Abstract
There is provided a signal processing apparatus including: a control unit that executes, on a basis of a waveform signal generated in accordance with a motion of an attachment portion of a sensor attached to a tool or a body, effect processing for the waveform signal or another waveform signal, the waveform signal being output from the sensor. The signal processing apparatus performs presentation so that a body motion itself can be aurally felt.
Claims10
A signal processing apparatus, comprising:
