    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed comprising means for providing first positional data indicative of a first user position in a virtual space which comprises a plurality of audio objects. The means may also be for receiving, based at least partially on the first positional data, data indicative of a first allocation of the audio objects into a prioritized order or into one of a plurality of prioritized groups in which each group has a respective priority order, and receiving audio data associated with at least some of the audio objects. The means may also be for rendering the received audio data for at least some of the audio objects associated with the received audio data, based on the first allocation data, in which audio objects with a higher priority or in a higher priority group are rendered with priority over audio objects allocated with a lower priority or in a lower priority group.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is disclosed, comprising rendering a virtual scene of a virtual space that corresponds to a virtual position of a user in the virtual space as determined at least in part by the position of the user in a physical space. Embodiments also involve identifying one or more objects in the virtual scene which are in conflict with attributes of the physical space. Embodiments also involve detecting one or more blinking periods of the user when consuming the virtual scene. Embodiments also involve modifying the position of the one or more conflicting objects in the virtual scene based on a detected context. The modifying may be performed within the one or more detected blinking periods.

    Abstract: A method comprising: causing display of a sound-source virtual visual object in a three-dimensional virtual visual space; causing display of a multiplicity of interconnecting virtual visual objects in the three-dimensional virtual visual space, wherein at least some of the multiplicity of interconnecting virtual visual objects interconnect visually a sound-source virtual visual object and a user-controlled virtual visual object, wherein a visual appearance of each interconnecting virtual visual object, is dependent upon one or more characteristics of a sound object associated with the sound-source virtual visual object to which the interconnecting virtual visual object is interconnected, and wherein audio processing of the sound objects to produce rendered sound objects depends on user-interaction with the user-controlled virtual visual object and user-controlled interconnection of interconnecting virtual visual objects between sound-source virtual visual objects and the user-controlled virtual visual object.
