Claim 16:
17. A method of generating sounds for a user in an environment in which the user is located, the method comprising:
receiving, at an input device, one or more inputs derived from the environment;
obtaining, using a processor, an acoustic profile for the environment based on or in response to the one or more inputs;
synthesizing audio data having audio characteristics corresponding to a sound source in the environment in accordance with the acoustic profile, where the sound source is one of a virtual source and a real source;
outputting the synthesized audio data to the user;
render a virtual object at a location in the environment, where the virtual object comprises a virtual source of sound;
output, to a user, audio data having audio characteristics corresponding to the virtual source at a first location; and
monitor a reaction of the user to the output synthesized audio data to determine whether the user reaction is an expected or unexpected reaction.
