Original Abstract Submitted
Examples of the disclosure relate to maintaining spatial audio continuity in a combined space. In examples of the disclosure there is provided an apparatus including circuitry for: determining a first spatial audio configuration for at least a first space including a first acoustic rendering arrangement and determining a second spatial audio configuration for at least a second space including a second acoustic rendering arrangement; and determining a combined spatial audio scene for a combined space including at least the first space and the second space. The combined spatial audio scene is based on the first spatial audio configuration and the second spatial audio configuration and wherein the combined spatial audio scene is configured to maintain spatial audio continuity in response to a user position changing from the first space to the second space.
