    Abstract: An apparatus configured to: receive comment information from a first device associated with audio-visual content for presentation at a second device and a comment time indicative of a time during the audio-visual content; receive timing information from the second device indicative of a time during the audio-visual content that is currently being presented; determine a relevant-comment time; and wherein if the time during the audio-visual content that is currently being presented at the second device is greater than the relevant-comment time, display the comment with the audio-visual content presented at the second device at a delayed time comprising: a) a time during the audio-visual content at which there is a reoccurrence of a first event that occurred in the audio-visual content at the comment time; or b) a time during the audio-visual content at which there is a second event, different to but similar to the first event.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer instructions are provided. The apparatus comprises means for: mapping a virtual space to a real space; associating a user's real location in the real space with a virtual location of the user in the virtual space, such that a change in the user's real location causes a corresponding change in the user's virtual location; disassociating the user's real location with the user's virtual location, based at least in part on at least one user input; and changing, following disassociation of the user's real location with the user's virtual location, the user's virtual location without a corresponding change in the user's real location.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising means for: obtaining an indication of a position of at least one user in real space; mapping the position of the user in real space to a position of the user in a sound space; and controlling an output audio signal, for rendering a sound scene via multiple audio channels, to provide rendering of a first sub-set of sound sources via at least a first sub-set of the multiple audio output channels and rendering a second sub-set of sound sources via at least a second sub-set of the multiple audio output channels, wherein an allocation of a plurality of sound sources to the first sub-set of sound sources or the second sub-set of sound sources is dependent upon at least a position of the user in the sound space; wherein an allocation of the multiple audio output channels to the first sub-set of the multiple audio output channels or the second sub-set of the multiple audio output channels is dependent upon available audio paths for the multiple audio output channels.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for distributed audio mixing are disclosed, comprising providing one or more predefined constellations, each constellation defining a spatial arrangement of points forming a shape or pattern and receiving positional data indicative of the spatial positions of a plurality of audio sources in a capture space. A correspondence may be identified between a subset of the audio sources and a constellation based on the relative spatial positions of audio sources in the subset. Responsive to said correspondence, at least one action may be applied, for example an audio, video and/or controlling action to audio sources of the subset.
