Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a virtual object shape storage unit acquires the position of an operation unit, sets a virtual plane at the acquired position in the virtual space, and records the trajectory of the operation unit after the virtual plane is set. The virtual object shape storage unit then obtains a projection trajectory by projecting the trajectory onto the virtual plane, and records the obtained projection trajectory as contour data representing the contour of a target virtual object on the virtual plane. And then, the apparatus acquires a position and orientation of a viewpoint of the user, and generates and outputs an image of the virtual space seen from the viewpoint on the basis of the acquired position and orientation, the virtual space including the virtual plane and the virtual object having the contour represented by the contour data.

Abstract: While a first mode is set as the operation mode of an image processing apparatus, an image of a virtual space containing a virtual object seen from a first viewpoint having a position and orientation set by a user is generated and output. While a second mode is set as the operation mode of the image processing apparatus, an image of a virtual space seen from a second viewpoint determined based on information of the first viewpoint and the position of a head mounted display device is generated and output.

Abstract: A method and apparatus adapted to input a position and orientation of a viewpoint in an image in MR space obtained by superimposing a first virtual object to be displayed on a display of a real space; to input a position and orientation of the real object; to calculate an amount of change in a relative orientation between the orientation of the viewpoint and the orientation of the real object; to switch a first virtual object to be displayed to a second virtual object to be displayed which is different from the first virtual object to be displayed when the amount of change exceeds a predetermined threshold; and to output an image in the MR space obtained by superimposing the second virtual object to be displayed on the display of the real space in accordance with the position and orientation of the viewpoint and the position of the real object.

Abstract: To provide a function of easily preventing burn-in at low cost without disturbing mixed reality being experienced by a user, a mixed reality presenting system includes a display control unit configured to display a confirmation image on a display unit when a first time period has elapsed since the display control unit had performed control to start display on the display unit, and to control display on the display unit in response to an operation performed on the confirmation image by a user of the mixed reality presenting system.
