Abstract
Methods and systems for processing audio for a user include identifying an interactive zone of the user as the user is interacting with a video game in a real-world environment. The real-world environment is monitored to detect any changes that can affect the interactive zone. Responsive to detecting changes, a volume of the audio directed to one side or both side of a headphone providing the audio to one or both ears of the user is dynamically adjusted. The adjustment to the audio is to prevent the user from getting distracted while interacting with the video game.
