Abstract:
An interactive and responsive presentation of spatially-associated information related to a user's environment based on the user's context is provided. Aspects of a 3D audio cloud system extract information about entities in the user's environment, and generate and provide the user with a 3D audio cloud that presents a spatial audio representation of entities in the user's environment that gives the user cues as to where the entities are located with respect to the user. An entity can be represented in a descriptive manner that provides the user with various types of information about the entity (e.g., shape, size, color, others' opinions, actions, emotions). Further, aspects of the 3D audio cloud system dynamically update the 3D audio cloud based on the user's location, position, or orientation, receive selection input from the user associated with the 3D audio cloud, and retrieve and present additional information as requested by the user.
