Abstract: An approach is provided for creating a virtual workspace among devices based, at least in part, on location information. The virtual workspace corresponds to an application or a service common to the devices. Monitoring of the movement of one or more of the devices causes manipulation of the virtual workspace, the application, the service, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the movement. Example applications and services include media editing, media playback, image processing, social networking, and social control functionality.

Abstract: An approach is provided for acquiring media corresponding to a target expression. The expression platform receives a request specifying one or more target expressions. Next, the expression platform causes, at least in part, acquisition of media including an expression of one or more emotions. Next, the expression platform performs recognition analysis on the media to extract expression data. Next, the expression platform matches the extracted expression data against reference data corresponding to the one or more target expressions. Then, the expression platform computes a similarity score between the extracted expression data and the matched target expression.

Abstract: An approach is provided for the presentation of guidance information for capturing media content by a mobile device. Location information of the mobile device is acquired. A presentation is initiated of guidance information for capturing media content by the mobile device as part of a sequence of media contents. The guidance information is based on the location information and specifies distance and directional angle for the capture of the media content according to the sequence of media contents. Whether there is a deviation from guidance information is determined. A signal is generated to provide feedback relating to the determined deviation.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus comprising a processor configured to determine a property associated with an access device; and automatically select a characteristic of an avatar based at least in part on the property is disclosed.
