INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18270407 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing device that can track the position and posture of a user's head and other body parts to control the display of virtual objects.
- Head information acquisition unit: Acquires the position and posture of the user's head.
- Physical information acquisition unit: Acquires the position and posture of a body part other than the head.
- Display control unit: Controls the display of virtual objects corresponding to the tracked body part, based on the history of its position and posture and the position and posture of the head.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in virtual reality gaming, medical simulations, and sports training programs.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately tracking multiple body parts in real-time for immersive virtual experiences.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced user interaction, improved accuracy in virtual environments, and potential applications in various industries.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Enhancing Virtual Reality Experiences with Body Tracking Technology"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to motion capture technology used in virtual reality systems or medical simulations.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle occlusions in tracking body parts?
The patent application does not specify how the device deals with occlusions when tracking body parts. This could be a potential limitation in scenarios where body parts are obstructed from view.
What is the accuracy of the position and posture tracking in different environments?
The patent application does not provide information on the accuracy of tracking in various environments, such as low-light conditions or crowded spaces. This could affect the usability of the device in real-world applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing device (TM) includes a head information acquisition unit (), a physical information acquisition unit (), and a display control unit (). The head information acquisition unit () acquires the position and posture of a head of a user. The physical information acquisition unit () acquires a position and posture of a portion of a body other than the head of the user. The display control unit () controls display of a virtual object corresponding to the portion of the body, on the basis of a history of the position and posture of the portion of the body and on the basis of the position and posture of the head, in a period before the position and posture of the portion of the body are acquired by the physical information acquisition unit ().
