Abstract
A method comprising: rendering a user interface for user selection of sound objects for rendering, each sound object being associated with a location in a three-dimensional sound space, wherein the user interface maps sound objects onto at least one shape and identifies sound objects on the shape at a collection of locations on the shape that differs from the associated locations of the identified sound objects; and in response to a user actuation selecting a sound object, rendering at least the selected sound object in the three-dimensional sound space at its associated location.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- render a user interface for user selection of sound objects for rendering, each sound object being associated with a location in a three-dimensional sound space, wherein the user interface maps the sound objects onto at least one shape and identifies the sound objects on the at least one shape at a collection of locations on the at least one shape that differs from a set comprising the associated locations of the identified sound objects, wherein identifying the sound objects on the at least one shape comprises identifying the sound objects using content for each sound object that is indicative of one or more sound object characteristics, wherein the one or more sound object characteristics are from the group comprising:
- relative importance, speech, loudness, duration;
- and
- in response to a user actuation associated with a location on the at least one shape, select at least one sound object associated with the location and render at least the at least one selected sound object in the three-dimensional sound space at its associated location.
A method comprising:
- rendering a user interface for user selection of sound objects for rendering, each sound object being associated with a location in a three-dimensional sound space, wherein the user interface maps the sound objects onto at least one shape and identifies the sound objects on the at least one shape at a collection of locations on the at least one shape that differs from a set comprising the associated locations of the identified sound objects, wherein identifying the sound objects on the at least one shape comprises identifying the sound objects using content for each sound object that is indicative of one or more sound object characteristics, wherein the one or more sound object characteristics are from the group comprising:
- relative importance, speech, loudness, duration;
- and
- in response to a user actuation associated with a location on the at least one shape, selecting at least one sound object associated with the location and rendering at least the at least one selected sound object in the three-dimensional sound space at its associated location.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon for performing at least the following:
- render a user interface for user selection of sound objects for rendering, each sound object being associated with a location in a three-dimensional sound space, wherein the user interface maps the sound objects onto at least one shape and identifies the sound objects on the at least one shape at a collection of locations on the at least one shape that differs from a set comprising the associated locations of the identified sound objects, wherein identifying the sound objects on the at least one shape comprises identifying the sound objects using content for each sound object that is indicative of one or more sound object characteristics, wherein the one or more sound object characteristics are from the group comprising:
- relative importance, speech, loudness, duration;
- and
- in response to a user actuation associated with a location on the at least one shape, select at least one sound object associated with the location and render at least the at least one selected sound object in the three-dimensional sound space at its associated location.
