Abstract
Location-based media content can be consumed by end users via a software program that executes on a computing device. More specifically, the software program may be supported by a content distribution platform that allows multiple end users to experience the same location-based media content substantially simultaneously. The content distribution platform may also permit multiple computing devices to be synced. For example, the computing devices may be communicatively coupled over a first communication channel (e.g., via Bluetooth®) and/or a second communication channel (e.g., via the Internet or a cellular network). In some embodiments, the content distribution platform dynamically changes the media content based on real-life events, such as weather, ambient noise level, time of day, walking speed, etc. For example, a guided audio tour could be dynamically modified based on whether a business along the intended route is open when the end user(s) elect to begin the tour.
