More specifically, the 3D image generation means of the production control unit links the movement of the viewpoint of the virtual camera with the movement of the player's head, and generates a more realistic 3D image for the player. Can be displayed.

  The three-dimensional image generation unit of the gaming machine generates an image by arranging at least a predetermined display object and a shielding object that shields the display object in the virtual space. Here, the “shielding” includes that all or a part of the object is shielded so that the whole is not visible, and at least a part thereof is not visible. The occlusion object is arranged at an intermediate position between the display object and the viewpoint of the virtual camera in the virtual space, and moves and / or stops following the viewpoint of the virtual camera so as to shield the player from viewing the display object. To do. Therefore, even if the player moves the head and the viewpoint of the virtual camera changes, the display object is shielded so as to be prevented from being visually recognized by the shielding object. However, since the occlusion object moves and / or stops following the viewpoint of the virtual camera, if the player moves his / her head to actively move the viewpoint of the virtual camera, the player is occluded. Opportunities for visually recognizing the display object through the moving object can be increased. As a result, a player who wants to visually recognize a display object can be encouraged to actively move his head to see the hidden display object through the occlusion object, and the player actively participates. Produce a highly interesting game machine.

  The three-dimensional image generation unit of the effect control unit of the gaming machine can be configured as follows when the occluding object is moved and / or stopped following the viewpoint of the virtual camera. That is, the occlusion object is moved at a speed different from the movement speed of the viewpoint of the virtual camera, moved and / or stopped after the movement of the viewpoint, or moved in a path different from the movement path of the viewpoint. Or, even if the moved viewpoint stops, continue to move and move so that the point where the viewpoint has stopped is moved, or move in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the viewpoint and then move behind the movement of the viewpoint. The image may be generated in such a manner as to be stopped. For the player, the visual aspect changes in each case in the opportunity to visually recognize the shielded display object through the moving shield object. In any case, the gaming machine detects the movement of the head of the player who wants to visually recognize the display object, and controls the movement and / or stop movement of the shielding object based on the movement. Various ways of showing can be controlled to further increase the player's desire to see the display object.

  Alternatively, the 3D image generation unit of the effect control unit of the gaming machine rotates the shielding object, increases or decreases the size of the shielding object, or makes the shielding object transparent, erases, or divides it. Or, by slowing the movement of the occlusion object or interrupting following the viewpoint of the virtual camera, an image is generated so that the player can easily see the display object under a predetermined condition. May be. Further, the movement and / or stop movement of the occluding object may be changed in accordance with the direction and amount of change in the head position information, and the cumulative number or time of the movement of occluding the display object. . Even if the display object remains difficult to visually recognize due to the occlusion object, the display object is positively moved by moving the head by making it easier for the player to visually recognize the display object under predetermined conditions. It is possible to satisfy the player who tries to visually recognize the game.

  In the gaming machine of the present invention, the case includes at least one pair of a left speaker and a right speaker facing the player, and an effect control unit generates an audio signal linked to the effect image, and a game An audio localization changing unit that changes the localization of the audio signal following the direction and amount of change of the person's head position information, and receiving the output from the audio localization changing unit, the left channel audio signal or And an audio output unit that outputs a right channel audio signal. Not only does it generate and display 3D images in which the movement of the virtual camera's viewpoint is linked to the movement of the player's head, but it also has a more realistic sense of unity by linking the localization of the audio signal. Produce a virtual experience with a feeling.

  In addition, the audio output unit of the production control unit receives the output from the audio localization changing unit and localizes the sound signal at a position different from the left speaker and the right speaker, and the player's head position information And an offset correction unit that adjusts the output balance of the left channel audio signal or the right channel audio signal, and adjusts the respective delay amounts. In particular, when trying to give a player a sense of localization of a predetermined sound signal using the virtual sound image localization unit, the virtual sound image localization effect is effective only in the vicinity of the center of the left speaker and the right speaker only with the virtual sound image localization unit. Even if there is not, by providing an offset correction unit that follows the direction and amount of change in the player's head position information, the virtual sound image localization unit has a sense of localization at any position within the play area assumed by the gaming machine There is an advantage that it is remarkably improved.

