A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in accordance with an example embodiment in order to present a virtual reality scene via an immersive user interface concurrent with an image, different than the virtual reality scene, [which] is presented in a view window of the immersive user interface. A virtual reality scene may be presented by a variety of immersive user interfaces.... the immersive user interface may include goggles, glasses or another head-mounted device that is configured to present the virtual reality scene to the user. In order to enhance the immersion of the user in the virtual reality scene, the immersive user interface may be configured to limit or prevent the view by the user of the real world, such as by limiting or preventing a user's peripheral view of the real world. In order to increase the pervasiveness of the user's immersive experience, the immersive user interface may be configured to not only visually present the virtual reality scene, but also to concurrently provide audio signals, such as spatial audio signals, that were recorded and are associated with the virtual reality scene. 4, record 1, English, - virtual%20reality%20scene
