Technology possibility on Tours

• Electronic Museum Guide Wiki article that has more info..
  
• Audio Tour
• City Audio Guide - possibility of $1.5B industry (Why not a Open Source Wiki for this industry?)
• Location awareness can help (GPS)
• How about fm receiver with user. The ultra low power transmitter transmits location based info over the fm channel (Would that save total cost of ownership of such system?)
• How about integrating with Google Street View as part of the multimedia tour guide
• We can get sms or tweaks for the tour info (short and sweet)!!
