In the station
3D SoundScape in use at station barriers
The station is large and noisy. Kate does an audio sweep of the station using the Microsoft 3D soundscape technology and the layout is described to her. She now knows exactly where the stairs, lifts and ticket barriers are. As her ticket and seat have been pre-booked, Kate goes straight to the ticket barriers and comes in range of beacons which let her know where the ‘manned barriers’ are. Once through the barriers, with the help of an assistant, she is directed to the lifts which will take her up to the platform.
