1. A vibration control system including a processor operatively connected to first and second vibration actuators arranged on left and right when in use, the processor generating control signals that make the first and second vibration actuators vibrate, the processor configured to provide elements comprising:

  • a vibration source arrangement portion configured to arrange a vibration source in a virtual space;

    a vibration data generation portion configured to generate vibration data corresponding to vibration that is generated from the vibration source;

    a reception portion setting portion configured to set in the virtual space first and second reception portions each configured to receive the vibration from the vibration source, the reception portion setting portion being configured to set the first and second reception portions in the virtual space corresponding to the first and second vibration actuators, respectively, the first and second reception portions being arranged corresponding to left and right of an object comprising a virtual player;

    a changing portion configured to change the vibration data that is generated by the vibration data generation portion based on a space situation between the vibration source that is arranged by the vibration source arrangement portion and the first and second reception portions that are set by the reception portion setting portion, the changing portion being configured to generate first changed vibration data obtained by changing the vibration data that is generated by the vibration data generation portion based on the space situation between the vibration source and the first reception portion, and to generate second changed vibration data obtained by changing the vibration data that is generated by the vibration data generation portion based on the space situation between the vibration source and the second reception portion; and

    a vibration control portion configured to make the vibration actuators vibrate according to the vibration data that is changed by the changing portion, the vibration control portion being configured to make the first vibration actuator vibrate according to the first changed vibration data, and to make the second vibration actuator vibrate according to the second changed vibration data;

    the reception portion setting portion being further configured to set a third reception portion other than the first and second reception portions on the virtual player, andthe changing portion being further configured to further change the vibration data having been changed based on the space situation between the vibration source and the first and second reception portions based on a space situation between at least one of the first and second reception portions and the third reception portion.
