Claim 0:
1. An apparatus to generate audio data for a user, comprising:
an input device to receive one or more inputs derived from an environment in which the user is located; and
a processor configured to:
obtain an acoustic profile for the environment based on or in response to the one or more inputs,
synthesize 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,
output the synthesized audio data for use by 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.
