An audio-visual system providing a directional audio stream corresponding to an element in a same direction the element is rendered in a stereoscopic display. As a result, the audio stream may be audible only in portion of an area in the direction the element is rendered. Developers of audio-visual content can creatively use such a feature to enhance user experience as suited in the specific environment. In an embodiment, an object data provided for an element specifies whether the directional audio is to be sent in the same direction the element is rendered. Accordingly, the audio and rendered direction may be aligned only for some of the elements in a scene. In a scenario in which the audio-visual system corresponds to a game console, user interaction may determine the direction of an element, and thus both visual and audio directions are accordingly set.
A method of enhancing user experience of audio-visual content provided by a system, said method being implemented in said system, said method comprising:
A computer readable medium storing one or more sequences of instructions causing a system to provide enhanced user experience of audio-visual content, wherein execution of said one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors contained in said system causes said system to perform the actions of:
An audio-visual system comprising:
