    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to output of audio signals and particularly to rendering of one or more sound sources represented by such audio signals using two or more physical loudspeakers. In an example method, there is disclosed a method, comprising rendering, by output of audio signals from two or more physical loudspeakers having different respective positions, at least a first sound source such that the first sound source is intended to be perceived as having a first direction with respect to a user which is other than a physical loudspeaker direction. The method may also comprise detecting that an audio capture device of the user operates in a directivity mode for steering a sound capture beam towards the first direction. The method may also comprise, responsive to the detecting, performing modified rendering by outputting audio signals of the first sound source from a selected one of the two or more physical loudspeakers and not from the other physical loudspeaker(s) such that the first sound source will be perceived from the direction of the selected physical loudspeaker thereby to cause the sound capture beam to be steered towards the selected physical loudspeaker.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed. An example embodiment of the method may comprise receiving audio and video data from a plurality of user devices as part of a conference call, the video data representing a user of the respective user device and identifying one or more of the user devices as having a spatial audio capture capability. Another operation may comprise displaying, or causing display of, the video data from the user devices in different respective windows of a user interface. The respective windows for the identified one or more user devices may be displayed in an enlarged format so as to have a wider background region than for windows for the user devices without a spatial capture capability.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program for signaling change events at an audio output device are disclosed. The apparatus may include circuitry for detecting, during an audio communications session between a first user device and a second user device, a change event at a first earphones device associated with the first user device, the first earphones device included of first and second earphones. The apparatus may also include circuitry for signaling the detected change event to the second user device and/or a second audio output device associated with the second user device.

    Abstract: This specification describes an apparatus, method and computer program relating to virtual reality, particularly augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality (MR). The method may comprise providing, based on a position associated with a display means, different first and second sets of virtual content for overlaid display at the display means at a first time and determining that the first set of virtual content is prioritized over the second set of virtual content. Based on the determination, the method may comprise prioritizing display of the first set of virtual content over the second set of virtual content at the display means, and enabling display of the second set of virtual content at a second, subsequent, time.
