    Abstract: An apparatus comprising means for: causing display of at least one world-locked volumetric object having at least one non-viewable region; determining a change in a user's viewing position relative to the at least one world-locked volumetric object; determining if the change in the user's viewing position relative to the at least one world-locked volumetric object will cause display of at least a portion of the at least one non-viewable region of the at least one world-locked volumetric object; and if it is determined that the change in the user's viewing position will cause display of at least a portion of the at least one non-viewable region, cause the at least one world-locked volumetric object to be user-locked.

    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: A method including receiving an audio scene including at least one source captured using at least one near field microphone and at least one far field microphone. The method includes determining at least one room-impulse-response associated with the audio scene based on the at least one near field microphone and the at least one far field microphone, accessing a predetermined scene geometry corresponding to the audio scene, and identifying best match to the predetermined scene geometry in a scene geometry database. The method also includes performing RIR comparison based on the at least one RIR and at least one geometric RIR associated with the best matching geometry and rendering a volumetric audio scene based on a result of the RIR comparison.

    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: A method, apparatus and computer readable medium is described in which audio data from multiple directions are received at a first user device (such as a mobile communication device). Instructions are received at the first user device from a remote device. An audio focus arrangement in the form of a direction-dependent amplification of the received audio data is generated. The audio focus arrangement is dependent on an orientation direction of the first user device and is modified in accordance with the instructions from the remote device.
