INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

The present technology relates to an information processing device and method for allowing a sound image to be localized with higher precision, and a program. When a target sound image is outside a mesh, the target sound image is moved in a vertical direction while a position in a horizontal direction of the target sound image remains fixed, so that the target sound image is present on a boundary of the mesh. Specifically, a mesh detection unit detects a mesh including a position in the horizontal direction of the target sound image. A candidate position calculation unit calculates a position that is a movement target of the target sound image, based on loudspeaker positions that are at opposite ends of an arc of the detected mesh that is a destination, and the position in the horizontal direction of the target sound image. As a result, the target sound image can be moved onto a boundary of the mesh. The present technology is applicable to a sound processing device.
