The research focuses on the case of Al-Khor, a coastal city in northern Qatar. The key objective is to explore ways of building authentic soundscapes that portray Qatari culture and to demonstrate the results through a prototype of an augmented storybook featuring the sounds around the Al-Khor shoreline.  a9781509000487 (ISBN)
