Abstract:
An image processing unit, comprising:shape memory in which object shape data are prerecorded; a processing component for establishing coordinate values for objects in three-dimensional virtual space based on the shape data stored in said shape memory; conversion means for receiving the coordinate values established by said processing component, and for converting the coordinate values to a visual field coordinate system based on a prescribed view point; audio generating means for generating sounds based on the position of said objects in the three-dimensional virtual space; view point establishment means for establishing the position of said view point on the basis of the sound generating state of said audio generating means; and image means for adding desired texture to the shape data of the visual field coordinate system converted by said conversion means; wherein said view point establishment means directs the line of vision from said view point in the direction in which sounds are generated.
