Abstract
Providing distanced audio from a remote location using mobile devices, which a change in the orientation of a destination mobile device to a pointing orientation, aimed to an object of interest, is detected using an exploration application that is installed in advance on the mobile device. The azimuth to which the mobile device is currently pointing is calculated and all point and/or of objects of interest which are within a predetermined range from the pointing device, are detected. Then the exploration application automatically connects to a remote server which continuously collects the current location information of any user of a mobile device and maps its location with respect to stationary object or points of interests, or to moving objects. The server provides via the application, one or more audio alerts to the user of the destination device that one or more object or points of interest are in range.
