Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer readable medium is described in which audio data from multiple directions are received at a first user device (such as a mobile communication device). Instructions are received at the first user device from a remote device. An audio focus arrangement in the form of a direction-dependent amplification of the received audio data is generated. The audio focus arrangement is dependent on an orientation direction of the first user device and is modified in accordance with the instructions from the remote device.
