1. A voice augmentation device comprising:
a vibration input part receiving vibration of a voice of a speaker from at least one of a droplet suppressing member disposed between the speaker and a listener in order to suppress droplet generated from at least one of a mouth and nose of the speaker and air between the droplet suppressing member and the vibration input part; and
a vibration output part transmitting the vibration of the voice received by the vibration input part to air on a side of the listener with respect to the vibration output part, wherein
the voice augmentation device is disposed at a specific position with respect to the droplet suppressing member to augment the voice of the speaker transmitted to the listener,
the vibration input part is a solid portion receiving the vibration of the voice from at least one of the droplet suppressing member and the air between the droplet suppressing member and the vibration input part,
the vibration output part is a solid portion transmitting the vibration of the voice received by the vibration input part to the air on the side of the listener with respect to the vibration output part, and
the voice augmentation device transmits the voice from the vibration input part to the vibration output part as vibration transmitted in a solid.
