Audio guides can be used in several environments, and if they are structured well, they can provide immense help for visitors. A few ideas where audio guides can be used are:
- Museums and galleries
- City tours
- Parks
- Zoos and aquariums
- Botanical gardens
However, I have experienced many instances when otherwise good audio guides did not fulfill their promise and created a less than desirable experience, either because they had a conflicting message on the target audience, or they did not properly serve the people they meant to help.
When you implement an audio guide, it is worth considering the needs of your target audience, and it is a good idea to test it with a focus group.
