  • Publication number: 20140292653
    Abstract: In an AR device, when display control of additional information is performed for an object, a display device acquires a picture including an object in real space. An pointing device outputs, when pointing the object in real space by an operation of a user, information showing a feature for identifying the pointed object. A control device analyzes the picture by the display device and identifies objects in the picture. The control device outputs position information in the picture for the identified object. The control device outputs position information in the picture for the pointed object based on the outputted information from the pointing device. The control device extracts additional information of a target object from an additional information group of objects in real space. The control device performs display control of the additional information based on the calculated position information. The display device displays the additional information.
