Wired News: Celebrity sightings may be a dime a dozen in New York City, but now visitors can extend that glimpse to almost an hour, with stars Sigourney Weaver and Jerry Stiller talking their ears off.
Weaver’s and Stiller’s voices pop up as narrators for Talking Street, a series of cell-phone tours that guide visitors through the Lower East Side, Lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center site.
Those in the industry agree these experiences probably won’t replace traditional tour options like books and live guides. But they’re confident that as air time gets cheaper and mobile technology improves, the popularity of such tours will grow.
