This thursday, Camille Kiejman, editor of Le Nouvel Observateur‘s fashion and lifestyle blog “En mode Libre” talks about one of her “coup de coeur” of the year, namely the soundwalks. After a quick description of the origins and concept of Soundwalk, she reviews the different tours that are available in Paris : Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Le Marais, Le Palais Royal, Belleville, Pigalle. Having tried out all the Parisian Soundwalks herself, she offers an authentic overview of her impressions and gives out her own recommandations about the tours.
“Soundwalk is a really unique experience, a way of looking at the city and travelling in just one hour, but also a way to learn things and get away from everything. My advice : do it together with someone else, it gives the impression to be plugged into a secret frequency and to escape from the nervous spin of the everyday city life.”

A shout out to Smart Mobs writer Mark A.M. Kramer for highlighting Soundwalk‘s upcoming Paris premiere of Augmented Reality audio tours and encouraging the mobile learning community to follow the development of “Aural Augmented Reality“.
SMART MOBS The Next Social Revolution: mobile communication, pervasive computing, wireless networks, collective action
A shout out to technology writer Marshall Kirkpatrick of The New York Times, who featured Soundwalk in a recent article about Layar and Augmented Reality applications.
“Of all the Augmented Reality apps we’ve seen so far, though, Layar is the most exciting because it’s a platform. We look forward to seeing if the user experience can come close to matching the huge amount of hype this medium is getting.
The possibilities are many; New York new media agency Soundwalk is developing a mixed-reality fiction data set for Layar, for example, where users will be able to listen to a story tied to physical locations around their cities and navigate through the story by walking down the street and viewing the places they visit through their phones… “
Stay tuned as we continue to release details on our Soundwalk Mobile projects in development.
