1. A method comprising:
- collecting, by a processor, information from one or more data sources, the collected information comprising at least in part non-audio data from at least one of the one or more data sources;
processing, by the processor, the collected information into a plurality of sound sources based on one or more attributes of the collected information;
presenting, by the processor, the plurality of sound sources in a combined three-dimensional audio/visual space comprising the plurality of sound sources playing at a same time in a three-dimensional sound space of the combined audio/visual space, wherein each of the plurality of sound sources is assigned a respective location in the three-dimensional sound space relative to one another, and wherein a user is assigned a current location in the three-dimensional sound space relative to each respective location; and
presenting, by the processor, at least one graphical presentation of the non-audio data in the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space based on navigation within the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space by the user.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, audio and non-audio data can be represented as sound sources in a three-dimensional sound space adapted to also provide visual data. Non-audio data can be associated with audio sound sources presented in the sound space. Navigation within this combined three-dimensional audio/visual space can be based primarily on the audio aspects of the sound sources with the details of the non-audio data being presented on demand, for example, when the listener navigates through the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space to a particular sound source at which point the non-audio data associated with that sound source can be presented.

11. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled with the processor and storing a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to provide a combined three-dimensional audio/visual space by; collecting information from one or more data sources, the collected information comprising at least in part non-audio data from at least one of the one or more data sources; processing the collected information into a plurality of sound sources based on one or more attributes of the collected information; presenting the plurality of sound sources in the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space comprising the plurality of sound sources playing at a same time in a three-dimensional sound space of the combined audio/visual space, wherein each of the plurality of sound sources is assigned a respective location in the three-dimensional sound space relative to one another, and wherein a user is assigned a current location in the three-dimensional sound space relative to each respective location; and presenting at least one graphical presentation of the non-audio data in the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space based on navigation within the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space by the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions stored therein which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
collect information from one or more data sources, the collected information comprising at least in part non-audio data from at least one of the one or more data sources; process the collected information into a plurality of sound sources based on one or more attributes of the collected information; present the plurality of sound sources in the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space comprising the plurality of sound sources playing at a same time in a three-dimensional sound space of the combined audio/visual space, wherein each of the plurality of sound sources is assigned a respective location in the three-dimensional sound space relative to one another, and wherein a user is assigned a current location in the three-dimensional sound space relative to each respective location; and present at least one graphical presentation of the non-audio data in the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space based on navigation within the combined three-dimensional audio/visual space by the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
