Abstract

A system in a first vehicle includes a plurality of sensors, a plurality of audio output devices and circuitry. The circuitry receives a plurality of signals from the plurality of sensors. The circuitry determines a relative position between a first device and the first vehicle based on the received plurality of signals or a geo-location of the first vehicle. The circuitry receives first information from the first device based on the determined relative position between the first device and the first vehicle, and at least one selection criterion. The circuitry generates a first three-dimensional (3D) audio object corresponding to the received first information. The circuitry controls, based on the determined relative position, a first set of audio output devices of the plurality of audio output devices to output the generated first 3D audio object, in a 3D space of the first vehicle at a first time instant.