  The gaming machine and its effect control method of the present invention can naturally encourage the player to actively move the head of the player and provide an interesting gaming machine and its effect control method.

  FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are diagrams illustrating how the monitor image 40 that is a three-dimensional image reproduced on the monitor 4 is generated in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment at the time of a game effect. Specifically, FIGS. 3A and 4A are diagrams for explaining a captured image 50 by the camera 5, and FIGS. 3B and 4B are diagrams of the three-dimensional image generation unit 31. FIG. 3C and FIG. 4C are diagrams illustrating a monitor image 40 reproduced on the monitor 4. FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the steps for generating the monitor image 40 of the gaming machine 1. In this embodiment, based on the result of head detection (face recognition) using the camera 5, the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 of the 3D image generation unit 31 is moved, and “A ”, A background object 104 disposed relatively behind the display object 103 in the virtual three-dimensional space 100, and a display object 103 disposed on the front side of the display object 103 to shield the display object 103. The operation of the video effect for generating the image 40 by arranging the shielding object 105 or 106 in the virtual three-dimensional space 100 is shown. It is assumed that the player 9 always faces the origin direction (0, 0, 0) in the virtual three-dimensional space 100.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, when the scene drawing process is started in the three-dimensional image generation unit 31, the face position coordinates Pf (cx, cy) in the photographed image 50 by the camera 5 are first detected (step S1). The camera 5 and the head detection unit 39 use the captured image 50 to define a virtual plane parallel to the screen that substantially matches the screen size of the monitor 4 within the range of the angle of view of the lens. The position information of the player 9 in the two-dimensional direction of the x direction and the y direction is detected. The camera 5 and the head detection unit 39 which are head detection means recognize the face or the shape of the head of the player 9 as a rectangular area f shown in the photographed image 50, and set the center position thereof as the head of the player 9. Position information. In the case of FIG. 3A, the player 9 is located approximately at the center on the front side of the housing 2 that is assumed as a play area of the gaming machine 1. On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 4A, the player 9 is located at a position moved from the center to the upper right side, and the camera 5 and the head detection unit 39 are represented by two-dimensional coordinates Pf (cx, cy). The position information of the head of the player 9 to be played is output.

  Next, the virtual camera coordinates Pc (x, y, z) of the virtual camera 101 in the three-dimensional space 100 are determined from the face position coordinates Pf (cx, cy) (step S2). That is, the viewpoint changing unit 32 changes the position information of the head of the player 9 detected by the camera 5 and the head detecting unit 39 so as to change from the case of FIG. 3B to the case of FIG. The viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 of the 3D image generation unit 31 is moved following the change direction and the change amount. When the position of the virtual camera 101 moves and the viewpoint changes, when the rendering range 102 defined in the three-dimensional image is viewed from the virtual camera 101, the appearance of the objects 103 to 106 changes.

  Next, the display position (px + dx, py + dy, pz + dz) of each display object is determined from the face position coordinates Pf (cx, cy) and the virtual camera coordinates Pc (x, y, z) (step S3). ). That is, the display object 103 or the background object 104 that displays the specific character “A” in the production, and the object control display unit 33 that generates the shielding object 105 or 106 are detected by the camera 5 and the head detection unit 39. Based on the position information of the player 9's head, the objects 103 to 106 are generated and reflected on the monitor image 40 generated by the three-dimensional image generation unit 31. Here, it is assumed that the display object 103 that displays “A”, which is a specific character for production, is arranged in the origin direction (x1 = 0, y1 = 0, z1 = 0). The specific character “A” is, for example, a character or a design suggesting a lottery result in the gaming machine 1 or the like. In addition, the background object 104 such as a background sky cloud or star is farther from the virtual camera coordinates Pc (x, y, z) than the display object 103. It becomes smaller than the case of 105 or 106.

