METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR TEMPORALLY BASED DYNAMIC AUDIO SHIFTING

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are therefore provided for providing an spatiotemporal auditory cue to a user. Methods may include: providing for generation of an auditory cue; determining a duration of the auditory cue; and providing for generation of a transition portion of the auditory cue having a dynamic virtual source location moving, relative to a user, from a first virtual source location along a trajectory and ending at a second virtual source location, where the transition portion of the auditory cue has a transition portion duration determined by the duration of the auditory cue and as a function of a predefined transition portion duration threshold.
