This chapter presents the concept of Gaze-Led Audio Description (GLAD) and its application for the accessibility of city space. Audio Description (AD) is created by domain experts who have deep knowledge of the audio-described matter but might have their own narrative biases. Many studies report that experts’ perception and attentional patterns over the objects of their expertise are different from the perception of non-experts. As an unintended result, audio descriptions of architectural heritage created by experts, art historians or architects, might lose accessibility to non-experts. For example, often experts’ views of historic buildings are based on reading diagrams of historic buildings, leading the description from a general presentation of the basic divisions of architectural structures. The descriptions then focus on the details leading from the lower to the upper parts. This type of audio description is useful in the analysis of monuments; however, it may not reflect the natural way of looking, which usually focuses initially on the dominant accent of the mass. In this chapter, we postulate that AD may benefit from adjusting it regarding the analysis of visual attention patterns of non-experts. We present some insights from empirical research.
