Abstract

A method, system, and computer product for providing a visual indication of sound capture capability of a microphone includes receiving data corresponding to a polar pattern and a sound capture range of the microphone from a memory, generating a projection signal based on the data corresponding to the polar pattern and the sound capture range provided from the memory, generating a virtual image based on the projection signal, and projecting the generated virtual image near a sound source. The virtual image provides a visual indication of capability of the microphone to capture a sound generated by the sound source.
