    Abstract: There is disclosed inter alia a method for rendering a virtual reality audio scene comprising: receiving information defining a limited area audio scene within the virtual reality audio scene (301), wherein the limited area audio scene defines a sub space of the virtual reality audio scene (304), wherein the information defines the limited area audio scene by defining an extent a user can move within the virtual audio scene; determining if the movement of the user within the limited area audio scene meets a condition of an audio scene change (302); and processing the audio scene change when the movement of the user within the limited area audio scene meets the condition of an audio scene change (306).

    Abstract: This specification describes: using a first camera of a multi-camera device to obtain first video data of a first region; using a second camera of the multi-camera device to obtain second video data of a second region; generating a multi-camera video output from the first and second video data using a first video mapping to map the first video data to a first portion of the multi-camera video output and using a second video mapping to map the second video data to a second portion of the multi-camera video output; and generating an audio output from obtained audio data, the audio output comprising an audio output having a directional component within the first portion of the video output and an audio output having a directional component within the second portion of the video output, wherein generating the audio output comprises using a first audio mapping to map audio data having a directional component within the first region to the audio output having a directional component within the first portion of the video output and using a second audio mapping to map audio data having a directional component within the second region to the audio output having a directional component within the second portion of the video output.

    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.
