INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18483548 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that controls the display of virtual objects in a three-dimensional space based on user input.
- The display control unit places virtual objects in a three-dimensional space as the user's field of view.
- The setting unit allows the user to set a selection range in the three-dimensional space using an operation body held in the user's hand.
- The selection unit switches the state of virtual objects between selected and deselected based on the selection range.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in virtual reality gaming, architectural design, and medical simulations.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately selecting and manipulating virtual objects in a three-dimensional space.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user interaction with virtual objects, enhanced user experience, and increased efficiency in tasks involving virtual objects.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include virtual reality gaming systems, virtual design software, and medical training simulations.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be motion-controlled virtual reality systems that allow users to interact with virtual objects using hand gestures.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle complex interactions with multiple virtual objects in the three-dimensional space?
The patent application does not provide details on how the technology manages interactions with multiple virtual objects simultaneously.
What are the limitations of the selection range set by the user in the three-dimensional space?
The patent application does not discuss any potential limitations or constraints on the selection range set by the user.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a display control unit configured to perform display control of a virtual object such that the virtual object is placed in a three-dimensional space that serves as a field of view of a user; a setting unit configured to set a selection range in the three-dimensional space based on a plurality of positions differently distanced from the user, the plurality of positions being designated by using an operation body located at a position of a hand of the user; and a selection unit configured to switch a state of the virtual object between a selected state and a deselected state based on the selection range.
