IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF OPERATING THREE DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL OBJECT, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211094 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF OPERATING THREE DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL OBJECT, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR

The image processing apparatus described in the patent application is designed to enhance the transition of a three-dimensional virtual object to a desired state after editing operations by the operator.

  • The apparatus allows the operator to edit a three-dimensional virtual object and provides different routes for transitioning the object after editing.
  • The operator can select coordinates on these routes to determine the final state of the virtual object.
  • This process increases the likelihood of achieving the desired outcome set by the operator.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in 3D modeling software for artists and designers to manipulate virtual objects more effectively.
  • It can also be applied in virtual reality and augmented reality applications for interactive experiences.

Problems Solved:

  • Helps streamline the editing process for three-dimensional virtual objects.
  • Enhances user control and customization of virtual objects.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy in transitioning virtual objects to desired states.
  • Enhanced user experience in editing three-dimensional models.

Commercial Applications:

  • This technology can be utilized in industries such as gaming, animation, architecture, and virtual prototyping for efficient editing and customization of virtual objects.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this image processing apparatus improve the editing process for three-dimensional virtual objects? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in the field of virtual reality and augmented reality applications?

Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of image processing algorithms to further enhance the capabilities of transitioning virtual objects in three-dimensional space.


Original Abstract Submitted

an image processing apparatus capable of increasing a possibility that a three dimensional virtual object after an operation related to editing is transitioned to a state intended by an operator. the image processing apparatus allows the operator to perform an operation related to editing of a three dimensional virtual object. the image processing apparatus includes a memory device that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to display a first route after the operation, display a second route after the operation, the second route being different from the first route, allow the operator to select any one of coordinates on the first route, allow the operator to select any one of coordinates on the second route, and determine a state of the three dimensional virtual object based on the coordinate selected by the operator on either one of the first route and the second route.
