INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18747713 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that allows users to share a virtual three-dimensional model space and generate video effects based on the actual viewpoint of another user.

  • The apparatus includes at least one processor and/or circuit to acquire information about the actual viewpoint of another user.
  • It generates video effects based on the information about the actual viewpoint when the virtual viewpoint of the user differs due to a walk-through function.

Potential Applications:

  • Virtual reality gaming
  • Collaborative design projects
  • Virtual tours and presentations

Problems Solved:

  • Enhances user experience by synchronizing virtual and actual viewpoints
  • Improves communication and collaboration in shared virtual spaces

Benefits:

  • Real-time feedback and interaction
  • Enhanced immersion and engagement
  • Streamlined design and presentation processes

Commercial Applications:

  • Virtual reality software development
  • Architectural and interior design tools
  • Virtual event platforms

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between virtual and actual viewpoints? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns related to sharing actual viewpoints in virtual spaces?

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in virtual reality technology and user experience design may impact the development and implementation of this apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus that shares with another user a space where a virtual three-dimensional model is presented includes at least one processor and/or at least one circuit configured to acquire information about an actual viewpoint of the another user, and generate a video effect based on the information about the actual viewpoint of the another user in a case where a virtual viewpoint of the another user is different from the actual viewpoint of the another user because a walk-through function is used.
