Abstract: A user interface and a method for providing the user interface is disclosed. In the method a user is provided with a view (11). A real world object (20) that is visible in the view is then selected. A virtual object (22′) is also displayed for the user, said virtual object being associated with an action. The user may select the action by moving the view (11) and the virtual object (22′) relative to the object (20) such that the object and the virtual object become associated with each other. The user interface may comprise display means enabling the user to see the real world object through the display means. The display means may comprise a head mounted display or a hand-held display.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system in which the content and intelligibility of communication by telephone are improved by means of music. Musical compositions are typically works that create in a listener an association with a certain emotion. In the invention, a suitable piece of music (10a, 10b, . . . , 10n) describing the state of mind of the caller (32) is set to be played in the background of a message to be conveyed by phone. The caller may thus communicate his affective state to the conversation partner without expressing it directly in words. Conversely, the music playing in the background of the message gives the called party (34) immediately an idea of the state of mind of the caller so that he can adopt a suitable attitude in the situation. In the invention, the musical compositions are placed in a directory (30) which may be located in the cellular phone (33, 35) of the caller or called party or in the equipment of the operator (36) switching calls.
