DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013503 titled 'DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display control device that utilizes augmented reality technology to place virtual objects within a real space based on the recognition result of a real object captured in an image. The device also includes an operation acquisition part to acquire user operations. When the user performs a specific operation, the display controller moves the virtual object within the augmented reality space.

  • The display control device uses augmented reality to overlay virtual objects onto a real space.
  • The device analyzes images captured by an imaging part to recognize real objects.
  • Based on the recognition result, the device places virtual objects within the augmented reality space corresponding to the real space.
  • The device includes an operation acquisition part to capture user operations.
  • If the user performs a specific operation (first operation), the display controller moves the virtual object within the augmented reality space.

Potential Applications:

  • Gaming: The technology can be used to create immersive augmented reality games where virtual objects interact with real-world environments.
  • Interior Design: Users can visualize and place virtual furniture or decorations within their real living spaces to see how they would look before making actual purchases.
  • Education: Augmented reality can be used to enhance learning experiences by overlaying virtual objects or information onto real-world objects or locations.

Problems Solved:

  • Difficulty in visualizing how virtual objects would appear in real-world environments.
  • Lack of interactivity between virtual objects and real-world spaces.
  • Limited ability to recognize and track real objects accurately in images.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced user experience by seamlessly integrating virtual objects into the real world.
  • Improved visualization and decision-making in various fields such as gaming, design, and education.
  • Increased interactivity and engagement through the ability to manipulate virtual objects within the augmented reality space.


Original Abstract Submitted

there is provided a display control device including a display controller configured to place a virtual object within an augmented reality space corresponding to a real space in accordance with a recognition result of a real object shown in an image captured by an imaging part, and an operation acquisition part configured to acquire a user operation. when the user operation is a first operation, the display controller causes the virtual object to move within the augmented reality space.
