Sony patents virtual audio that spreads out overlapping voices

1. An information processing device, comprising: an information processing unit configured to: generate, based on orientation information, first virtual location information, and second virtual location information, voices of a plurality of speakers, wherein a voice, of the generated voices, corresponding to a speaker of the plurality of speakers is localized at a specific location corresponding to an orientation of a listener, a first location of the listener, and a second location of the speaker, the orientation information includes the orientation of the listener, the first virtual location information includes the first location of the listener in a virtual space, the first location is set by the listener, and the second virtual location information includes the second location of each speaker of the plurality of speakers; adjust a third location of at least one first speaker of the plurality of speakers in the virtual space to make an inter-speaker angle greater than or equal to a specific minimum angle, wherein the inter-speaker angle is between a first direction of a first speaker viewed from the listener and a second direction of a second speaker viewed from the listener; calculate a degree of priority of the each speaker of the plurality of speakers based on the generated voices, wherein the degree of priority is calculated subsequent to a failure of the information processing unit to arrange the plurality of speakers in the virtual space with the inter-speaker angle between two adjacent speakers of the plurality of speakers greater than or equal to the specific minimum angle; and adjust, based on the calculated degree of priority, a fourth location of at least one second speaker of the plurality of speakers in the virtual space to make the inter-speaker angle between first priority speakers, of the plurality of speakers, greater than or equal to the specific minimum angle, wherein a priority of each first priority speaker of the first priority speakers is greater than a specific value.
