Abstract
A portable electronic device (PED) divides an area around a user into a three-dimensional (3D) zone. A wearable electronic device worn on a head of the user displays the 3D zone in response to the wearable electronic device detecting that the user is leaving the zone. The wearable electronic device plays binaural sound that emanates to the user from sound localization points (SLPs) inside the zone.
