Abstract
The aerial image display device realizes an aerial display by forming an image in mid-air via an optical system. This aerial image display device is provided with a wave field synthesis speaker composed of a large number of small speakers. A virtual sound source, capable of moving to follow the movement of the aerial image, is created at a position overlapping the aerial display by the wave field synthesis speaker. As a result, the system enables diverse expressions in both visual and auditory aspects, accompanied by a sense of floating in which sound is integrated with the motion of the image.
