INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18259093 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control device that generates images combining real-world objects captured by a robot's camera with virtual objects, displayed through an HMD. When the HMD's position changes, the control device generates new images from a different viewpoint, deleting the real-world object and displaying only the virtual object.
- Control device generates images combining real-world and virtual objects
- HMD displays images generated by control device
- Control device adjusts images based on HMD position changes
- Real-world object deleted in new images, displaying only virtual object
---
- Potential Applications
- Augmented reality gaming
- Virtual tours and simulations
- Training and education in virtual environments
- Problems Solved
- Seamless integration of real-world and virtual objects
- Dynamic adjustment of viewpoint based on user's position
- Enhanced user experience in mixed reality environments
- Benefits
- Immersive and interactive experiences
- Personalized content based on user's movements
- Real-time adaptation to user's perspective
Original Abstract Submitted
A control device generates a first image in which, together with an object in the real world appearing in an image captured by a camera of a robot, a virtual object appears and which presents an exterior appearance of the virtual object while the position of the camera of the robot is set as a view-point. An HMD displays the first image generated by the control device. In a case in which the position of the HMD in the height direction changes, the control device generates a second image from which the object in the real world is deleted and which presents the exterior appearance of the virtual object viewed from a new view-point according to the change in the position of the HMD in the height direction. The HMD displays the second image in place of the first image.
