Our main aim was to create a lightweight spatial audio display that can convey a sense of a place without complex point and select interactions. We conducted a preliminary study comparing two audio types to see which best suited sound localization and a study of Audvert used in a real world scenario. Our findings suggest that long continuous audio performs better than short intermittent audio for sound localisation. We also discover a change in behaviour when using the system, with a large percentage of users wanting to visit newly discovered shops after using the system. We discuss the findings and draw research conclusions. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01510524/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01510524/file/978-3-642-40498-6_35_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01510524 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01510524 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-8120
