Audio Guide: Encouraging urban connections with the more-than-human world
Welcome! Thank you for participating in this self-guided audio tour, which is part of my final major research project at Royal Roads University.
Before you get started, please review the following:
1. Walk at your normal walking pace. Feel free to pause the audio tour at any time to reflect or observe on a specific area for as long as you wish.
2. Follow all pedestrian and traffic signals as you participate in this tour. Also, please be mindful of inclement weather that can create slippery or unstable sidewalks or walking conditions.
3. The image of the map indicates all five stops on this tour. The number on each audio clip accompanies the number on the map. Listen to the audio clips as you're walking to the next stop.
4. Once you've reached the next stop, and the previous clip has finished, press play and listen to the next audio clip that coincides with the number on the map.
5. If the clip ends before you reach the next stop, simply remove your headphones and listen to the sounds of the city until you reach the next stop. Please refrain from listening to anything else while on the tour. Once you've reached the next stop, press play on the next audio clip.
6. If the audio clip is still playing when you've reached the next stop, simply wait at the next stop and allow the clip to end before playing the next audio clip.
7. Please refrain from using your phone or listening to any other mediums during your walk.
8. Please feel free to adjust the volume accordingly either using your mobile device or sliding volume adjustor on "YourAudioTour".
