An apparatus and method is disclosed relating to determining visual attention of a user. The method may, for example, comprise tracking eye positions of a user during simultaneous display of first and second content to the user, wherein the first content comprises content displayed by a head-worn display device so that it is perceived by the user as located at a first distance from the user and the second content is displayed by a display screen of a further display device located at a second distance from the user. The method may also comprise modifying the display of either, or both, of the first and second content such as to modify the spatial position at which they appear with respect to one another. The method may also comprise determining which of the displayed first and second content the user is looking at based at least on eye position movements, if any, tracked subsequent to the modifying, and changing the display of other one of the first and second content which the user is not determined to be looking at such as to reduce its visibility relative to the content that the user is determined to be looking at.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to permit audio signals to provide additional information to a user regarding the distance to the source of the audio signals, thereby increasing a user's situational awareness. In the context of a method, a distance and a direction from a user to an object are determined. The method also scales the distance to the object to create a modified distance within a predefined sound field region about the user. The method also causes an audio cue relating to the object to be audibly provided to the user. The audio cue is such that the object appears to be located within the predefined sound field region in the direction and at the modified distance from the user from the user.

Method and apparatus for providing virtual audio reproduction

Systems and techniques for providing data to a user in the form of perceived light signals caused by transcutaneous stimulation of the user's optic nerve. User output data, suitably representing data collected, generated, or processed by a data processing device, is used to generate user output data. The user output data is converted to representations corresponding to light signals, and control functions are performed to cause generation of electrical impulses which, when applied to the skin of a user, stimulate the optic nerve of the user so as to cause the user to perceive the light signals.
