Abstract:
1. A voice processor comprising: a calculating unit which calculates an amount of overlap between a region occupied by a three-dimensional spatial body containing an arrival point of a reflected sound reflected by an object arranged within a virtual space and the object; a modifying unit which modifies a reflected sound reflected from the object based on the amount of overlap calculated by the calculating unit; an outputting unit which outputs a reflected sound modified by the modifying unit as a sound to be acquired at the arrival point; an image generating unit which generates an image in which an object arranged within the virtual space is seen from the arrival point within the virtual space; and a visual axis direction acquiring unit which acquires from the image generating unit a visual axis direction in which an object arranged within the virtual space is seen from the arrival point; wherein the calculating unit arranges the three-dimensional spatial body based on the visual axis direction acquired by the visual axis direction acquiring unit and calculates an amount of overlap between the three-dimensional spatial body and the object.
