Abstract:
An apparatus configured to: based on (i) captured spatial audio content of a scene comprising audio that is associated with information indicative of at least a direction in the scene from which said audio was captured; and (ii) visual focus information comprising information indicative of at least a first part of the scene on which corresponding captured visual imagery of the scene is focused for presentation to a user; provide for presentation of the captured spatial audio content to accompany the captured visual imagery, the captured spatial audio content presented as spatial audio, the spatial audio content provided for presentation with a spatial audio focus selectively applied to audio captured from a second part of the scene different to the first part, the spatial audio focus comprising an audio-modifying effect to increase the audibility of the audio having a direction corresponding to the second part.