  Next, the shielding object 105 that shields the display object 103 from the placement (x1, y1, z1) of the display object 103 that displays the virtual camera coordinates Pc (x, y, z) and the specific character “A”. The display position (x2, y2, z2) or the display position (x3, y3, z3) of 106 is determined (step S4). That is, for example, the shielding object 105 is a coordinate on a straight line connecting the virtual camera coordinates Pc (x, y, z) and the display object 103 arranged in the viewing direction (0, 0, 0) in the virtual three-dimensional space 100. Assuming that it is arranged at P (px, py, pz), an offset value (dx, dy, dz) based on the face position coordinates Pf (cx, cy) is added to this, and the occlusion object 105 is arranged. Let the coordinates be P '(px + dx, py + dy, pz + dz). The same applies to the shielding object 106.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the occlusion object 105 or 106 arranged in the three-dimensional monitor image 40 includes a display object 103 and virtual camera coordinates Pc (x, y, z) in the virtual three-dimensional space 100. The player 9 moves and / or stops following the viewpoint of the virtual camera so as to block the player 9 from seeing the specific character “A” displayed in the central portion of the display object 103. To do. Either one of the occlusion objects 105 or 106 may be alone, or may be composed of a group of a plurality of objects. The occlusion objects 105 and 106 of the present embodiment are opaque rectangular parallelepipeds for the sake of simplicity of explanation, but as will be described later, the occlusion objects are in the process of moving and / or stopping their shape, size, and appearance. It may be changed.

  Finally, the object on the three-dimensional space is rendered (step S5). That is, when the scene drawing process is finished (step S6: Yes), the three-dimensional image generation unit 31 renders the rendering range 102 defined in the three-dimensional space 100 into a two-dimensional image, and the monitor image 40 Is output to the monitor 4 as follows. If the scene drawing process is not finished (step S6: No), the process returns to step S1 to repeat the scene drawing process. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 3C, when the player 9 is located approximately at the center on the front side of the housing 2 that is assumed as the play area of the gaming machine 1, the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 is also three-dimensional. The occlusion object 105 located substantially at the center along the z-axis of the space and located on the left side is closer to the display object 103 located substantially at the center of the monitor image 40, thereby making it easier to occlude the player's line of sight. On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 4C, when the player 9 moves to the upper right side on the front side of the housing 2 that is assumed as the play area of the gaming machine 1, The viewpoint also moves to the position (x, y, z) in the three-dimensional space, and the occlusion object 106 located on the right side is closer to the display object 103 located substantially in the center of the monitor image 40, and the line of sight of the player 9 Easy to shield.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the monitor image 40 displayed on the monitor 4 is a three-dimensional image that is linked to reflect the movement of the head of the player 9, so that the object whose viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 has changed The change in the appearance of 103 to 106 becomes a realistic sense of unity for the player 9. Further, as illustrated in FIGS. 3C and 4C, the display object 103 displaying the specific character “A” is a shielding object 105 that moves and / or stops following the viewpoint of the virtual camera. By 106, it arrange | positions so that it may be prevented from visually recognizing from the player 9. FIG. The occlusion object 105 or 106 is stopped without moving relative to the display object 103 in the virtual three-dimensional space 100 if the appearance changes with the change in the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101. Although it may be a thing, as shown by the arrow in FIG.3 and FIG.4, what moves relatively with respect to the display object 103 is preferable. The occlusion object 105 or 106 is arranged at an intermediate position between the display object 103 and the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 in the virtual three-dimensional space 100, and the player 9 visually recognizes the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103. It moves and / or stops following the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 so as to shield the above.

