METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR MANIPULATING CHARACTERISTICS OF AUDIO OBJECTS BY USING DIRECTIONAL GESTURES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting at least one audio object;
operating a pointer in a selected direction by a user;
detecting a gesture of the pointer in response to the operating of the pointer in the selected direction; and
controlling, via a processor, at least one characteristic of the detected audio object in response to the detected gesture of the pointer or an indication of a selection of the at least one characteristic.

Abstract
An apparatus for enabling manipulation of one or more audio objects may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including detecting at least one audio object and operating a pointer in a selected direction by a user. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to detect a gesture of the pointer in response to the operating of the pointer in the selected direction. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to control at least one characteristic of the detected audio object in response to the detected gesture of the pointer or an indication of a selection of the at least one characteristic. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; detect at least one audio object; operate a pointer in a selected direction by a user; detect a gesture of the pointer in response to the operating of the pointer in the selected direction; and control at least one characteristic of the detected audio object in response to the detected gesture of the pointer or an indication of a selection of the at least one characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
