• means for generating a plurality of audio cues that are audibly perceivable in a space about a user, each of the audio cues generated so as to be perceived by the user as a directional sound at a distinct location from other audio cues in the space;
• means for detecting user movement relative to the apparatus, made in response to the audio cues;
• and
• means for selecting at least one of the audio cues based on the user movement.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a set of instructions executable by one or more processors, comprising:

• code for generating a plurality of audio cues that are audibly perceivable in a space about a user, each of the audio cues generated so as to be perceived by the user as a directional sound at a distinct location from other audio cues in the space;
• code for detecting user movement relative to a portable device, made in response to the audio cues;
• and
• code for selecting at least one of the audio cues based on the user movement.

A method of providing a user interface at an electronic device, comprising:
