Mechanism to output audio to trigger the natural instincts of a user

An apparatus for wireless communication for a first device with a plurality of audio output devices, comprising:

• means for receiving, at the first device, at least one audio signal from a second device;
• means for determining a perceived spatial placement of the at least one signal, wherein the perceived spatial placement is based on a spatial relationship between the at least one signal and the first device or between the at least one signal and the second device;
• means for determining a signal strength associated with the at least one audio signal;
• means for determining a position of the second device relative to the first device based at least in part on a first reference point associated with the first device or a second reference point associated with the second device;
• means for determining a time delay associated with an audio output at a subset of the plurality of audio output devices based at least in part on the perceived spatial placement of the at least one audio signal;
• means for determining an intensity difference associated with the audio output at the subset of the plurality of audio output devices based at least in part on one or more of the position of the second device or the signal strength associated with the at least one audio signal;
• and
• means for outputting audio at the plurality of audio output devices, the audio being output at the subset of the plurality of audio output devices based at least in part on the time delay and the intensity difference.
