Original Abstract Submitted
an audio content providing apparatus () acquires user position information () that indicates a user position (). the audio content providing apparatus () sets a sound image localization position () on the basis of the user position () and a reference position (), in a case where a user () is present in a target region (). here, a distance between the user position () and the sound image localization position () is shorter than a distance between the user position () and the reference position (). the audio content providing apparatus () outputs audio content () such that a sound image is localized at the sound image localization position ().
