    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is disclosed. The apparatus may comprise means for providing audio data for output to a user device, the audio data representing a virtual space comprising a plurality of sounds located at respective spatial locations within the virtual space, the plurality of sounds being respectively associated with a plurality of sound sources. The apparatus may also comprise means for detecting a predetermined gesture associated with a user identifying one of the plurality of sound sources to be a sound source of interest, determining a directional vector between a position of the user at a time of detecting the predetermined gesture and a position of the sound source of interest in the virtual space, and processing the audio data such that sounds at least in the direction of the directional vector are modified when output to the user device.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising: detecting one or more parts of a hand of a user within a first defined distance of a touch sensitive tactile display; determining based, at least in part, on the detected parts of the hand of the user, an expected type of user interaction with the display, including determining an expected number of parts (e.g. digits or fingers) of the hand that will make contact with the display as part of the expected type of user interaction; and providing tactile feedback to the user when the user makes contact with the display dependent, at least in part, on the expected type of user interaction.

    Abstract: A methods and apparatuses for optimizing screen usage are disclosed. The solution comprises detecting (400) that the user of the apparatus is wearing sunglasses and controlling (402), based on the detection, allocation and presentation of the visual content on one or more displays of the apparatus according to the polarization characteristics of the one or more displays, where at least one display utilises different polarization characteristics compared to other displays if the apparatus has more than one display.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising capturing spatial audio data during an image capturing process, determining an orientation of an image capturing device during the spatial audio data capture, generating an audio focus signal from said captured spatial audio data (wherein said audio focus signal is focused in an image capturing direction of said image capturing device), generating modified spatial audio data (e.g. by modifying the captured spatial audio data to compensate for changes in orientation during the spatial audio data capture), and generating an audio output signal from a combination of the audio focus signal and the modified spatial audio data.
