Abstract:
1. A three-dimensional acoustic panning device comprising: a sound source acoustic signal acquiring means for acquiring acoustic signals radiated from at least one sound source; a sound image forming acoustic signal output means for outputting acoustic signals to form sound images; an arrangement information storage means for storing an arrangement information of said sound image forming acoustic signal output means; a panning information input means for inputting a panning information consisting of directions centering on the sound receiving point and distances between the sound receiving point and said sound source; and a sound image forming acoustic signal generating means for generating sound image forming acoustic signals which form sound images at the positions determined by said directions and said distances in said panning information in response to the change of said panning information based on said sound source acoustic signals and said arrangement information, and outputting said sound image forming signal to said image forming acoustic signal output means.