  6 to 9 are diagrams illustrating the movement and / or stop operation of the shielding object 105 that shields the display object 103. 6A to 9A are diagrams for explaining the arrangement of objects including the virtual camera 101 on the XZ plane in the virtual three-dimensional space 100 in common. FIGS. 6B to 9B are diagrams illustrating the monitor image 40 reproduced on the monitor 4 when corresponding to FIGS. 6A to 9A, respectively. In order to simplify the description, description and illustration of other objects and the like are omitted. However, the arrangement of the virtual camera 101 in the virtual three-dimensional space 100 changes according to the position information of the head of the player 9 detected by the camera 5 and the head detection unit 39 as described above.

  In the case of FIG. 6, the virtual camera 101 displays the display object 103 arranged at (0, 0, 0) on the z axis that is a direction in which the specific character “A” displayed on the surface can be viewed from the front. It is arranged to catch from the direction along. That is, a case is assumed where the head of the player 9 is stopped at a position substantially in front of the camera 5 as in the case of FIG. The occlusion object 105 is placed at an intermediate position between the display object 103 and the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 in the virtual space 101 and is stopped. The occlusion object 105 is a non-transparent object, and is drawn so as to occlude almost all the main part of the display object 103 in the monitor image 40. Therefore, the player 9 cannot visually recognize the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103.

  Next, in the case of FIG. 7, the virtual camera 101 captures the target display object 103 not from the direction along the z axis in the case of FIG. 6 but from the direction rotated about 15 degrees from the z axis. Moving. That is, it is assumed that the head of the player 9 moves from the front of the camera 5 to the right as in the case of FIG. The occlusion object 105 moves following the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101, but is set so as to start moving behind the movement of the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101. As a result, immediately after the virtual camera 101 starts moving, the occlusion object 105 is drawn so as not to obstruct the main part of the display object 103 by moving to the opposite side in the monitor image 40. Unlike the moving speed of the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101, the moving speed of the occluding object 105 is the same even if the moving speed is further decreased. Therefore, the player 9 can visually recognize the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103 by moving the head of the player 9 largely to the right.

  Next, in the case of FIG. 8, the virtual camera 101 moves so as to be caught from a direction rotated about 15 degrees from the z-axis and is almost stopped. That is, a case is assumed in which the head of the player 9 moves from the front of the camera 5 to the right side and then stops there as in the case of FIG. The occlusion object 105 is set to move following the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101, move at a speed so as to follow the movement of the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101, and then stop. As a result, the occlusion object 105 catches up with the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 when the virtual camera 101 stops, and is placed at an intermediate position between the display object 103 and the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 in the virtual space 101 and stops. Therefore, in the monitor image 40, the player 9 cannot see the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103 again.

  Further, in the case of FIG. 9, the virtual camera 101 starts moving so as to return in the z-axis direction from the state stopped at the position in the case of FIGS. 7 and 8. That is, it is assumed that the head of the player 9 starts moving from the right side of the camera 5 to the front so as to return from the case of FIG. 4 to the case of FIG. The occlusion object 105 moves following the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101, but is set so as to start moving behind the movement of the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101. As a result, immediately after the virtual camera 101 starts moving, the occlusion object 105 is drawn so as not to obstruct the main part of the display object 103 by moving to the opposite side in the monitor image 40. Therefore, the player 9 can visually recognize again the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103 by moving the head of the player 9 largely to the left.

  When the occluding object 103 is moved and / or stopped following the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101, if the occluding object 103 is always completely coincident with the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101, the obscuring object 105 is always displayed in the drawn monitor image 40. Even if the display object 103 is placed behind the player 9 and the player 9 moves his head greatly, the player 9 cannot substantially visually recognize the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103. Accordingly, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, if the shielding object 105 is moved and / or stopped behind the movement of the virtual camera 101, the player 9 can visually recognize the movement of the head of the player 9. The specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103 can be actually visually recognized.

