| Kurzfassung | A large part of the population listens to podcasts and audiobooks on a regular basis. The most popular times to listen to them are during commute or while doing chores around the house. As pure auditory media, they rely exclusively on sounds to convey their messages, which is very limiting when the content deals with visual information such as statistical visualizations, maps or pictures. In these cases, users need a certain level of prior knowledge and experience, which is cognitively more taxing, or they have to interact with their smartphone to look for a visual representation of the content. Augmented Reality is a good option to deal with the downsides of the audio-exclusive of the format,y by supporting them with visual elements. Prior research in AR dealt mostly with the technical, military or medical areas of application and deal with very specific challenges. When it comes to usage in entertainment however, prior research focuses on a stationary application. In this work, we try to fill that gap and aim to answer the question if Augmented Reality can enhance the listening experience of podcasts and audiobooks while on the go. We have developed a prototype for audiobooks, news podcasts and topic podcasts and evaluated their usability and likability in a user study. Overall, the feedback was moderate with the podcast implementations being on the positive and the audiobook implementation being on the negative side. Participants liked the context related images and 3D elements the most. the way our user interface follows the user was critisized the most. Additionally, participants wished for an option to customize the position of the UI and more interaction. Based on the feedback, we provided suggestions for future implementations.
