Apparatus and associated methods for presentation of a bird's eye view

Abstract

An apparatus configured, based on virtual reality content for viewing in virtual reality, the virtual reality content comprising visual content for display in a three dimensional virtual reality space and spatial audio content comprising audio for presentation such that it is audibly perceived to originate from one or more particular directions in the virtual reality space corresponding to one or more points or regions in the visual content, the virtual reality content defining at least a ground level of said virtual reality space; and based on display of a birds-eye view of the virtual reality space to a user comprising a view of the visual content substantially downward towards said ground level from a point of view location in said virtual reality space elevated from said ground level; to provide for presentation of said spatial audio content with a spatial audio modification, the spatial audio modification configured to modify the one or more particular directions from which the user perceives the spatial audio as being heard in an upward direction relative to said ground level at least for spatial audio content having a particular direction that is outside a field of view of said birds-eye view.