  The movement pattern for moving and / or stopping the occluding object 105 following the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 is not limited to the above embodiment. Any action pattern may be used as long as the player 9 can visually change the display mode 103 in various ways when the player 9 visually recognizes the display object 103 through the moving object 105. For example, as shown in the above embodiment, the occluding object 105 may be moved not only at a speed different from the moving speed of the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 but also moved along a path different from the moving path of the viewpoint. For example, even if the movement locus of the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 is detected as a straight line, the movement locus of the shielding object 105 that follows this may be an arc. If the radius of the arc of the movement trajectory of the occluding object 105 can be changed variously, the movement of the occluding object 105 can be made to jump and follow the display object 103. Even if the moving speed of the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 and the moving speed of the shielding object 105 are set to be substantially the same, if the moving locus of the shielding object 105 is set to an arc, the shielding object 105 turns around and the display object 103 is moved. Therefore, the player 9 has more opportunities to visually recognize the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103.

  Alternatively, the monitor image 40 may be generated by moving the occlusion object 105 so that the point where the viewpoint is stopped continues to move even if the viewpoint of the moved virtual camera 101 stops. As an example of this, the case where the occluding object 105 overruns will be described with reference to FIG. 6, FIG. 8, and FIG. In the case of FIG. 6, assuming that the head of the player 9 is stopped at a position almost in front of the camera 5, the player 9 visually recognizes the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103 as described above. Can not do it. When the moving speed of the occluding object 105 is set so as not to be almost delayed from the movement of the virtual camera 101, the head of the player 9 moves to the right as in the case of FIG. Since the shielding object 105 is almost always shielded even if the player moves, the player 9 cannot visually recognize the moving display object 103. However, in the case of FIG. 9, if the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 that has moved is immediately after stopping, the obscured object 105 continues to be moved even when the virtual camera 101 stops, and the point where the viewpoint has stopped is shown. You can overrun and overrun and stop there. That is, when the movement of the head of the player 9 is abrupt and repeats moving and stopping, the shielding object 105 repeats overrun. As a result, the player 9 can visually recognize the specific character “A” displayed on the display object 103.

  Alternatively, the occluding object 105 may be moved and / or stopped after the movement of the viewpoint after the occluding object 105 is moved in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101. In this case, the initial movement of the occluding object 105 following the virtual camera 101 is further emphasized, and the action of the occluding object 105 that makes a flashy action can be drawn on the monitor image 40. In any of the above cases, the movement of the head of the player 9 who wants to visually recognize the display object 103 is detected, and the movement and / or stop movement of the shielding object 105 is controlled based on the movement. The player 9 notices that the movement of the head changes to the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101 of the three-dimensional monitor image 40, and if the head is actively moved or stopped, the player 9 is displayed on the display object 103. It will naturally be understood that the chance of visually recognizing the specific character “A” increases. Accordingly, it is possible to further increase the desire for the player 9 to peep at the display object 103 hidden by the shielding object 105.

  In the above embodiment, the shielding object 105 or 106 is a rectangular parallelepiped object, but any other shape object or character that is preferable for the presentation of the gaming machine 1 as long as it blocks the line of sight of the player 9 with respect to the display object 103. Other drawing objects including Further, when the occluding object 105 or 106 moves and / or stops following the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101, the obscuring object 105 or 106 is rotated to temporarily display the display object 103 shielded behind. 9 may be easily visible. Even if the player 9 moves the head and actively tries to visually recognize the display object 103, the player 9 may lose interest if the display object 103 cannot be seen well due to the obstruction object 105 or 106 being obstructed. There is also. Therefore, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, it is appropriate to make the display object 103 easily visible so that the player 9 does not lose interest.

  For example, when the action of the shielding object 105 shielding the display object 103 has elapsed for a predetermined time, the size of the shielding object 105 is gradually reduced so that the player 9 can easily read the specific character of the display object 103 behind. Also good. Similarly, for example, only when it is detected that the player 9 has moved his / her head in one direction, the shielding object 105 is made transparent, erased, divided, or moved. The display object 103 may be made easier to visually recognize by suddenly changing the way the obscured object 105 is displayed, for example, by slowing down or stopping following the viewpoint of the virtual camera 101. If the player 9 senses that the appearance of the shielding object 105 changes, the player 9 can be guided to make a specific head movement.

