Abstract
A predetermined sound is reproduced at a position of a sound source object. The sound is received by a plurality of virtual microphones, and a sound volume of the sound received at each virtual microphone is calculated. In addition, a localization of the sound received at the virtual microphone is also calculated. Furthermore, a localization of a sound to be outputted to a sound output section is calculated on the basis of the loudness and the localization of the sound received at each virtual microphone. The sound of the sound source object is outputted to the sound output section on the basis of the localization.
