person:

But now you can use listen here! to hear voices somewhere on the map. It's an interactive guide, and you need a "stethoscope" to use it. The map is synchronized with several microphones in the city, and when you put your stethoscope in a certain position, you can hear it in real time.

In fact, this stethoscope is an RFID reader, it can perceive a chip placed on a map, and then transmit the appropriate audio source according to the unique identifier.

If you want to explore a city like bohemian people, you might think it's a wonderful idea. City managers can put up microphones in important places, allowing visitors to listen to the city's voice and decide what route to follow.

But it can also be a site management tool. You can imagine a situation in a museum where you can hear people talking in front of different paintings, and at an amusement park you can hear the screams on different roller coaster rides. Listen here! is an excellent idea, and because it has more than one use case, its users can have more than one type. For example, Yelp users can "taste samples" with their ears before going to live concerts, and you can also move the basic concept to mobile devices.

On the other hand, maybe someone will use it for mischief, so now everyone should be on the alert.
