Abstract

The invention relates to a method for reproducing a moving picture composed of a succession of images and of monophonic sounds, comprising the steps of: determining spatial location of at least one zone in motion within said moving picture to be reproduced by analyzing successive images; identifying said zone in motion as corresponding to a source (P3) from which sound is originated; and reproducing said succession of images on a display (20) and corresponding sounds on at least one left loud speaker (21) and one right loud speaker (22), while applying to said sounds at least an audio 3D effect as a function of said spatial location.
