INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR WARNING USER OF COLLISION WITH PHYSICAL OBJECT IN CROSS REALITY (XR) EXPERIENCE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18612965 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR WARNING USER OF COLLISION WITH PHYSICAL OBJECT IN CROSS REALITY (XR) EXPERIENCE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can acquire information about the position and orientation of a display apparatus, as well as the position of a physical object, in order to warn a user based on the presence of the physical object in their line of sight.
- The apparatus includes a first acquisition unit for acquiring information about the display apparatus, a second acquisition unit for acquiring information about a physical object, and a warning unit to change the warning method based on the presence of the physical object.
- The warning method is adjusted depending on whether the physical object is in the user's line of sight, enhancing user safety and awareness.
- By integrating information about the display apparatus and physical objects, the apparatus can provide more contextually relevant warnings to the user.
- This technology could be used in various applications such as augmented reality systems, navigation aids, and safety systems in vehicles.
- The innovation addresses the need for more intelligent warning systems that take into account the user's surroundings and potential hazards.
- Benefits include improved user safety, enhanced situational awareness, and more effective warning methods tailored to specific situations.
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality systems - Navigation aids - Vehicle safety systems
Problems Solved: - Lack of contextually relevant warnings - Ineffective warning methods - Limited situational awareness
Benefits: - Improved user safety - Enhanced situational awareness - Tailored warning methods
Commercial Applications: Title: Intelligent Warning System for Enhanced Safety This technology could be commercialized in industries such as automotive, augmented reality, and navigation systems. The market implications include improved user experience, increased safety standards, and potential partnerships with technology companies.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between the position of the display apparatus and a physical object? 2. What are the specific warning methods that the apparatus can change based on the presence of a physical object?
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to function as a first acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a position and an orientation of a display apparatus, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a position of a physical object, and a warning unit configured to change a warning method to warn a user depending on whether the physical object is present in a line-of-sight direction of the user.
