  • Publication number: 20200004323
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus including circuitry configured to acquire information indicating a spatial relationship between a real object and a virtual object, and initiate generation of a user feedback based on the acquired information, the user feedback being displayed to be augmented to a generated image obtained based on capturing by an imaging device, or augmented to a perceived view of the real world, and wherein a characteristic of the user feedback is changed when the spatial relationship between the real object and the virtual object changes.

  • Publication number: 20190364224
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that are capable of adaptively displaying a video corresponding to sensed three-dimensional information in a space in which the video is displayed. The information processing apparatus includes: a determination unit that determines a setting related to display of a video when the video corresponding to first three-dimensional information sensed in a first real space is displayed in a second real space, on the basis of a sensing result in the second real space.

  • Publication number: 20190102956
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus to correct the display of a virtual object in a more favorable mode under conditions in which the virtual object is superimposed onto a real space. The information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information related to a result of recognizing a real object in a real space; a drawing unit that draws, in each of a plurality of buffers, display information directly or indirectly associated with the buffer from among a plurality of pieces of display information; and a display control unit that corrects a display of the display information drawn in each of the plurality of buffers on a basis of the result of recognizing the real object, and causes a predetermined output unit to present each piece of the display information whose display has been corrected according to a positional relationship with the real object.

  • Patent number: 6626954
    Abstract: A browser generates a sound of track 0 recorded in a MIDI file named music.mid. A Sony_AudioClip node receives data of the music.mid file as an event, outputting the data from a musicData field thereof to a musicData field of a Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node. The Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node interpolates a value between a value of a high sound and a value of a low sound prescribed by a keyValue field, outputting a result of the interpolation from value_changed. A PositionIP.value_changed field of a PositionInterpolator node outputs position data corresponding to data of the height of the sound supplied from the Sony_MusicNoteInterpolator node to a CONE_OBJ.set_translation field of a CONE_OBJ Transform node. As a result, the position of an object is changed in synchronization with the generation of a sound.
