INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338899 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that allows users to share a virtual three-dimensional model space. It includes technology to generate video effects based on the actual viewpoint of another user when their virtual viewpoint differs due to a walk-through function.
- Acquires information about the actual viewpoint of another user
- Generates video effects based on the actual viewpoint when it differs from the virtual viewpoint
- Utilizes a walk-through function to create the discrepancy in viewpoints
Potential Applications: 1. Virtual reality gaming 2. Architectural design and visualization 3. Collaborative virtual meetings and presentations
Problems Solved: 1. Addressing discrepancies between virtual and actual viewpoints in shared virtual spaces 2. Enhancing user experience and interaction in virtual environments
Benefits: 1. Improved collaboration and communication in virtual settings 2. Enhanced immersion and realism in virtual experiences 3. Customized video effects based on individual viewpoints
Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in virtual reality gaming platforms, architectural design software, and virtual meeting applications to enhance user engagement and interaction.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the apparatus acquire information about the actual viewpoint of another user? 2. What are the potential implications of using video effects based on actual viewpoints in virtual environments?
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.
