Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device obtains acoustic signals through a plurality of microphones of a microphone array, while displaying a visual object on a display. the electronic device obtains first information related to propagated characteristics of the acoustic signals in a space where the microphone array is provided, based on the obtained acoustic signals. the electronic device changes an audio signal corresponding to the visual object based on the first information and second information for displaying the visual object in the display. the electronic device provides the changed audio signal using a speaker.
