  • Publication number: 20160252730
    Abstract: An image generating system includes a first attitude data obtaining unit obtaining first attitude data indicating an attitude of a head-mounted display in first timing; a reference image generating unit generating a reference image showing a state of looking at a virtual three-dimensional space from a viewpoint, a position and a sight line direction of the viewpoint being identified on a basis of the first attitude data; a second attitude data obtaining unit obtaining second, attitude data indicating the attitude of the head-mounted display in second timing; a corresponding position identifying unit identifying a corresponding position for each pixel within a display image to be displayed on the head-mounted display; a pixel value identifying unit identifying a pixel value of the pixel within the display image, the pixel being associated with the corresponding position; and a display image generating unit generating the display image.

  • Patent number: 9424617
    Abstract: An intermediate command generation unit generates intermediate commands, which are intermediate rendering commands having model data for rendering an object. A graphics command conversion unit converts the generated intermediate commands into a graphic command sequence for execution by a graphics processor. An identity determination unit determines whether a state of a graphics command to be generated from an intermediate command is the same as a state of the graphics command generated previously. A graphics command generation unit generates a graphics command determined by the identity determination unit as not having the same state, and does not generate a graphics command determined as having the same state, defining the command as a redundant command.

  • Patent number: 8624896
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus including: a plurality of data processing functional blocks each used for carrying out individual data processing; a flow control section configured to execute control of data flows among the data processing functional blocks; and a control section configured to carry out a setting process to set the data processing functional blocks and the flow control section. The control section acquires configuration information in accordance with a task list for data processing to be carried out; carries out the setting process to set the data processing functional blocks and the flow control section on the basis of the acquired configuration information; and constructs a data processing configuration adapted to various kinds of data processing to be carried out.

  • Patent number: 5032225
    Abstract: When a paper web is coated on paper machine the surface temperature is controlled at or below a temperature determined by an equation (1) given below, in order to obtain a coated paper having an evenly coated layer. ##EQU1## where T: surface temperature of the paper web (.degree.C.)m: wet value of the paper web (g by weight)v: viscosity of the coating composition (cps)x: x=40 or 35 with 35 being the preferred form of the equation.
