    Abstract: Apparatus, a method and a computer program are provided. The apparatus includes circuitry for causing rendering of mediated reality content to a user, wherein the mediated reality content includes virtual visual content rendered on a display of a hovering drone. The apparatus also includes circuitry for determining a real location of the user in real space. The apparatus further includes circuitry for dynamically adjusting a real location of the hovering drone, relative to the determined real location of the user, based at least in part on at least one characteristic of the mediated reality content rendered to the user.

    Abstract: Apparatus is configured to associate each of one or more spatially-distributed audio sources in a virtual space, each audio source providing one or more audio signals representing audio for playback through a user device, with a respective fade-in profile which defines how audio volume for the audio source is gradually increased from a minimum level to a target volume level as a function of time. It is configured also to identify, based on user position, a current field-of-view within a virtual space and, in response to detecting that one or more new audio sources have a predetermined relationship with respect to the current field-of-view, fading-in the audio from the or each new audio source according to the fade-in profile for the respective audio source so as to increase their volume gradually towards the target volume level defined by the fade-in profile.
