Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) audio can be presented during an augmented reality, mixed reality, or virtual reality simulation to notify a user that a real-world object is approaching or has crossed a boundary for an interaction space within which the user is to interact with the simulation. The 3D audio may indicate the current location of the intrusion or boundary while still leaving the user immersed in the simulation.
