Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03058419A2] The invention relates to a virtual assistant, which outputs audible information to a user of a data terminal by means of at least two electroacoustic converters, and to a method for presenting audible information of a virtual assistant for a user of a data terminal. In order to achieve an improved spatially acoustic separation between the information output by the virtual assistant over the electroacoustic converters and additional information output by at least one additional source of sound, the virtual assistant can be spatially positioned by the user of the data terminal. This enables the user to receive and process both information coming from the virtual assistant as well as information coming from the additional source of sound. The synchronous receiving and processing both of the information coming from the virtual assistant as well as that coming from the additional source of sound is at least facilitated for the user.