  Further, for example, when the shielding object 105 is a drawing object including a character such as an animal or a person preferable for the production of the gaming machine 1, the shielding object 105 of the character that walks or runs is the display object 103. Can be shielded. Further, the character's shielding object 105 may be rolled or scooped after a predetermined time so that the player 9 can easily read the specific character of the display object 103 behind. Similarly, for example, by using the shielding object 105 of a character such as an airplane, an effect such as an explosion is drawn, so that the way of displaying the shielding object 105 is suddenly changed so that the display object 103 is easily visible. Also good.

  In order to make the display object 103 easier to visually recognize under a predetermined condition so as to increase the interest of the player 9 who wants to see the display object 103 while avoiding the obstacle object 105, the camera 5 and the head detection unit The movement direction and / or the stop operation of the shielding object 105 according to the change direction and amount of the head position information detected by 39 and the cumulative number or time of the movement of the shielding object 105 shielding the display object 103. Change it. That is, in the production process, when it is determined that the player 9 tries to peek at the display object 103 by frequently moving the head even if the shielding object 105 does not easily move from the front of the display object 103 at the beginning. Alternatively, the operation of the shielding object 105 may be gradually delayed to make the display object 103 easier to visually recognize. Further, for example, if the number of times that the display object 103 becomes visible by moving the shielding object 105 due to the movement of the player 9 is three times or more, a change is made such that the shielding object 105 is gradually reduced. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to keep the interest in the production and not lose the interest of the player 9. Moreover, it becomes easy for the player 9 to understand that the gaming machine 1 detects the movement of the player 9 in real time, and it becomes easy to obtain a virtual experience with a realistic presence.

  When the camera 5 and the head detection unit 39, which are head detection means, recognize the face or head shape of the player 9 as the rectangular area f shown in the captured image 50, Based on the size, the relative distance between the housing 2 of the gaming machine 1 and the player 9 may be detected. That is, when the area of the rectangular area f detected in the captured image 50 is large, the player 9 is relatively close to the housing 2, and on the contrary, when the area of the rectangular area f is small, the player 9 is relatively Therefore, the position z of the virtual camera coordinates Pc (x, y, z) of the virtual camera 101 in the three-dimensional space 100 is determined in consideration of the detected relative distance. Therefore, the 3D image generation unit 31 can also change the position of the virtual camera 101 in the depth direction in the 3D space 100 and output the 3D image with the changed viewpoint to the monitor image 40. Similarly, the object control display unit 33 may change the size of the shielding object 105 or 106 based on the detected relative distance between the casing 2 of the gaming machine 1 and the player 9. For example, when it is detected that the player 9 is approaching the housing 2 of the gaming machine 1, the shielding object 105, which is a female face character, is drawn so that the face approaches the player 9, An effect that brings it closer may be realized.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining virtual sound image localization and sound field feeling of the gaming machine 1. Specifically, FIGS. 10 (a1) and 10 (b1) are diagrams illustrating a captured image 50 detected by the camera 5 and the head detection unit 39, and FIGS. 10 (a2) and 10 (b). b2) is a diagram illustrating the virtual localization positions of the virtual speakers VL and VR for the player 9 when the gaming machine 1 and the player 9 are viewed from above. 10 (a1) and 10 (b1) are cases where the player 9 is located at the center position c0 in the left-right direction with respect to the monitor 4, and FIGS. 10 (a2) and 10 (b2) This is a case where the player 9 is located at the position c1 moved with respect to the monitor 4.

