Application: Computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having sound processing program stored therein, information processing system, information processing apparatus, and sound processing method (Patent ID: US20240181344A1)
The patent filed by Nintendo Co Ltd. describes a system for determining the position of a virtual camera and microphone in a virtual space based on user input. The system also calculates the volume of sound output for each sound source in the virtual space based on the distance between the sound source and a volume reference position set at the virtual microphone's position or shifted towards the look-at point. The system further includes features for determining sound localization and adjusting the volume reference position based on the positional relationship between the sound source, virtual microphone, and look-at point.
The patent also covers a method for sound processing that involves determining the look-at point and camera position in the virtual space, as well as the position of the virtual microphone. The method calculates the volume of sound output for each sound source based on the distance from the source to a volume reference position set at the microphone's position or shifted towards the look-at point. Additionally, the method includes steps for determining sound localization, adjusting the volume reference position based on the sound source's position relative to the microphone, and controlling a player character in the virtual space based on user input.
