Abstract
A method including, detecting interaction between the user and an audio-object via local tracking, determining an audio-object state modification based on the local tracking, and performing an audio-object interaction based on the audio-object state modification.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- determining an amount of received metadata;
- enabling detection of interaction between a user and an audio-object at an interaction area based, at least partially, on the determined amount of received metadata, wherein the detecting of the interaction between the user and the audio-object is based on the received metadata when the determined amount of the received metadata comprises a first amount, wherein the detecting of the interaction between the user and the audio-object is based on tracking of a position of the user in relation to the audio-object when the determined amount of the received metadata comprises a second amount, where the first amount is different from the second amount;
- determining a state of the audio-object based, at least partially, on a determination of whether the interaction is detected, wherein the determined state is one of a plurality of audio-object states;
- and
- rendering the audio-object based on the determined state of the audio-object.

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 at least to perform:
- determine an amount of received metadata;
- enable detection of interaction between a user and an audio-object at an interaction area based, at least partially, on the determined amount of received metadata, wherein detecting the interaction between the user and the audio-object is based on the received metadata when the determined amount of the received metadata comprises a first amount, wherein detecting the interaction between the user and the audio-object is based on tracking of a position of the user in relation to the audio-object when the determined amount of the received metadata comprises a second amount, where the first amount is different from the second amount;
- determine a state of the audio-object based, at least partially, on a determination of whether the interaction is detected, wherein the determined state is one of a plurality of audio-object states;
- and
- cause rendering of the audio-object based on the determined state of the audio-object.
6 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon which, when executed with at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- determine an amount of received metadata;
- enable detection of interaction between a user and an audio-object at an interaction area based, at least partially, on the determined amount of received metadata, wherein detecting the interaction between the user and the audio-object is based on the received metadata when the determined amount of the received metadata comprises a first amount, wherein detecting the interaction between the user and the audio-object is based on tracking of a position of the user in relation to the audio-object when the determined amount of the received metadata comprises a second amount, where the first amount is different from the second amount;
- determine a state of the audio-object based, at least partially, on a determination of whether the interaction is detected, wherein the determined state is one of a plurality of audio-object states;
- and
- cause rendering of the audio-object based on the determined state of the audio-object.
