摘要

A method and implementing computer system is provided in which sounds are projected or rendered in space surrounding a computer system to provide information concerning various aspects of information displayed on the computer system display screen. Computer system users are able to ascertain predetermined information relative to the displayed information, such as a relative scroll point in a lengthy context, by perceiving certain characteristics of the projected sounds, including the perceived location of the source of the projected sounds relative to a designated point of origin, such a user's head or the computer display screen.
