ACOUSTIC PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING DATA FOR ACOUSTIC PROCESSING

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a acoustic processing device which can perform simply acoustic processing by which abundant presence can be given to listeners and a method for distributing data for acoustic processing by which data for acoustic processing used for the device can be obtained by a user. SOLUTION: Acoustic processing in which contents data 8C for processing including impulse response data obtained in a real acoustic space is incorporated in an original sound from an audio source 7 is performed, while a picture corresponding to a sound field formed by acoustic processing sound of the output is displayed on a display device 3 in parallel to the output of the acoustic processing sound. A user can experience virtual looking and listening being almost real having presence visually and auditorily. Incorporating processing is performed by using software. A user can perform easily acoustic processing for music or the like recorded in a CD or the like already possessed by the user using the user's personal computer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
