INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18390097 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system where an information processing device tracks the position of each fingertip of a user in real space and determines contact between a virtual object and a user's finger. The virtual object is displayed in a deformed state based on the position of the finger in contact with it.
- Information processing device tracks fingertip positions in real space
- Determines contact between virtual object and user's finger
- Virtual object displayed in deformed state based on finger position
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in virtual reality gaming, medical simulations, and interactive design applications.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately simulating touch interactions in virtual environments.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced user immersion, improved user experience, and more realistic virtual interactions.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include virtual reality gaming systems, medical training simulators, and interactive design tools.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be touch-sensitive displays that track finger movements for user interaction in virtual environments.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between intentional and unintentional finger contacts with the virtual object?
The system may use pressure sensors or algorithms to distinguish between intentional and unintentional finger contacts.
What is the accuracy of the fingertip tracking system in determining contact with the virtual object?
The accuracy of the fingertip tracking system may vary depending on the quality of sensors and algorithms used in the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing device obtains information regarding the position of each fingertip of a user in a real space, and determines contact between a virtual object set within a virtual space and a finger of the user. The information processing device sets the virtual object in a partly deformed state such that a part of the virtual object, the part corresponding to the position of the finger determined to be in contact with the object among the fingers of the user, is located more to a far side from a user side than the finger, and displays the virtual object having the shape set thereto as an image in the virtual space on a display device.