  As described above, the control circuit 3 includes the audio signal generation unit 34 that generates an audio signal linked to the progress of the game, and the change direction of the position information of the head of the player 9 detected by the camera 5 that is the head detection means. The audio localization changing unit 35 that changes the localization of the audio signal following the change amount and the output from the audio localization changing unit 35 receives the left channel audio signal or the right channel audio signal to the left speaker 6L and the right speaker 6R. And an audio output unit 36 for outputting. Therefore, even when the player 9 is located at the center position c0 as shown in FIGS. 10 (a1) and 10 (b1), the player 9 is slightly off the center as shown in FIGS. 10 (a2) and 10 (b2). The left channel audio signal or the right channel audio linked to the game progress is reproduced from the left speaker 6L and the right speaker 6R arranged symmetrically even when the player 9 is positioned at the position c1, so that the player 9 has a spacious sound field. A feeling is obtained. Since the audio localization changing unit 35 changes the localization of the audio signal in conjunction with the movement of the head of the player 9, the player 9 can see the three-dimensional image represented on the monitor image 40 together with the realistic presence. A virtual experience with a feeling can be obtained.

  Further, the audio output unit 36 of the control circuit 3 further includes a virtual sound image localization unit 37 that receives the output from the audio localization changing unit 35 and localizes the audio signal at a position different from the left speaker 6L and the right speaker 6R. Including. Therefore, when the player 9 is located at the center position c0 as shown in FIGS. 10 (a1) and 10 (b1), the virtual speakers VL and VR are placed in the horizontal direction of the player 9 where the speakers are not actually arranged. By virtual localization, it is possible to give the player 9 a sound field feeling that surrounds the player 9. By changing the balance and timing of the audio signals given to the left speaker 6L and the right speaker 6R that actually exist and the virtual speakers VL and VR, the three-dimensional image expressed in the monitor image 40 is adapted to the movement of the image. Changes in sound image localization can be given.

  Further, the audio output unit 36 of the control circuit 3 further follows the change direction and the change amount of the position information of the head of the player 9 detected by the camera 5 and the head detection unit 39 which are head detection means. And an offset correction unit 38 that adjusts the output balance of the left channel audio signal or the right channel audio signal and adjusts the respective delay amounts. Even if the player 9 moves to the position c1 offset from the central position c0 as shown in FIGS. 10 (a1) and 10 (b1), the left channel audio signal or the right Always adjust the output balance and delay of the channel audio signal. Specifically, the offset correction unit 38 determines the relative volume level and the delay so that the left channel audio signal and the right channel audio signal are localized between the left speaker 6L and the right speaker 6R with respect to a common monaural component. Adjust the time. As shown in FIG. 10 (b2), for the player 9, the left speaker 6L 'and the right speaker 6R' subjected to offset correction are virtually arranged.

  As a result, the audio output unit 36 of the control circuit 3 causes the virtual speakers VL ′ and VR ′ to be virtually localized in the left and right direction of the player 9 in which no speakers are arranged, and the sound field feeling that the player 9 is wrapped is obtained. Even if 9 moves, it can always be given. By providing the offset correction means 38 that works in conjunction with the camera 5 and the head detection unit 39, the virtual localization unit 37 includes a region other than the vicinity of the center of the left speaker 6L and the right speaker 6R within the play area assumed by the gaming machine 1. At any position, the localization feeling by the virtual sound image localization unit 37 is significantly improved. The moving obscuration object 105 or 106 may be drawn as a character of a moving sound source such as a helicopter, and the sound source may be moved in accordance with the movement locus of the occluding object 105 to change the sound image localization. That is, in the case of the present embodiment, when the player 9 actively moves the head, the shielding object 105 or 106 in the monitor image 40 moves and / or stops, and the appearance and sound image localization thereof change. To do. Therefore, the player 9 is naturally urged to move, and the relative relationship in the virtual three-dimensional space 100 between the virtual player 9 and the moving object sound source object 105 or 106 in the virtual three-dimensional space 100 becomes easy to understand intuitively. There is an advantage that the sound image localization feeling of the signal is also improved.
