Abstract
A virtual sound source position determination unit () determines a position of the virtual sound source from which a sound represented by a sound signal is output based on a detected motion of a user (). A sound signal processing unit () performs stereophonic sound processing on the sound signal based on the determined position of the virtual sound source. The sound signal processing unit () reproduces the sound signal subjected to the stereophonic sound processing. Thus, the sound signal is reproduced such that the sound suitable for the motion of the user is output.
